Are recessed routed floyds better or worse for a charvel style guitar?

Lots of work but done right is worth it, played one done correctly and it was the shit.
I have thought about doing this to my San Dimas. I'm just afraid it wont be done right or cost too F'ing much. I think you have to do the neck pocket (not sure if you need to retain the angle) along with the Floyd recess.

so my stupid question is: Is it possibile give an angle to the neck in the area of neck junction using the 4 screw??psycodave write: not sure if you need to retain the angle

How is Tom Anderson the godfather of the super strat? I've seen you write that a couple of times and each time.
I think a recessed Floyd is a very Jackson/ESP/Ibanez thing to do. You can certainly do it to a Charvel or a Gibson or an Oldsmobile if you must. Especially if you need to pull up 17 steps. My custom shop Charvel I'm playing right now will go up 2 and 1/2 steps with no recess.
And I freaking love when I read on Rig Talk, "I can only use this or I could never use that" and it just makes me giggle myself silly at the implication, in this case that what worked for Van Halen, Lynch, Gary Moore, DeMartini and others is just not quite good enough for one of us schlubs.
