It's the guitar sounding "floyded" that puts me off more than anything else. It probably doesn't matter so much with really heavy gain, but for the kind of stuff I play, it seems to affect the tone of the guitar too much.
Add in all the hassle of changing strings, and I wouldn't go near one with a bargepole.
I like hardtails too, but mainly play fully floating double-locking guitars. So yes, would, and have, three times so far.
As John Suhr says, if you need to be in tune, you need to use a double-locking system. As Jon @FelineGuitars rightly says, it has to be a good one. No point otherwise.
However, I fully understand Scott Henderson, who says he needs to sound good more than he needs to be in tune.
As for me, I need to be able to make elephant noises and pterodactyl screams.
My new guitar is a Wolfgang, you can't pull up so thank you for the recommendations but not an issue for me, and that's fine, I suppose I could set it like I would a Strat trem and have a little upward movement if I wanted but coming from a Gibson-type place I'm in no rush, I'd prefer to maximise the flush connection (as much as possible anyway, it's not possible with these Wolfgangs without surgery) for a while
Somebody mentioned the sound of a floyded guitar. I suggest disconnecting any tone controls, it made a big difference when I did.
If so id love to hear your feedback on it as a unit as guitar-fetish have some listed as "Heavy duty" floyd roses that i read are made for them by ping and there going for about £80 inc shipping
