Just not for me......

So I needed a guitar for practice...again..because it had been about 10 years since I had a guitar last which was an Ibanez. The problem is this, the tremolo bar where the strings sit. Now, back in the day I had an Ibanez and it was really good, I think an RG something, i forget. Anyway, on the model I had, the tremolo bridge was I guess glued down, meaning no whammy bar action, which I prefer bends or a pedal for said effect. Before the Ibanez I had for forever I used mostly les paul style guitars with no tremolo action at all, so restringing was a breeze and you can easily feel the tension in the strings, making it really easy to string and tune and fast too. The problem with the Ibanez is that the tremolo bar keeps the guitar out of tune really bad. I mean hitting the strings for a few chords just detunes it, like lower than Alice In Chains tuning, if you know what I mean. So, when you go to string it, if your not careful, you can pull up the tremolo bridge and over tune the strings and break them very easily. All in all if you like that and the Floyd Rose style bridges then you are in luck but if your like me and like it a little simple, go with a guitar with no tremolo function. P.S. I would like to add, other than tuning and stringing, the guitar is perfect, it is so dang pretty it's rediculas and it sound(ed) nice when I could play it and feels great. The 3 stars is a MY preference kind of thing, there is 100% nothing wrong with this bad *** guitar if you like the features.
