A few years ago i would've loved that. No floyd though.

I don't think it needs a Floyd Rose, or even a Kahler. I was going to block it or use one of these...

You can find old Kahler's cheap as well, but I would just one this for a simple bedroom rocker

Robroe posted this up the other week. I like the look but would have to play one to see what the quality is like.

Probably get one for â‚¬156.00. I think it should be marketed as "just a guitar". Maybe I lack creativity but I can't think of any upgrades I give it, other than some midi pickup wankery. I really can't explain why I like this axe... I never liked thrash metal...

A bit overpriced? And they put a tiny little sustain block on it for $132?

Get the Wilkinson 5+1 Contemporary Bridge instead.

It does all the things the Full Contact says it does, has a steel block, and it's cheaper, too.
