If I got a jackson I would not want a flying v. I like the shredder type body that jackson makes without a reverse headstock. Should I get a floyd rose I dont know anything about it right now but I want to learn to use a whammy bar because I play alot of Maiden and stuff. I knew that ESP makes ltd guitars but I thoguht they were still good guitars. I have like $550 to spend I really want a jackson but I thought that LTd guitars were still good. could someone check out the MH-301 specs on espguitars.com and tell me what you think of it.
