You might want to swap the trem for a Gotoh GE1996T though
Generic/licensed/branded FRs don't exactly have a good track record

Thats one thing I heard from the guy at the store
He said they easily break the strings

I'm talking tuning stability n shit

Ohhh
obsidian plinth
Cheaper materials, ect
The Gotoh will drop in though
Play it in person if you can

Make sure you like the neck first

I really like it but I wanna play it a little more first
Just wanna find out any flaws about it that I can't tell myself first before I get it set as what I want
Thanks for your help man

I would strongly caution against buying and then swapping the trem. It's almost always more efficient to just spend the money you would have spent on the trem up front to get a better model. Ibanez can buy parts far more efficiently than you can
In this case to install that Gotoh youd actually be paying more than you would for an MiJ RG with an Edge bridge

Maybe the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 fr s, because it has a neck thru joint, and a floyd rose
schecter is a great brand
but my reccomendation is to get a really good hardtail guitar and then get a virtual jeff whammy bar
