Professional Soloist or Charvel Model 6?

I personally wouldn't worry about the behind-the-nut lock. I actually prefer them to the Floyd nuts anyway.

+1. Why? I just do!

There is another important difference to consider: Recessed vs. non-recessed trems.

Why do you like the non-recessed better, JJ? Because of the angled neck or the higher position of the bridge? Just curious, man.

Kidding aside, I think it's mostly the bridge height. With a taller bridge, my hand ends up in a nicer playing position when the guitar is strapped on. This might just be a psychological difference, but sometimes I feel like a recessed bridge makes for a less than stellar angle for my wrist.

Plus, I think it makes sense that Floyds and fixed bridges should have the same height off the body to minimize the difference in playing posture.
