Try a vintage whammy and you'll love a Floyd Rose, my Kramer has a Vintage and that never stays in tune. When I do a divebomb on a solo I have to start guessing where it detuned itself to. I kinda like have a whammy bar since I solo a lot, some of the newer generation Floyd roses have tune settings that you can use so you can do drop D and so forth. I agree 100% its a pain in the rear, but after years of using a vintage I'd much rather have a Floyd Rose.
This is the body I want:
This is the neck:
I wanna paint it a bright yellow.
