Hows the bridge?
Is it similar to the one found in the EBMM or just the standard synchronised tremolo?

Its a floating bridge, which is similar to the one found on the real thing. Its a step up from the OLPs which had vintage trems.

So you can pull the trem up?
What about fluttering?
I know it won't be as good as a floyd rose.

 

[LiQuiFireX]

Yes. Its recessed as said in the specs. It should be able to flutter like the JP6, not too sure though as the trem arm moves freely like the original jp6. A little plumber's tape round the trem arm should do the trick:
