Bit of a post, but please bare with me...

The store down the road is having a stocktake sale tomorrow. I was looking at the ESP Ltd MH-400 ( http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_mh.htm ), and they offered it to me for $500 off the retail price ($1955 AUD), but I have to take it tomorrow if I want that price.

It's not really the price I was hoping to find, as I got my other LTD of slightly lower retail value for $900 on ebay, but deals like that don't come up very often.

My dad's gonna pay some though, so I will be paying $900.

It's not really the finish I was after, as it's dark green and you can't see the quilted top very well. It still looks pretty nice, but not as sleek as the blue one.

It played like a dream though and sounded the part too with the EMG 81 set. The Floyd stayed in tune perfectly.

Now... does anyone know anything about the quality of this guitar that I may not know? Should I snatch this up? I just need some more thoughts.

Ideally, a guitar feels like it belongs with you as soon as you pick it up. Sometimes, you get one that felt merely OK at first, but you grow to love it. Sometimes that initial glow of discovery turns out to be a shallow infatuation that doesn't last. Yes, it is a lot like choosing a lover!

Does the store offer a free return policy? Can you get all of your money back, or do they only give a store credit note? You may find that you like this axe better as you get used to having it around for a few days. Or you may find that green just isn't for you.

heck, I like the green color of that guitar, though, I think it would look better in a dark green shade...

but mainly, I would go with lords advice and ask about their return policy

I'm in luck. They offered to order in the other colour for the same price.

25% is about as good a discount as I'll ever find on a new guitar over here, so I think I'll put a deposit on it.
