The locking nut does keep it in tune for ages if you don't use the tremolo. Changing strings is a huge PITA on a floating trem tho... I don't know which necks are on the guitars you're looking at , but go for the 5 pc wizard instead of the 3 piece. I just got my 3pc neck in my s470 back from the luthier for set up/pups installed and it felt like playing on a LP or strat or something after only playing on the 5 pc neck. The RG550 XX (20th reissue) is what I've got, and I highly recommend it (plus comes with a case, technically it's a "prestige" guitar as well) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Fine, then call it a Whammy bar! I agree with Pavel, I typically only look for guitars with a FR variant. I have one fixed bridge simply for alternate tunings since those are painful with tremolos.
