Well guys after lots of playing and careful consideration I took the plunge and bought that Applause GTX 33 Sustaniac guitar that I was asking around about. For $200 it plays really nice here's some pix.
I took the plunge and bought it.

Re: I took the plunge and bought it.
Congrats, actually doesn´t look half bad (TBH i love the idea of the paintjob just not the pink). Is this the same guitar we were talking about a few weeks ago that we all expected a cheap single locking trem on? Because what´s on there is a double locking Schaller copy that can be replaced with an original with zero issues...
You may well have yourself a perfect platform for a few upgrades there...

Zerberus,
Lol! Thanks man, I was actually hoping you would be one of the ones to see the guitar and give your input. Yeah this is the same guitar I was talking about a few weeks ago. I dont know about the paint job though, I bought it with the intentions of, rewiring it, upgrading the pups to some SD's in the bridge and middle pos, and stripping it and refinishing it in either swirl blue metallic or somewhere along the lines of the snakeskin design in the link below.

O verall though I'm really happy and just like you stated about the flyod I was also thinking about putting a real flyod or Schaller's version on this guitar. Any advice or input you have Zerberus I would really appreciate it.

OFR or Gotoh won´t fit properly, it´s Schaller or nothing in this case. Unless you want to fill the whole cavity and re-rerout for an OFR.
LOL, the ones in the link have EXACTLY the POS Floyd we were trying to warn you about.... but they´re also a different model.
