erm... i'm a guitarist since 12 years, but can't figure out what you are speaking about.
The part you are speaking about is called a "tremolo" (not tremelo
) and the best types of trems are Floyd Rose ones, found on lots of brands of guitars. 
and yes, a guitar is hard to play. you won't be able to catch one and rock immediatly LOL
Maybe you thought "tremolo" was a brand of guitar, but it's not... it's just a part of every guitar

a tremolo is floating. Guitar strings pull it from above, while some springs pull it from under. The result is that it's floating and allows to put or remove tension on the guitar strings when you push or pull on it, creating this funny sound you seem to like

Cheers mate, very informative
And yeah i did know the tremolo was part of the guitar and not an actual make of guitar! just wanted someone to confirm that was the name of the part!
How much harder are these to play than one without a tremolo then?

mmmmmh... well, if you use trem a lot, yes it's harder, you can say. But using it from time to time does not make playing more difficult. What's a lot worse with a tremolo is tuning... as it's floating, each time you tighten a string, the 5 others lose tension, if you see what i mean... which makes tuning a pain if you're not used to

what can be a bit harder too at first is that when you play, your right hand may push accidentaly on the trem body, causing fluctuations in the tonality of the note... causing the music sounding wrong
but again, this is just something you get used too... arrange yourself to rest your palm somewhere else than on the trem body

yep, the two white ones are Steve Vai models (one 6 string and one 7 string)
The first multicolor one is a John Petrucci model (my all time favourite guitar, and i owned quite a lot of different brands and sorts )
The last grey one is a RG series 7 strings
Imaloverofcars -> it's a good example there... the guitar he just posted (it's an Epiphone SG special) does not have a floyd rose trem, as you can see the bridge on this one is fixed
My amp is a Mesa Boogie dual rectifier
Here is it :
