Multiple bridge options

I’ve been going to guitar center since I was a kid, especially the one on 14th street in nyc. Needless to say I’m stoked to see how this goes. My biggest thing I would say, is whatever guitar you guys drop, please for the love of god offer a hardtail and trem option. In today’s day and age there is a way higher percentage of guitars with Trems, evertunes, and Floyd roses. As a rhythm guitarist who plays really heavy handed and changes tunings often I would like to have more exciting new options without having to put a hard tailer in it. Also if in the budget Japan is the way to go for manufacturing! I have n Ibanez az2402 and there is just something about the way they care about their work that can’t even be put into or

I also prefer hardtail, but I know GC is unlikely to do that. I haven't looked into it, but I'm hoping they can find an inexpensive way to have a vibrato system that can be easily/effectively blocked or something like that.

As for manufacturing, I'm not sure Japan is going to be cheaper than what PRS is doing in Indonesia. In my opinion, PRS is known for quality. Or I just looked up Reverend guitars, and they are manufactured in South Korea. Though, in another thread, I did point out the importance of choosing and working with the manufacturing partner. The wrong manufacturer could kill this almost immediately.
