I finally managed to get nice big heavy strings 12-52mm on my G&L Doheny V12 guitar. It has a wound G, and I have to tune 1/2 step flat, and it took me 3 hours to balance the saddle height, tremolo tension, and neck truss rod. Works now but what a pain in the ass.

This is why I can't be bothered with trem systems anymore. Is it really worth giving up basic musician privileges for that one effect?
I made a bunch of Bass VI guitars which have that shitty Jazzmaster trem and I hated them so much I made a hardtail version that's a million times better. On the plus side, this is a G&L dual fulcrum trem which works a lot better than others and is very stable.

Oh so it's sort of floating? Guess if you stick to 12s now it shouldn't give you too much grief. I have an Ibanez I'd actually play if I could convert to hard tail, rather than just blocking the trem. Not sure filling the cavity would work

What kind of ibanez? Is this a floyd rose tremolo?
