I just put a GE1996T on my Ibanez RG470MSP, which had the Ibanez DL model Floyd copy on it from the factory. The Gotoh is FAR superior, and was a drop-in fit. I did keep the Ibanez bridge posts because the threads on the Gotoh were more coarse so I would have had to change the post ferrules, too, and I didn't feel like pulling the stock ones out of the body. I also changed out the string lock bolts from the Ibanez onto the Gotoh, as the RG470MSP has a recessed bridge, and the Gotoh bolts are a bit longer and would have hit the body where it's recessed behind the bridge. The Ibanez bolts had the same thread, though, so they were a perfect fit. Simple swap out, HUGE difference in tone and tuning stability.
I did this same thing to a Blue RG 270, I left everything stock besides Milling the Brass block so the Back plate would fit without any interference etc. The posts are an issue trying to convert the gotoh ones to the Ibanez Body as there isn't enough wood thickness and depth, and not worth the trouble and time involved. If the old posts are wobbly, or crooked, simply glue and position them as needed to stabilize and align etc. Im not a big Ibanez Player, but with that being said, the guitar I did was completely a Monster, both the Tone, and Tuning Stability after the upgrade was a night and day difference! If you can find one of these for a reasonable deal, this Gotoh upgrade is well worth doing IMHO. Thanks for the great video, and info!!!!
It looks great with golden metal on black. You might want to tighten the whammy bar a little , so you have it ready right next to your hand. It takes a little more time to grap it down below like here.
Saya juga pakai rg270 sejak 1999/2000 , saya upgrade pakai dimarzio evolution bridge dan neck, tremolo diganti ke floyd rose warna chrome. So far sangat mantab.
Good for you bro. Yg middle pickup masih pake standard pabrik kah? Neck RG270 ini memang ga selebar neck wizard, tapi justru karena itu feelnya jadi special di tangan. Anyway thanks sudah mampir di chaanel saya & jangan lupa subscribe. Cheers bro.
Hey, Thanks for the Video! Have you switched the locking nut just to match the golden color? or would a gotoh 1996 otherwisely not work with the old edge III locking nut? Thanks!
Yes I switched it just to match. The old locking nut is just fine with the new gotoh since it's the same dimension. Thank you for visiting my channel & don't forget to subscribe. I will very appreciate it.
Lebih baik pake Edge II karena Ibanez keluaran sekarang ga ada yg pake Edge III lagi. So Edge II akan lebih gampang cari sparepart nya suatu saat kalau kamu perlu ganti.
Setau saya akan ada sedikit/banyak penyesuaian. Tapi coba ukur dulu ronnga coakan yg ada di gitarmu. terus masuk ke website dari tremolo yang kamu inginkan. Umumnya mereka punya datasheet dimensi buat setiap model yang mereka jual (jarak tremolo stud, ukuran panjan & lebar body tremolo, ukuran tremolo block, dsb). Di kasus saya cover spring tremolo di body belakang ga bisa dipasang karena tremolo block nya terlalu gede. Tapi ga masalah.
you need to do proper measurement first on your lo-trs II. go to Gotoh official website to know the dimension of 1996t and compared it with your measurement on your lo-trs II. You may need some body-work if 1996t is too big, but the most crucial part is the distance between the existing trem stud. In my case it happen to be exactly the same, but its still need some little body work since 199t is a bit bigger than the stock one.
Did you swap out an Edge III? Also, it looks like at the end the video, you did have the gold mounting studs on there. Did you end up changing them out as well? Thanks \m/
Yes, and yes. The main reason is the block already crack and the whammy bar hole is destroyed. I still can use the existing studs but I decide to change it too. I take it to luthier since I dont have the tool to install the stud. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel please. I will really appreciate it. Thanks.
I did the same on my RG270b MIJ with Takeuchi TRS- 505 bridge, but it is better to change the pivots and keep in mind that the gotoh nut and bridge are 14mm. radius while the RG fingerboard is 15.75mm.....it is better to leave the original nut, cheers.
it's 40mm. And its too long so the back plate cover can't be install. I should take the 36mm instead of this 40mm for my RG270. Anyway, thanks to visit my channel & please subscribe.
Thats not a stiker. Thats a pinky ware from my old bad habit. I've been playing this guitar so much until the body paint on that location is always scratched out with my pinky.
@@notweltraz279 saya ga punya alat ukur radiusnya. coba masuk ke website resminya gotoh. biasanya disana ada spec nya komplit untuk tipe 1996T ini. Kalau buat kasus saya di RG270 untuk nutnnya tiggnal pasang aja. Ga ada rombakan or modifikasi sama sekali. Goodluck & jgn lupa sunscribe channel saya.

Punya saya original bridge nya model ILT, terus di upgrade ke Edge 3 & harus dipangkas sedikit di bridge cavity nya. Dari sini terus upgrade ke Gotoh & justru harus ditambal di cavity nya karena selongsong bridge-post punya Gotoh lebih gede dari original Edge 3. Kalau repot ngerjain sendiri tinggal dibawa aja ke luthier gitar yg yahud. Soal additional spacer di locking nut saya ga pake sama sekali, tapi itu tergantung selera karena hanya akan ngefek ke action hight. Thanks dah mampir ke channel saya & jangan lupa subscribe.

Hello Boss saya mau tanya tremolo gotoh ini kalau selalu di main tremolo nya dia punya Tiunni tak lari ke?
hallo too. tremolo ini tuning nya cukup stabil meski sering dimainkan secara extreme
Bang tremolo ILt1 kalo diganti cocoknya dengan floydrose apa ya? Yg tinggal plug n play

sama yg di locking nutnya apakah ada yg di pake plate tipisnya?
setelah dipake sekian lama apakah ada keluhan bang?
