Well then, let's share our lists of guitars with double locking vibrato bridges we own and have owned.
1. Squier Stratocaster "The Veteran"
My long suffering 1989 Squier was the first guitar I had which had a double locking trem, a Kahler Spyder which I put on myself. It worked really good but I eventually pulled it out again in favor of a Wilkinson Trem which works just as well and makes the guitar sound so much better.
2. Ibanez GRG 270
All black but I refinished it baby blue like Frank Gambale's Ibanez. I bought this guitar as a backup for the squier mentioned above. It didn't sound badly and it was my very first guitar with a Floyd Rose-type trem. But that trem began to wear out really quickly causing me to sell it.
3. Ibanez GRG 270
Virtually identical to the one mentioned above. But it sounded terrible and played even worse so I sold it not nearly a week after I got it.
4. Charvel Model 3
As you can tell, this one recieved some modifications. This is a guitar I regret selling, it sounded really good and the Kahler "Killer" was one of the smoothest trems I ever worked with. But poverty got the better of me.
5. Ibanez RG 450 Roadstar2
The first Decent Ibanez I owned. It had the "Ibanez Edge" tremolo which was a revelation after those shitty ones found on the GRG guitars I had prior to that. It also had awesome pickups. Sadly, this one also had to go because of money issues.
6. Self built Strat copy "The Rookie"
A replica of my Squier Strat "The Veteran" it sounds like shit but I still have it.
7. ESP Ltd Horizon
This guitar blew me away, I bought it new and it outplays every Ibanez I ever held in my hands. Making me wonder why Ibanez can't get their guitars in the same price range sound and play as good. It's my secondary guitar with my band. (My PRS is my main one)
