Extreme whammy abuse - Ibanez ZR tremolo

Recorded to demonstrate an example of good tremolo return. Tuned beforehand using a POD X3 Live to exact pitch. Extreme whammy abuse, lifting the guitar by the bar! And afterwards? Still perfectly in tune. The High E sounds a little out afterwards in the clips but when I checked it on the tuner after I was still in perfect tune. I'm assuming its because these strings are getting a little old.

I really love this guitar. HOWEVER!! I have a deep maniacal HATRED of tremolo systems because everyone I've ever owned has been such a P.I.T.A to keep tuned. How much fine adjusting did you have to endure to get it to where you could abuse it like this?

@morgolvale None. I now own 2 ZR equipped guitars and I've had no issues with tuning, right from stock. I still replace the bar holders, and I take out the ZPS in the back. Other than that, all I change is I put rolled up paper in the springs to stop them vibrating.

@southbaydog12 It amazes me how so many of you people can go "Omfg, I just wasted my precious little time watching what the title advertised. I want my time back, even though I voluntarily clicked and watched it til the end."

Does this tremolo have a plug in bar? And if so, how do you get it to stay so tight? Thanks! Great vid :)
