You might wanna wait more than half an hour before expecting an answer.

I'd say go for it.

I am a huge fan of ESP's, so I'd suggest you play a 1527 before you make the trade.

I like the 1527, I'm probably going to get one in the near future, but it's hard to beat an ESP.

its not an ESP its an ltd

**jaxadam** · #7 04-08-2006, 12:36 AM

yeah, I know, but they're both still good guitars

when all is said and done, my esp is still my go-to guitar for a lot of situations

Go play it and see if you like it or not. If you like it better than what you have, then go for it. If not, then don't bother.

the ESP you got is a great guitar, just a different beast

i would suggest one of the m or mh guitars by ESP

Eddie_UV777 · #15 04-09-2006, 07:27 PM

yeah i went with the EC....totally neglecting the fact that i play vai and me and friends started a metalcore band and i wanted to offer some vai style riffs
