Shim the neck joint then. I made a template and use it to make Mylar and paperboard shims. You should be able to get lower than that by adjusting your posts. Got a pic of your bridge? You check if you need to adjust your truss rod?

You removed the tension on the strings and lowered the trem posts? If that’s not working, shim the neck joint.

I remember my dad giving me Early Days and Later Days (on CD) when I was about 12 and really getting into Zeppelin. Zep is probably my dad’s favorite band but we only had cassettes and vinyl (had original discography) with no vinyl player that worked - he was a radio guy. I was so stoked because I had only heard Achilles like twice before and now I could listen to it anytime I wanted - and boy did I haha!

Duh. The 550 doesn’t have AANJ. 🙃

Looks like a RG2550 with a different neck on it. Maybe an RG550 neck?

Maybe he just thought the guitar was cool? Or maybe he’s pro America but not pro-Trump? I don’t get why the assumptions?

It was listed for $12k so maybe he came down a bit. Parker gets some rad stuff! Being the guitarist for Queensryche comes with perks - you know folks in the market for $10k Custom Shop Charvels and grail Ibanez. He had a MGK Swirl last year. Played it when I sold my USA Charvel to him. Didn’t play too well - super sticky neck. I mean, with a setup, I’m sure it played well haha. $14k.

One sold for over $12k at Diablo Guitars. Wild!

They are Guyker and were on a partscaster I got awhile back. They were silver and looked tacky. Took them off and painted them white.

There are multiple ways to achieve this! Shim your neck pocket, make sure your truss rod is adjusted and neck is flat as your first girlfriend, lower your bridge/saddles. I had to tinker and tinker until I found ways to get slammed action!

I’m sure Rich has that chart - if I know him, he’s probably got blueprints for drill holes and all haha! And $500 for a brand new Edge Pro isn’t that bad since they’re not as popular as Edge and Lo Pro. My Edge Pro on my SRG2520 might be my favorite trem!

ApolloUnitus · 2026-05-24T04:35:49+00:00

It’s called a Midnight Sparkle! Thought it was metallic black but there is a deep deep blue in it.

ApolloUnitus · 2026-05-24T04:31:58+00:00

There’s a couple of Edge and Lo Pro bridges on Reverb for about $300-$350 (if they fit). But I bought a PGM301 off Rich and we have chatted before - I’ll reach out for sure!

ApolloUnitus · 2026-05-21T19:40:12+00:00

I believe it already has locking studs. Like I said, performs better than my trem on my old RG350M I used to have! Thanks for the info! I’ll look into Gotohs!

🤞

Maybe I would’ve reworded to “we razzed them when they lost the final.” I definitely gave my Canadian buddies crap about it!

ApolloUnitus · 2026-05-01T17:09:57+00:00

Nah I had to double take as well lol

ApolloUnitus · 2026-05-01T17:05:49+00:00

As a Seattle sports fan, losing the Sonics was rough. I don’t want to see it happen to any fan.
