You can go to ESP and Jacksons websites and fill out a custom shop guitar quote.... and it will give you the quoted price. If I had 3-4 grand to spend, I wouldn't blow it all on one axe. I would spend it on a sweet amp (Mesa Triple Rectifier!!!!!!!) and I would build another guitar. But it's your perogative to spend it on what you want. I personally would rather get an ESP custom shop than a Jackson.... but that's just me...
