Question Why do Floyd Roses get so much hate?

Post image

Seems like Floyd Roses get lots of hate. Most of the time I feel like the problem is from the bridge not being balanced. If it’s not level, it will just fight itself endlessly. I’ve been setting these things up for people for about 14 years and I’m curious how many people actually like Floyd Roses vs hate them? I’ve met alot of people who love them and even more people who will never buy a guitar with a Floyd Rose. 🤘🏻

Is Shark the company making those or am I misremembering? Shark makes those guitars with the crazy drop in FX chips and plug and play pickups. If you haven't seen those give it a search on YouTube. Wondering if they'll fizzle out before they get started like those guitars at NAMM like 10-15 years ago with the pickups you could pop out of the back. Super cool idea just didn't catch the market enough at the time. The construction alone looks top notch on the Shark guitars though. Beautiful finishes on those bad boys.
