The Lo-TRS, which is sometimes referred to as the Lo TRS, or as the Lo-TRS I (after the Lo-TRS II was released) is a double locking tremolo bridge. It is a variant of the Takeuchi TRS-PRO made for Ibanez by Takeuchi Manufacturing of Japan, itself a design licensed from Floyd Rose. The TRS-PRO is the low-profile version of the Takeuchi TRS-101. It came equipped on several Ibanez electric guitars.
The Lo-TRS is a floating tremolo with die cast saddles and a low profile, like the Original Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro Tremolo System. The bridge is stamped and then hardened using heat treatment. Both the height and tension of the tremolo arm are adjustable.
The Lo-TRS is the same as the TRS-PRO except it has one straight knife edge, like the Gotoh-made Ibanez proprietary systems.[1] The Lo-TRS II is a less expensive version of the Lo-TRS, not made in Japan, that was used in guitars made in Korea.
