hey man, i noticed in one of your post you said you were interested in an esp/ltd ec 100 i think? I would really adivise against it. Any esp/ltd isnt really worth unless its a 400 series or up, unless you can get a hold of a discontinued 300 series. The 250's and under are all made of agathis with is a very cheap wood and they use not so great pick ups. The wood really does affect your tone, so between the pick ups and the wood your tone wont be very good at all. I would save up and get a esp/ltd ec 400, which is loaded with emg 81/60 active pick up set and is made of mahogony which is a great wood.
