I used to have a Licensed from the late 80's and currently have 1 and an Edge Pro and all 3 I never had a problem with.

LJR is right. If you don't know what your doing just have someone who knows show you. After that you'll be fine. I've never had a problem with the floyd rose.

Alright, here's a question;

I was told by a well repected luthier it's better to tune the strings 12345654321 then 123456-123456 with a Floyd.
Specially when new... make sense to you guys? :confused:

That's silly. Although a lot of people will tune in every other string increments until they're tuned up. I just tune on string at a time, EADGBE (or whatever) and it gets closer each time till it's spot on. I think it's really up to you. If you're good or comfortable with a floyd then it shouldn't matter.

Depends on how much the licensed Floyd costs...

I would think the ESP Sinclair Floyd trem would be a good one...
