Re: looking for a guitar with a floyd.....

how about an imported B.C Rich? They have floyds on the Platinum pro and NJ Series and are pretty much nothing Like Strat or LP.But here's the question what you consider a lot of money. But if the pups don't matter they are pretty cool if you aks me.

I personally like ESP's. They have a few different styles out there now with Floyds... Another good choice would be BC Rich. I think they even offer the new FR Speedloader system on several different guitars... Very cool...

I wouldn't otherwise post this here, but since you ask, I have a floyd-equiped guitar for sale on eBay:

Set a budget first lol


I really think (if your budget is low) you should look S/H. You'd be more likely to afford a guitar with a much better trem system that way... The cheaper floyds are nowhere near as good as the real thing

TRU DAT!! I've never found liscenced Floyds other than the Schaller units to be satisfactory. For me, if it doesn't have an OFR, a Schaller, or an Ibanez Edge I don't bother with it.

Just to be curious what IS your budget. Your definition of "not a lot of money" may be way different than someone else's.

Foreign build Richs would be my suggestion.

You can get an American made Peavey Wolfgang special on Ebay for less than $500. If that's too expensive, you might want to find a cheap Strat with a Floyd.

A cheaper floyd ax, I would say a Charvel traditional or a pro. They are made in Japan and very good guitars. You may be able to get one used for $300-$350. They came factory with Duncans also.
