For the price can't be beat if you need a real floyd rose guitar and are just playing filthy distortion anyways, but Adorama policies aren't going to match sweetwater.

What do you all think? Should I pass and get a more basic, beginner friendly model? Or is the newbie tremolo complexity overhyped?
Edit: For clarity, I don't really care about using the tremolo, at least not initially. Rather, wondering if it should stop me from getting this to learn on.

Not everyone is a fan of the chalky looking Indian laurel fretboard. You can find rosewood, roasted maple or even Ebony in this price range.

Maybe watch couple Floyd Rose setup and tuning videos on youtube, to be sure that you want to deal with it.
But if you really love it, I'm not going to try to convince you not to buy it. There are relatively inexpensive mods to block FR from moving if you will decide that you don't want to use it.

Tuning is one of the most important and misunderstood concepts of guitar. Most guitarists are using robotic tuners to get 0-0-0-0-0-0 in tune, and this means every chord you play will be out of tune due to the intrinsic nature of the fretboard. Look at a true-temperament fretboard and you will understand what I mean. If you watch old videos of Andres Segovia playing he will tune 1 or 2 strings in the middle of playing so that his next chord will be in tune. You will learn less about guitar by setting a floyd-rose and forgetting it for 1 or 2 years. I haven't even mentioned its 1000x times easier to tune to drop-D by twisting the tuner 1/2 spin than to pull out the allen wrench.

Setting up a Floyd rose is much more involved and once it is set up you can't quickly tune to a different key, you have to set it up again.
I'm tempted to get another to setup in another tuning!
