No, I'm not saying that. With any floating tremelo system that relies on tension, anytime you change gauges or tunings, the trem system has to be adjusted.

The licensed Floyd Rose's aren't made as well and don't hold tune as well. A Floyd is fine if you plan on playing in one tuning. I play standard E almost always and if I need a different tuning, I change guitars.

They are a lot of hassle if you constantly change tunings, but I rarely play music that I need alternate tunings for, so it suits my style perfectly.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.
