I am looking for a Epiphone style guitar with a Tremelo Bridge, I know some people might tell me to buy a guitar of a different brand, but I am painfully picky with what guitars I like. I would prefer something with the slimtaper neck, a lighter weight, and 24.75 scale length.

There are some Epiphones & ESPs with Floyd Rose vibrato systems, but they pretty expensive machines. Nothing like the $5K of a Gibson model, but still not cheap.

There are also some with older style systems.

And there are also a few cheaper Fender models with short scale lengths & bars.

Ebay, Reverb & local music store used stock might be looking at! Hope that helps!

I have a Epiphone custom and love playing it. I even play it more than my PRS & American Strat. They make some good quality guitars.

Have you considered just adding a tremelo onto an existing guitar? It looks easy. Here is a link to a youtube video.

Good luck
