Schecter Guitars with a Floyd Rose Tremolo: Top pick?
Schecter Hybrid C-1 FR
All of these guitars are fairly similar in terms of quality, but I like the EMG pickup in the Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 at the bridge position (and the color). So with the top five listed here, it's mostly a matter of preference since the differences are pretty nuanced.
You can spot Schecter guitars with a Floyd Rose by either looking at the spec sheet or just glancing at the naming convention. When you see "FR" or "FR-S" in the model name, that stands for Floyd Rose and means it comes with the locking tremolo system already installed. We've covered our favorites here, but will also list some of the other Schecter guitars with Floyd systems closer to the bottom of the page. Here are my five recommendations.

Other Schecter Models with Floyd Rose Systems
Keep in mind that you'll see a lot of entries that look like they're different models, but are actually just a variation of the same model. The most common is different colors and finishes, so some of these models should not be viewed as separate from each other, but just small variations on a theme. I was torn whether or not to do this with the Hellraiser Schecters, but they were different enough that I went ahead and separated the Hybrid and Evil Twin from the original C-1.
To be honest, the model naming conventions are somewhat confusing.

How to Find Them
As mentioned in the opening paragraph, look for "FR" in the model name. Pictures should show the Floyd Rose installed as well, and it will also be mentioned in the spec sheet. The EverTune and fixed bridges will show up in the Schecter catalog as well.
Selection and Recommendation Methodology
Since we already have criteria established (Schecter brand and Floyd Rose bridge), we isolate the guitars that fit these parameters and focus on the most reputable models. We also look for a convergence of price and quality, and try to find the lowest possible price at the highest possible quality level. That's how we measure "high value" in our recommendations. If you have questions about our methodology, please feel free to ask.
