Ibanez EDGE III's are out of the question, watch out for anything and by anything, I mean NO EXCEPTIONS Ibanez that isn't a Lo-Pro Edge, Original Edge, Edge Pro, or Edge Zero, the ZR Tremolo is also very good. Jackson JT580's and 590's are also pretty nice, the 590 in particular is made by Schaller who used to make the Original Floyd Rose. The JT580's come in mid-range Jacksons and even on some of the higher end ones that aren't U.S.A made. Umm...so here's a rule of thumb, unless its a Prestige Ibanez or a mid-range Jackson, a USA Ernie Ball or anything of more than 500 USD, its pretty much putty and tin foil.

EDIT: by the way, what's your budget, playing style and amp?

I'd get a new amp if I were you, I personally dont like Line 6's anymore as I prefer tube amps, for that type of music you wont really need a Floyd Rose, maybe a decent Strat style bridge for light vibrato would be good.

Unless its Tube or a used Valvestate 8100, mind you 8100, not anything else (This is what Chuck Schuldiner of Death used) then Marshalls are crap.

Well the Marshall tone is defined with the JCM series, which is what every classic rock guitar player uses, the solid state Marshalls don't really have that, its been defined that they have a "bees in a box" type sound, idk man, try it, maybe you'll like it, but I will still stand for tube Marshalls and tube amps in general.

Any Skid Row fans here? I've been practicing I Remember You in and out for the last couple of months, and it's a fun song to play.

Eric · « **Reply #222 on:** October 22, 2008, 08:28:59 PM »

I like Get The Fuck Out and Slave To The Grind, but thats about it, I love those songs haha.

Slave to the Grind is an awesome album period.
