The Floyd Rose doesn't have to be good, I can replace it. Just looking for a good Super Strat with a floyd rose. The ESP LTD MH-100 QM is perfect, including the finish, but I'm looking for more opinions before I buy. Also need a D profile neck or smaller

Look at Ibanez models

#

And potentially Harley Benton

@left prawn Just to be clear, JEMJR's are normal scale length, correct? The JR is just referring to the model, rather than size?

Handle, trem claw, neck vine

#

RG350DX looks way less cool but admittedly sounds the same

#

it’s got the exact same parts

#

What do you think of the 320DXQM?

#

That's very reasonably in my price range and looks perfect

#

That’s an oldie

#

Pretty great

#

Make sure it’s a 2002- model

#

The sweet spot is 2004-5

#

They switched the powersound pickups to infinity pickups and the edge pro II bridge to the edge III bridge

#

just an overall improvement in quality

just know that ur options for GOOD floyd roses on guitars under 500 is extremely slim

#

what id do? buy a 400 dollar guitar with a floyd rose or edge trem

#

then replave it with a 100 ish dollar gotoh 1996

Edge trems are the shit😅

#

Edge trems are great

#

what was it

#

edge ii?

#

i know some of the lower tier edges are not that great

#

mainly due to material choice i assume

#

Oh yeah any “edge xx” go ahead and replace it with a 1996

#

but replacing an original edge is nuts

#

By far the best tremolo on any guitar and it’s not even close

oak mango
#

but yeah i agree, original edge shakes the ground

#

Still not sure why Ibanez doesn’t sell them on their own

#

They’d make a fucking mint

#

even their gibraltar bridges are pretty nise
