Hmmm... I'll have to check on the trem reviews.
I already have two Charvel So Cals, so I kinda wanted to mix it up a bit (and spend less).
Really?
I have an Edge III(?) trem on my 7 string....it's good, really good. I also installed a Tremol-No system which is pretty killer. I routed a rectangular opening in the trem cover so you can switch settings on the fly.Hmmm... I'll have to check on the trem reviews.
I had an original Edge trem installed on an MIJ Squier superstrat in the late '80s. It was phenomenal. Not sure about the Ibby necks, though--I don't like the wide, flat thing.
Also, my next guitar HAS to be green. Another possibility: Slime Green Charvel San Dimas (more $$ though).

I've got a couple Floyd Rose Specials and I have no complaints about them. I've also got a few real Floyd Roses, a Gotoh 1996T, and the stock trem on my Peavey Wolfgang. They all hold up nicely.
A couple of months ago I was considering doing a Charvel style build. When I was trying to price out a Floyd I ran across some negative reviews. I suppose no matter what the product there are always both positive and negative reviews. They are considerably cheaper than an original.
The only real difference is that the saddles are made of zinc rather than steel, so the tone's a bit different. I have one of these on my Ernie Ball Sterling SUB AX4 with an aftermarket brass block and the thing sustains forever and takes a beating.
I thought about those, but I'm not a fan of the headstock or the inlays. Plus, I gotta have a maple board.If it's primarily for backup, and price is a consideration, have you looked at the Schecter Banshees?
