That's not a locking trem guitar. I'd suggest starting with a non-locking trem guitar, as they are much less hassle for an inexperienced guitar maintainer to deal with.
If you really must do crazy wang bar stuff ala dimebag, EVH, Vai or King, then make sure you spend on a decent floyd rose or floyd rose copy-equipped guitar and learn to set it up. It's good to have a decent shop or an experienced friend around when getting to know locking trems as they are the number one cause of new guitarist intonation/setup/tuning/restringing pain. If you do buy one ask for detailed instructions on how to restring it (hint: one string at a time)...

I have a GSA with a standard trem (same one as the one on the black SA you posted a link to) on it, it stays in tune as long as you don't go mad with it - thats what I have a JS for
Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail

Oh. I thought you had a JS so you could have a guitar that would slip off your thigh constantly when seated. Guess I was way off base there.

you have to win the auction first. i see there's no "buy now".
if you want to buy this, you could ask if you can view it first, then get a friend to play it and check it out. try to get someone who knows about guitars.
Personal opinion follows: I think using a hardtail and learning to bend well with your fingers while you're learning makes for a better player in the long run.
