man, I almost bought a damien FR. they're pretty sweet guitars. then i decided I didn't need a floyd rose.
Used to have the RG5EX1, (then I decided I didn't need a floyd rose) it's a pretty sweet guitar.

I've always felt five times more versatile with a floyd rose, it's just absolutely wonderful for a soloist. At first all I wanted to do was Steve Vai divebombs, but after playing with it for awhile, I've grown accustomed to rich chorus clean chords with floyd rose vibrato, and the lovely slide-attack combo, and of course, the karate chop, and so much more. :3
But every once and a while, I'll play on a guitar without a floyd, and I feel my hand has a lot more free space so I'm a little more chill when I play. But when I reach for that floyd and feel nothing there I kind of die inside. :(
