That is definitely a sexy looking guitar! Great pickup combination as well! Got to love a goldtop singlecut guitar!

Take a look at the >Yamaha AES620< before deciding on the ESP. It also has a JB pickup at the bridge, and has a very nice PAF style pickup at the neck (sounds better than a 59 to me). Plus, it's a bit cheaper. I have this guitar, and can vouch for it being an amazing deal!
