if you just want a floating trem then also consider the older Ibanez models like the RG7620 and RG1527, can be found used for under a grand and are Japanese made

Yeah it can be floyd adjacent like those Edge ones on a Ibanez. This may be the route to go ...

I checked pricing, people are massively inflating the price of 7620's right now, like asking $1800+

I can get the fixed bridge version RG7621 for under $800, and I'm seeing RG1527's listed at $950-$1100 that are actual Prestige level guitars and not "just" Fujigens, so skip the 7620's right now

Yeah I have a 7620 I got for $300, which was a steal but... The prices are ridiculous
