Agreed, but have fun setting it up again every time you change strings.

Doesn't affect it unless you change string gauge. Talking about string change hell, have you ever tried changing strings on a Bigsby equipped guitar?

You people have obviously never owned a Floyd Rose-equipped guitar..

*waits for someone who used to own a Steinberger with the TransTrem system to come around and pwn me*

Yeah I am a Floyd Rose fan when it comes to trem bridges. I feel like the PRS trem is the next best thing, but there's no other trem system that lets you do horrible, horrible things to your guitar like a Floyd. It has to be a well-made version though, preferably an actual Floyd Rose and not a "licensed" version- although I've heard good things about Ibanez's newer FR-style bridges.

I'm considering getting an Ibanez 7-string* sometime soon (probably the RG Prestige model) so I guess we'll see.

*I have a thing for owning guitars that used to be "cool" but are currently considered way gauche- I had a Jackson soloist back before all the new-generation metal bands re-popularized the brand. I feel like Ibanez, particularly their 7-strings, are post-hype (and more importantly post-shitty-bands-that-endorse-them) so they're probably a good buy nowadays.

Also that new 8-string guitar they're making is RIDICULOUS. You gotta admire any company willing to put THAT friggin' thing on the market.

†See also PRS guitars right now- I STILL LOVE MY MCCARTY AND I DON'T CARE IF NICKELBACK PLAYS THEM TOO GODDAMNIT

valley_parade:
See, part of the reason I kinda want a PRS is because Chris from the Larry Arms used to play an SE EG, and I liked how they sounded Ghost Stories-ish.
