How good should i be at guitar before i get another one?
well getting a new guitar isnt really based on skill. its just based on what you like i guess, if you dont like your current guitar, or if it is a piece of crap or something. then buy a new one by all means, but you sound like you know a lot of stuff. but pretty much only buy a new guitar if you think you really need a new one. that guitar is a good guitar but i think it is one that has a floyd rose. and im going to warn you right now, theres only two good things about a floyd rose-divebombs and it stays in tune. besides that they *********. they are a ***** to restring, if you use a heavier or lighter gauge of strings than what comes on it, the floating bridge will be messed up it will be either flying above the body or sunk into the guitar. that means you will have to either change your tuning to fix the problem, always get the same gauge of strings, or install a tremsetter or buy more springs. it depends. but i would seriously not get a floyd rose until you under stand all the trouble that comes with it. my friend had one and it messed up. he got a heavier gauge of strings and it flew up in the air and it was impossible to tune it to standard or anywhere close to it cause the more you tuned it the more i would pull the bridge up, thus pulling the already tuned strings out of tune, its a never ending process. the only way to fix this is to get a tremsetter which you have to drill out your guitar to install. or to get more springs, and still you have to get a perfect balance of tension. he ended up having to get light d'addario strings and now he has to get those same strings or his floyd rose will mess up again. it really does suck. not to mention of you are playing live and you break a string it instantlly throws the other strings out of tune. and if you try to palm mute and you press to hard it pushes the bridge back and you go out of tune. seriously dont get a floyd rose until you know what you are getting.
