My random star's in a bit of a bind at the moment:

I was looking for a floyded Strat, in the middle of a hard rock kick or something. I don't know anything about Fenders and I received quite a few warnings from friends about those models, so I never got very far... Because of this little sweetie popped up just in time. ESP I do know and they never disappoint

Kids love it too (the room was completely dark):

This one had the most innovative electronic configuration I've come across so far. In the bridge there was an EMG 89 X with the push pull volume; in the middle there was a lipstick tele pickup hooked up to a Duncan Blackouts Modular Preamp and in the neck Hot Rails Tele with its own volume. I made it a bit more boring with DiMarzio SDS-1's and Duncan TB-5, but man does it sound good.


I HAD NO IDEA that these glow in the dark. That makes the guitar 10x Cooler to me.

Yeah the graphic is silly and not my style at all, but she sounds and plays so good I immediately decided this will replace my new CS Dinky. I guess my Jackson stint is now officially over and it'll be ESP from here on out

The Arctic White LTD would have looked so much better with a direct mounted pickup. I don't understand why they used a ring. The black screws kill the vibe for me. It is a sick guitar though.

Nope, nope nope nope. The pickup ring is what gives the Arctic Metal the edge over the Black Metal, as the direct on the BM looks unfinished.

The LTD Arctic Metal (M-I) is a very good guitar. Good build, nice tight attack.
