so im looking into a new six string..ive been without one for almost half a year.
ive tried to narrow it down as much as possible. if any of you guys have any experience with any of these, or have any input, please please share!

caparison dillinger II-hgs

ltd ec-1000/esp eclipse II..i just dont like how it comes with 22 frets

those are my favorites.
OR
either an ibanez RG series w/ trem...or esp/ltd m series
since the RG and M are practically the same guitar itd be awesome if someone could tell me how they play compared to each other

and if anyone else has any suggestions please do throw em out there. i want my next 6 string to be a beast :hbang:

id also sugges an ESP Horizon NT II, again i own one but these guitars.

Beautiful finishes available and great feeling necks (a bit chunkier than caparison) neck through consturction and good hardware (EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups)

i love mine

I'd go for a Horizon aswell, outplays the Caparisons I've played, and I like the neck profile and carved top.

Another thought is Carvin.
Dc127, Dc145, or Dc135?
Many options to choose from to make it more to your own preference.
Woods.
Bridge type.
Fret size.
Fretboard radius.
Color choices.
and more.

If I were to ever have another one built, it would be similar to this one.

i love carvins.
ive pretty much made up my mind, my next six is gonna be that esp eclipse. i just love something about those that i cant find in the H or M
but anyways
i just designed a carvin dc727 a few days ago and with the case it would cost me about 1500. plus shipping and tax and whatever else gets calculated into that.
i messaged Zimbloth about the caparison prices and info, ill compare that and make my decision between the dc727 and the dellinger 7 for my next 7 string :hbang:
