Personally I'd say "Don't be daft", but I'd also say that its a case of whatever floats your boat.
Due to the nature of a trem, with the amount of cutaway's and holes and stuff needed, it would take a fair amount of the interaction between the strings and the wood, which are directly transferred via the tune-o-matic. Trems rob tone, although dive bombs would be that much easier!

Even the thought of such a thing makes me physically sick.
The whole Les Paul ethos is one of rich, warm tone and singing sustain - a Floyd will rob you of both.
I imagine it'd be hideously expensive, leave a lot of cosmetic problems (holes to be filled etc) and reduce your resale value to almost zero.
EDIT: the epiphone Goths come with a floyd option, and there's a Fernandes Les Paul copy that comes floyd-equipped. I'd buy one of them before spending the same to butcher your poor defenceless love rock.

I?m totally with you guys. It really ruins the idea of Les Paul!
Why I asked. Well, the band i was in, some ten years ago. The other
guitarist got Tokai Love Rock with Floyd and I hated that guitar.
It felt okay to play. Very much like fretless wonder. Very low frets and low
action. But it sounded like a piece of plank compared to any other LS.
Tone was stuffy and dead. Though it had pretty good sustain (?).
It was black custom model. I?ll try to find a picture of it and scan it if I found one.
Black LS with gold floyd...
...Ewwwwwww..... :-?

I hate that bridge on any guitar.
I have a Fernandes " The Function " { ? } strat with a Floyd. I only bought it, used , because it was acustom made guitar from the 80`s and it was at a good price. I took the locking nut part off and it makes it a bit easier to change the strings but what a pain in the butt.
