ESP Standard MI NTB:

Well its here, i can honestly say its far superior to any LTD ive ever played, including the 1000 series. I still haven't replaced the factory strings or setup but i can say without a doubt this is a finely built instrument. Everything about it screams of quality, the fret work is some of the best ive ever seen period and its a production model! Ive looked over every inch of this beast and i cant find one fucking flaw. Couple of other notes: The volume knob does not get in the way at all and whoevers complaining about that has monkey hands.

Couple things im not a huge fan about, the guitars rather bright as most alder bodied guitars are and adding this EMG 81 to the mix seems a bit overkill in the brightness department. This is why ill be replacing the EMG with a Bareknuckel Warpig. And the tuning machines are a bit bunch up and i forgot how much of a pain the reverse headstocks are on these when it comes to tuning...

Overall im super happy and cant wait to get these 9's off and give it a good setup after it adjusts to the climate.

Congrats !!!!

Very cool! I really like the single pickup and volume knob. Simplicity for the win! Congrats!

 

[Nightside]

sucks the standard series doesnt come with cases anymore

 

[mikernaut]

looks nice, cool new toy. Also good call with putting a BKP in it

In euro they come with case... I was kinda upset with that but whatever. The guitar more then makes up for this.


Thanks guys.

Well I see a flaw right off the bat! They forgot the neck pickup! Just kidding

That's some serious bullshit though that there isn't a case. I would think that if you spend past 800 dollars on a guitar, they would throw a case in.

Very nice. A ceramic Warpig will slay in that. Actually when I think about it though you may want to go with an Alnico since you only have one pickup. It will be a little more versatile.

 

[Jak3]

hmm, I dont really know the difference between ceramic and alnico. Most seem to be recommending ceramic. Anythings gotta sound better then this 81....

Burzum tattoo?

 

[HANIAK]

That guitar is astonishing beautiful! I wish there was a 7 string version, though...

 

[Fred the Shred]

Looks great, simple as it is - it conveys a certain feeling of "power".

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Looks sick.

 

[Andromalia]

It's true that no case is a shame for the price tag that goes with these. :/
Checked on THomann and they do come with cases in europe, at 1500€ apiece they'd better.

Burzum tattoo?

Unfortunately, i let that 16 year old angst get the best of me....

I have a heavily modifed M1, and its my favourite guitar. I agree with you about it being very bright and the 81 is overkill, i have a bareknuckle warpig in mine and it now sound brutal . The magnum lock tuners are complete garbage so i replaced mine with sperzel lockers. Anyways awesome guitar

Ya i dont know if i said it or not yet but ya, these tuners fucking blow ass. I changed the strings for the first time this morning and yuck heh.

Ive seen the post of yours and im gonna mod it exacly the same. Dumping this ugly cosmo chrome hardware for black, getting sperzels and dropping a warpig in.

I hate this 81.

 

[poopyalligator]

Sick guitar man. I love the simplicity of it. Single bridge pickup is whats up. Congrats on the new guitar.

 

[C-PIG]

yea i tried about every duncan , and a couple of dimarzios and nothing even came close to the tone of the warpig .

 

[Jak3]

Ya i read that. How much did that puppy cost anyway?
