Anyone has experience with these? I wasn't aware of them, until I saw them in the used market. They're Mij and inexpensive...

I was wondering this, too. But, I also thought they equivalent to E-II as well.Since when they were MiJ? I always assumed they were China, Korea, and Indo. They're supposed to be Japan's equivalent of the LTD line being more beginner and intermediate guitars.
Grass Roots have the cheapest cheapo hardware and pickups they can find. I checked out the big boss store and saw made in China on some. Made in Japan on one from ishibashi.I was wondering this, too. But, I also thought they equivalent to E-II as well.

Ah....I see. Thanks for clarifying.Grass Roots have the cheapest cheapo hardware and pickups they can find. I checked out the big boss store and saw made in China on some. Made in Japan on one from ishibashi.
I did not know the history of LTD. Interesting. I have no complaints with my MIJ E-II. Great guitars IMO.That's Edwards. MIJ with name brand hardware.
Now that I think about it I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Grassroots guitars made in Japan but with really cheap hardware and components. That's how LTD started off in the very beginning before they switched to Korea in 1998
Yeah the very first LTDs between 1996 - 1998 were really stripped town MiJ models with meh hardware and pickupsI did not know the history of LTD. Interesting. I have no complaints with my MIJ E-II. Great guitars IMO.
The earliest ones not even that. They had Schaller trem, Gotoh hardware and Esp Japan pickups which aren't bad. I bought my 98 brand new in 99. I didn't know it at the time but it was one of the last Japanese ones. It still had Gotoh tuners and esp stamped neck plate and the proper MII body and headstock shape which changed to some AliExpress looking shit for the first few years of Korean production. But mine was HH instead of HS like the old version and had Duncan designed pickups. And the trem was changed to something that looked like a JT580LP with rounded Floyd type wings.Yeah the very first LTDs between 1996 - 1998 were really stripped town MiJ models with meh hardware and pickups
