Heres my silly situation,
I love guitar solos with some whammy wankage as long as its done moderately and tastefully. I dont like KKing type excessive wankage.
I like the idea of recording using floyd guitars for solos as i can do dive bombs and dimebag squeals and all that cool stuff. For instance, on my single that we recorded in the studio that we are releasing in a week, I recorded the whole song and solo with a guitar with a fixed bridge......but i thought adding in a dive bomb and squeal at the very end of the solo would make it sound killer. So i used my floyd equipped guitar to do just that part and it sounds killer!
However, I also dont really like floyd equipped guitars as i find them not too comfy for my picking hand when compared to a fixed bridge. And i dont enjoy maintaining and setups....socim not really a "floyd guy" per se.
My question is, (and I know, I can do whatever I want to do) but, is it silly or lame to record a solo using a floyd guitar but then when playing live to just use a guitar with a fixed bridge? Or is it that, once i record solos with a floyd equipped guitar, now I HAVE to play one live? ( i am thinking about getting another floyd equipped guitar since ive just sold that one, but not necessarily becauae I feel that i have to, but its good to have one on hand.)
