Sweet...the maple top on the LTD sort of reminds me of the maple on my Showmaster. They are a sweet pair of axes

Nice RK I'm liking both of those. You can jump from Blues to Shred fairly easily... I get lost after the 22nd fret... I think the dog is the only one that hears any notes past that... :lol:

On a serious note Do you have trouble going back to the Strat after playing the LTD ? It looks like 12" inch radius. I've got a Gretsch with a 12" and when I go back to the Strat my fingers start tripping over each other until I get accustomed to it again. I don't have that problem going the other way.

I have more troubles going from the Strat to the ESP, but after 5 minutes all is well. I never had a problem with playing the Strat, that was the lure when I bought it.

Please don't take offense--I'm sure your ESP is a fine guitar. However, the contrast of a Strat-inspired design next to a real Stratocaster really highlights to me how comical these copies look compared to the elegant lines of the original. There's a reason the Stratocaster is an icon of design.

No offense taken and I agree. I bought the ESP a year earlier when I still owned my Squire HM III modded Strat. When I saw my Fender HWY 1 in the store, I played it (and several others) and it is now my main guitar. I only use the ESP for Metal music that requires a lot of tremelo action (my Fender's G string goes out of tune easily when I use the tremelo, otherwise it is a great guitar). I posted on another thread that I was looking into buying locking tuners for my Strat. I am sure after that, the ESP will collect even more dust than it already does.

I have been looking into buying a MIM HSS or HH with the Floyd Rose to replace the ESP, but that will have to wait for now.

All in all the ESP is a good guitar, just not as good as my Fender Stratocaster when it comes to tone and sound.
