i say the h 307 because

1. the viper will neckdive terribly
2. the eclipse isnt a 7.

I would also say the H-307, because I owned an H-207, and the quality on that was amazing for the price range of that guitar. The 307 is DEFINITELY a cool guitar, and it's not black like the viper.

The ec-1000 is a nice guitar if you're looking for another 6 string

H-307 hands down. The finish is gorgeous, the neck on the old horizons are real comfy. Plus it has the cockstock!

you should also check out the SC-607B if you haven't yet...best...neck...ever (perhaps not actually THE best neck EVER, but it is pretty damn fantastic)

Rick must be busy so ill suggest it for him

Have you thought about agile?

 

[dmoney760]

Alright thanks for the info really appreciate it alot thanks ^_^
was hoping someone would give more in depth info on the viper tho :-s
just like how the neck and bridge onto how they both hold up an all
and yes i know agile guitars was gonna consider it but thought to myself
"is that a guitar that i really would buy?" like on a satisfactory point of view haha
but yea i would rather have an esp any day over an agile personally :]

also would the H-307 perform good live on stage? :-o
is it that great of construction of those horizons of back then?

yeah the build quality is pretty good on the higher up ltd models. its mahogany so thats a plus. i would still suggest giving agile another chance. there is a douglas on rondomusic.com for 190 plus you can find used interceptors for pretty cheap on here. i just got one and i couldnt be happier.

1. the viper will neckdive terribly

I wouldn't say that.
Though I own and play the Viper 417 just since yesterday, the neck didn't dive such bad. At least not more than towards staying horizontally. And that's to problem using a good strap and the forearm.

Interceptor Pro 725>any ESP 7 that isnt custom shop.

/thread

And i guess if you REALLY wanna stay with ESP/LTD and want a pretty badass 7... theres always the Nergal V.
