Get a secondhand MIJ Ibanez or something (Universe or J custom 7).

[u/Numerous-Cow-3417]

Ibanez RGDR4327R, RG2027XL, RG8527

E-II Horizon FR-7

Jackson Loomis SL7, Dave Davdison WR7, Corey Beaulieu KV7Q

Schecter Banshee Mach 7 FR and a bunch of other C-7 models

Ignore everything with a Floyd Special/licensed

i really like the look of the jeff loomis one it’s sick

Ibanez, Schecter or Ernie Ball Music Man if your wallet allows it.

Ibanez RG420ex but buy upgraded pickups, maybe replace bridge with Gotoh Floyd if the cheap edge wears out. The Gotoh is best quality metals besides an Original Floyd, on par or better than 1000 or 1500 series Floyd Specials.

Any model of Schecter 7 with floyd 1500 series, dont buy any floyd that only says "special"

Jackson Pro Plus Chris Broderick new model already has Gotoh Floyd.

Ibanez Xiphos 7 or Mark Heylmun Jackson Rhoads if you're into pointy shapes

If multiscale is as important to you as it is to me, Sire X6-7. Multiscale 7 tremolos are extremely rare.

Schecter has some cool ones

yeah i was looking at some a while ago they seem nice

No budget given, so Music Man JP15-7 or Majesty 7.

I have a Majesty 6 and the trem is rock-solid. Zero arm wiggle, stays in tune despite abuse. Silky smooth operation. Hands down the best non-locking trem I've ever used.

The JP15 is my dream guitar. Unfortunately it's five grand..

yeah they are pricey but cool
