hey, i know how to use my tremelo and everything, and i know my stuff pretty well, but i'm having some trouble with one thing on my Ibanez RG470... when i bend up the tremelo, with the high e string, especially when i get up to about the 12th fret, i can only go up aproximately one half note before it dies from hitting the frets. now my buddy has a RG270 or some model like that and he has the same floyd rose low trs as i do, and his has the same action as mine, but the note doesn't die out. i've tried adjusting the truss rod, not much happened i don't think, and i don't want to raise my action any more, i think it's high enough, cause my friend's is, and i'm almost positive the frets are in perfect condition, i bought it new in january, and they look fine... anyone know?
