I just hate that like 90% of guitars have them. I don't like them, so whenever I'm looking for a new guitar most of the ones I like are immedietly disqualified becuse of it.
For example, I've been wanting to get a BC Rich V for several months now, but they all have a floyd. The NT JRV ICON would be perfect for me, if it didn't have that god damn floyd.

Floyd roses fuuuuucking rule!
It is just a matter of adjusting and balancing the screws and the springs correctly.
I had to sell an amazing washburn last year cause it was fixed bridge... and I couldn't get used to palm mutes.
One of my guitars has a Tremol-N. Installation was hard as hell, but once it is working it is awesome. I can play in D and dropped D without having to retune all strings.
I have it as a hard tail.

d'addario changed the material of the ball to some shit that flexes and shrinks.. we have had huge tuning stability problems with them lately in the shop.
Try Infields, so far they have been great for us.
Ive not heard of that brand before, I assume i can grab them online somewhere ?

I'm a DRUMMER>guitarist. I love a floating bridge, bu itt just takes so much more patience to dial in. I think the payoff (far more than a divebomb) is worth it. Luckily, I know other guitarist with free time who respect the barter system

Watch out, it's sharp!

Wut!?
Since when?
Didn't buy new packs for a while (still got a enough lying around), and so far didn't notice anything with the ones I have.
Needless to say, that would suck royally.
As for the original topic, I currently own eight guitars with fixed bridges and one with a floyd. Put four springs in it, and after spending some time on setup it's just fine.

I have been using D'Addario 9 - 42 / 10-46 / 11 - 49 and their 7 string versions for 20 years and I have never had any tuning instability whether it be my Les Paul or my Ibanez with a floating trem. They are just fine here in the states.

Just a couple of months ago or so.. i used to have D'addario's on all of my guitars, but ive changed from that to using Rotosound as a decent cheap string, Thomastik-Infield as a normal priced good string and DR Tite Fit as the expensive but great string.

I had one on an ibanez quite a few years ago now, and I will never own another one.
I just tracked a guitarist who had one, and used it A LOT. I fucking hated it. It was setup fine, but it still didn't want to stay in tune for more than a few takes.

To me, floating tremolos are just part of lead guitar playing. Most of my favorite players make use of them. No, you don't need one to be an awesome guitarist... but I think it's that much more awesome when great players can use the trem for cool dives/dips/flutters/vibrato to spice up their phrasing and make solos more interesting sounding. I'm sure Lasse & James would agree...

Speaking of which...
I fucking hate that my thread got thrown in the fire when all it was meant to be was a discussion of new apple product. That and my opinion that Jobs looks like a tool when he presents stuff.
But no, that had to go mac v. pc and instead of just deleting the stupid out of the thread it gets nuked. I don't even bother posting a thread about the new iphone update, because that will probably turn into a shitty droid vs apple thread and again get nuked.
Why anyone has to have a sandy cunt over such a thing is stupid.
There is nothing to talk about if there can't be discussion where people are not going to agree, and while it does suck that it kept happening. It was happening at a frequency that warranted more than a tampon change and "get the fuck over it."

Eventually. He did put them on a couple days before he came in (fine with me on a system like that).
