I don't see why not , I used my friends stratocasters whammy bar on my beasts Floyd rose and it worked just fine, didn't feel right though. The best whammy bars I've had so far are 7 string ones.. longer and easier to use.
Once you lock the nut you can't tune it. That is why a Floyd Rose trem. has fine tuners on it. Are you familiar with Fenders nut with rollers.
Floyd D. Rose invented the Floyd Rose Tremolo at the end of the 70s. This tremolo is famous for its versatille use and possibility to pitch the note up instead of down.
if it doesn't check out the ibanez forums, I was hanging out with one of my friends and she had a strat with no whammy bar so I took the whammy bar off my BC Rich guitar and because it was a different kind (floyd rose) it wouldn't work on her fender stratocaster lookalike. there should be no installation , just put it in I mean the metal is already prepared and a direct replacement, if you can get your money back go for it.
cheapest I've seen for a Floyd rose that's used is 50$ but they average at about 100-200$ depending on how fancy you want it to be.
I had the same problem with my new guitar, so its not one size will fit all is the easiest answer unless its the exact same brand and model. this is funny though my 7 string has a much longer whammy bar I like more, I tried to put it on my normal 6 string BC Rich Beast and it wouldn't fit! but the 6 string whammy bar did. They where both Licensed Floyd rose and everything.

the inventor of the floating tremolo system he named after himself. An amateur guitarist inspired by Richie Blackmore and others who wanted a better kind of whammy, the rest is history.
The tremelo bar on a strat is the Fender whammy bar example,while a tremelo bar on a Guild would be the Bigsby whammy bar.Fender also tried another design using springs housed into the guitar body.
Conceivably you can put a whammy onto any electrice guitar, but it in reality it is a lot of trouble of modification to do so. Answer: You can really only put a whammy bar on a guitar that has a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most Ibanez guitars come with these standard, although some Fender/Squier guitars have a bridge similar to a Floyd Rose, but only whammy bars made by the Fender will fit in the hole. (at least what I've tried) And it is possible to set up a Floyd Rose on any guitar or bass, it just takes a lot of work, and a lot of knowledge because there are some vital parts in a guitar that you might not know what they're there for, so seek some professional help if you are a little uneasy about modifying your instrument.
how old is a Floyd rose
well for a Floyd rose or anything that goes up or down you want to: take the back plate off now unscrew the screws inside of it until they come out take the springs off and it should fall out if its an original Floyd rose or anything like that its worth a bit of cash..50-200$
Floyd Rose was created in 1977.
there are a ton of whammy bars out there and surely at least one will fit. les paul guys I say go with Kahler 2200 stud mounted or stetsbar to bigsby if you want a floyd rose on a guitar it's much , much cheaper to buy a guitar with ir already in it.
