If you really want a guitar with a vibrato system I'd encourage you to just get a differrent guitar or an additional guitar. The PS60 is a tradional hardtail guitar designed with a Gibson style bridge. I think any decent vibrato system you put on that guitar is going to involve money & have to be retrofitted by drilling modifications.

That said, if you are insistent, here are some options.

I don't think Ibanez manufacturers those guitars with a vibrato block cavity that you can just use to drop a Strat style block in there.

Hope that helps!
