The ESP M-1 is very nice guitar! it has 22 frets chunky neck,
maple fretboard
1 humbucker configuration (screaming demon) maple body (quite heavy) OFR.
Playability is really good, however I always find myself wishing for 24 frets, the tone is quite nice with the maple body but is kind of limited since it only has one pup. The M-1 can do anything from Blues to shred. I am not familiar with the other axe you asking about but I do recommend the M-1!
