I've not really noticed anything on those fronts from a practical perspective that bothered me enough to think that I was missing out using floydy guitars. P'raps I'm insensitive, but when I first got my red Cali elite, and stuck a pickup in the bridge, the eye opener in how great it sounded versus a very good 1990ish LP std, and a Gordon Smith GS1' was so marked that I sold the LP. I'm a hoarder and for me to shift that guitar was not something I would do on a whim. I'd had it for bout 8 years and played it almost every day. I'm going to have to do some kind of experiment I think!
