Essentially... its just a Floyd Rose. But if you want the specific model I would say check around on Ebay or try to find the part number for it and order it directly through Ibanez.

Actually, Vai's trem system is an Edge Pro. I have one on my Jem;-) Floyd Rose are good but not as good as the Edge Pro due to the cut away and extra low setting. The cut away that the Edge Pro sits into is a lot deeper than that of the standard Floyd Rose which allows more movement back and forth. Hope that helps.

Thanks for that clarification... I was aware of that... but I may have caused some confusion.

What I meant was... By design, the Edge Pro (along with all Ibanez floating trems) are Floyd Roses with little differences. They follow the same concepts and operate in the same way... If someone were interested in purchasing an Ibanez Edge Pro they could get similar performance out of a Floyd Rose of any make for much less than retail price of an Ibanez Edge Pro... Its just an alternative.

Like I said though, check Ebay often and maybe something will come up. Once again, Thanks for the clarification Superhuman!
