the only reason i am after a guitar with a floyd rose becasue in play music such as van halen extreme and motley crue, so in order to sound the same am i right in saying i do indeed require a floyd rose trem?
Buying a guitar with a floyd rose already in it is perfectly fine, just be careful to make sure its a good unit. Licensed floyd roses other than the ones I mentioned tend to be of inferior quality, and will give you nightmares once the knife edges wear a little.

You can retrofit a floyd to any guitar whatsoever (Even acoustics, although its not reccomended by any stretch), although to do so is more cost than its worth on most mid level instruments like that one, and you will need to get a luthier to do the work for you.
