If your budget is low (sub $500), Agile has an LP copy with a licensed Floyd on it. That may suit your purposes. If you have no budget, you could try a Neal Schon LP. Or, you could split the difference and build a custom job, or (as someone suggested) get a Floyd-equipped guitar and replace the neck. Does scale length matter at all? Are you wanting a 24.75" (LP) scale or 25.5" scale?

Originally posted by gsHarmony I do a lot of orchestral composition, and man are there a bunch of jackasses out there. If you don't write a piece that is polytonal and impossible to analyze harmonically, they will claim that it has been done before or that you are ripping off some other composer whose melody happened to start with the same three notes. They practically teach you how to be that way if you go to school for composition. If your compositions aren't mathematically interesting and manage to keep the "average listener" interested upon first hearing, you may as well throw 'em into the fire.
