Hi, Im after a guitar with a whammy bar. I like the mochingbird and the peavey wolf gang. You can get them cheap on ebay but i was wondering if you guys would suggest any other makes to look at first? I want a BC rich, a yellow, just a fun guitar, a break from Les Pauls!

take a look at the cheaper jacksons. i have a DXMG it's a decent guitar altough i would change the pickups
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

I love the Fender Strat's whammy. Its a classic. Depending on the money you are willing to spend, the best bet would be with an American Strat.

There are many Strat's that come with the Floyd Rose, and you can install a block as well.

I'm partial to floating tremolos, but the thing is, with the Wolfgange, its a Floyed Rose, but the whammy bar only goes one way, if thats a problem anyway, it probably isn't.

I have a Paul Read Smith Standard 24 with a floating whammy bar and I recommend it. It has a very strong sound.

Yesterday I tried another guitar, a Jackson of the cheaper kind, it was also good, maybe as good as the PRS when it comes to the playing itself, but I think the sound wasn't the same. Anyway, a great guitar that one too though it was way cheaper.
