Guitar buying help

[Alec Lewis]

I was wanting to get a guitar with a tremolo bar already attached and I was wondering if anybody knew a good priced guitar. Or do you think it would be cheaper to get a Ibanez bridge with tremolo attachment installed on my guitar. (My guitar is an Ibanez) I would prefer this as I really like my guitar but I was wondering about how much would it cost for either a Floyd rose or I think Ibanez does there own stock bridge similar to a rose bridge.

What’s your optimal price? I think most Ibanez guitars come now with their Edge tremolo, which functionally is basically a Floyd Rose. Here’s a few you might like:

–The S series is very comfortable and this one would have a wide array of tones. This one does not have a Floyd style whammy, so tuning might not be as stable and you can’t ascend your note.
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RG470MBAFM–ibanez-rg-series-rg470mb-autumn-fade-metallic
–This is a comparable model to the last, except this one has a floating tremolo (Floyd style).
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JEMJRWH–ibanez-jemjr-steve-vai-white
–This one’s a bit more expensive, but a very solid guitar.
I tried to stick with Ibanez since you said you like Ibanez. Installing a Floyd on a guitar not built for one is very tricky and involves a lot of drilling. I wouldn’t recommend it.

There are so many guitars with a floyd royd bridge from almost all the brands. Which guitar your buyin does really depend on your budget. The only thing I can say is don’t buy a really cheap one because that’s usually a bad floyd rose system(easily out of tune etc.)
As for Ibanez. Yes ibanez also does floyd rose style bridges amd they are pretty good. Does your guitar already have a locking nut. If not it’s probably better to get a new guitar if you do then you already kinda have a floyd rose system installed

Ok thanks for the help I’ll most likely be looking at getting a whole new guitar then so Hanks for the links.

Honestly? Just walk into the store and play some guitars until you find one you love. It honestly shouldn’t take long cause you usually have a good eye.
