If I were you I'd forget the whole ESP LTD deal. Jackson is a much better choice and my own opinion is you should get an Ibanez. In my opinion they sound better and are better to play than Jackson but then again it's just my opinion. Buy an Ibanez RG and make sure it's made in Japan not in Korea or whatever. An Ibanez 500- or 700- series guitar is definitely a great choice. Try them all and decide yourself what you really want. No one other can tell you what you
should get. We can only give you possibilities.:)
