Don't know if you've seen the Japanese Schecters and then compared them to Japanese ESPs. A lot of models are very similar. Schecter are generally not as metal as the ESP ones though.The Hs look almost exactly like Schecter 7s.
^ seconded the LTD 1000s are awesome, I have a MH1000 FR and it kicks ass.
I like the look of the H1007's but I don't understand why they are keeping with that headstock, I don'think I know anyone who prefers it over the cockstock?
It's strange that they didn't put a tremolo on a Slayer guitar when you hear the strong abuse that Jeff and Kerry do. It must a be a serious deal breaker for the fans.
The sc-208 could be my first 8 string, how many people even tune down an 8 to warrant baritone scale? I can only think of meshuggah, and even then a half step down doesn't require a baritone scale length.
wow the new LTD 200 Kamikaze with >matching headstock< is really really interesting for the estimated ltd 200 price tag. it could be mine
ESP
i am dissapoint

Standard scale for an 8 should be 27". Consider the fact that you're playing with a ~.74 F#. That's going to sound awfully muddy on a 25.5" scale. I mean, it's cool that they're offering an affordable 8, but if it's a signature, at least make it the same general specs. It's not like the scale length makes a giant difference in materials used, unless you're getting like a 36" scale bass.
I am really enjoying the fact that there are no more horrendous bindings going around the entire guitar. That is the only thing that ever kept me from buying a 1000 series.
