The finish on that ESP is absolutely beautiful. How does the neck feel on it?

[–] idontcapitalize 1 points 1 year ago

thanks! yeah, i saw the finish and knew i had to have it. the neck isn't super thin, but isn't chunky either. it's got a glossy finish, which may or may not be your thing. i'm not super picky with necks though, unless it feels like a baseball bat...those are the only ones i really have an issue with.

the matte finish on my ltd m1000 is probably my favorite, along with the profile as well.

Great collection, I'm a big fan of LTD but haven't had the pleasure of playing an ESP yet. Was that Ibanez your first? I started on one very similar to that from the mid 90s, except mine was red and has a wrap around bridge instead of the tune-o-matic style you have. Thanks for sharing!

i started out with a samick sg copy that i sold to pay for the explorer when i was in college. then i quickly picked up the ibanez because i wanted something cheap to have around in case i thought i had too much to drink but still wanted to play guitar. oh the college days...

and yes, gotta love ltd guitars! great guitars at a great price. i got an ec-256 as well that's like the purple one's stunt double...still gets the job done though!

What's your Marshall amp? I think I have the same one!

jcm900 4100 dual reverb, the one some people like to crap on. it really nails a lot of 80s and 90s tones though, so i love it!

Nice. JCM900 is properly underated.

Nice collection, but why 3 double humbucker guitars? Are they all different tunings, or is there something else that differentiates them?

[–] idontcapitalize 2 points 1 year ago

the ibanez is in d standard, the v is in e standard. the purple one has emg het set pickups and the explorer has emg 81/60, both tuned to e flat.

Its 4 HH guitars. I got 3 myself - i love double Humbucker guitars - the 3 i got are definitly very different in sound.
