    But way to much money for me.
    I found this one..this might be the one:

    Some inexpensive guitars can be good. I bought some Epiphones that sound and play good but the switches and pots were always cheap and needed to be replaced. What's nice about a Floyd Rose licensed trem is it always can be replaced with the real thing later. Some of the cheaper ones are made from soft metal and that leads to problems later on.
    No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

          A cheap licensed Floyd Rose isn't going to fall apart immediately. What usually happens is the pivot edges wear, the fine tuners strip out, or the bridge saddles wear quicker. You will have at least one refret job by the time the trem starts going to pot.

          Tuners, bridges, electronics are all things you can replace and upgrade yourself. Really what you want to buy is a good piece of wood. If it sounds good unplugged you can always make it sound good through an amp but if it sound like shit unplugged, nothing can be done. You can't polish a turd by changing the pickups.

              Have you looked into used USA Wolfgang specials? I picked up a beautiful used Goldtop about a year ago for 675 USD with shipping included. It sounds fantastic, is always in tune and the bridge is rock solid...

                The shit thing is ebay usa has much more to offer but alot don't ship worldwide.
                The schecter I want is 750 dollars in the netherlands and on a USA webstore it's only 400.
                Only ships free in USA.Some brands are not even aloud to ship to Europe from USA.
                Sounds like you got a great deal!

                            I can't try out these guitars cause I'm gonna buy it online.
                            But I'm thinking of the Schecter ocean blue or this ESP.
                            Both pretty much the same price.
                            I like the ESP.
                            What would you suggest?

                              That's a Gotoh bridge on the ESP. Peavey used those on the EVH Wolfgang guitars. I have one on mine and it's held up. Not as good of quality as a real German made Floyd Rose but it gets the job done. ESP has been around. They used to make the necks for Kramer in the 80's.

                                Must say I think the blue ocean is the one.
                                Check the metal on the esp..it's not an even colour.
                                But is ESP better than schecter??Can somebody compare the wood etc.
                                What would be the best between the two??
