everything, but i'm mostly referring to it's inability to return to the zero point... is there anything i can do to make the correct setup hold better?

ibanez fans will tell you that the TRS trem is to be avoided. it's a budget trem the company equips on their enty level guitars. the TRS & Edge/ Lo-pro edge are discontinued WEF 2003. if you want zero-point return accuracy, the new ZR bridge (check out ibanez's 2003 S-series offerings) would make you happy but be warned that this trem adds weight to your guitar.

ok that sounds good, but it look pretty big too, do you know if it can fit to my guitar without the need for rooting?

i have no idea if the ZR trem will retrofit your guitar, i don't think it's avaiable as a spare yet. but it'll definitely involve some additional routing in your trem spring cavity. IMO it's not worth it. i'd rather you get a guitar with the ZR already in as a default trem.

yeah, definetly expencive, but a new guitar will cost even more, so i'm ****ed.
routing and a new trem will be easier to get.

maybe you can go for a swap instead of a fresh purchase. even a used unit is worth it.

there's nothing wrong with the TRS to begin with- yes that's right. but in use, that's when you know its real worth.

floating tremelos are a pain in the ass too. I had a charvel once the same on i got this name from...its funny b/c i hated that guitar. always messing with it, the strings are a pain to replace to. and in all accuallity you can almost do the same **** without a floating tremalo.
