My advice would be to go to a music store and try guitars before you buy one. A quality built instrument is a sound investment. I'd much rather have one good guitar than 2 or more crappy ones. Things like floating bridges have to be well made and setup properly, otherwise not only with they not work, they'll actually hamper the entire guitar's playability. There's always deals out there, $350-$600 will buy you a nice guitar from a reputable brand.

Hi Ken... I just took a quick look around on "GuitarFetish"... I'd say what you are most likely dealing with there are made in China cheap knock offs. I could be totally wrong, but there are loads of made in China guitars on-line these days, and this sight looks like a vendor. From what I've seen in reviews, these guitars are all about looking like a nice guitar, when in fact, they're pretty much junk. The wood will be super cheap, in some cases plywood, and the metal parts will be poorly made. The guitar may not even be playable when you get it due to excessive fret buzz.
