Damaged tremolo arm hole in Edge 3 bridge...
just got a new Ibanez that has an Edge 3 trem in it.
The difficulty I'm having is that there appears to be a piece of plastic that goes around the circumference of the hole where the arm is inserted into the bridge, and it seems to have cracked. Is this something I should be worried about? Can I just pull the offending parts out and use it as normal?
I'm not really much of a whammy user (Most of my guitars have been hardtail), so I suppose I could just put some big springs in the thing and treat it like a fixed bridge...

If your not too fussed about the trem you could always fit a Tremel-No to stabilise the bridge.
You could try wrapping the trem arm in plumbers PTFE tape, I use this trick on strat trems and it keeps the arm nice & firm whilst still allowing some movement
Ummm...is it really new? Or is it just new to you? Couldn't you return it to where you bought it? A new instrument shouldn't have broken parts. Unless there's something unique that you love about your new axe (And believe me, I understand that - my Ibanez addiction is quite strong!), you would be more than justified in swapping it out for one that's just right.
Flaws in a used instrument are character.
Flaws you cause in a new instrument are history.
Flaws in a brand-new instrument are wrong.
