The 1000 series is basically the top of the line of the LTD brand. It then goes 500 so on and so on.
my next question is whast he difference between ESP and LTD? i kno that one is made in japan and the other is in korea. but is there any major difference?
LTDs are made in Korea and ESPs are made in Japan. LTDs are basically factory line guitars while ESPs are hand made, with ESPs having more attention to details. The LTDs are usually more generic parts, not the best woods, etc, but there still great guitars for the price.
I know for sure the 500 vs. the 1000 has different options. Some of the 1000's come with an ebony fretboard and fancy inlays and fancy binding. The 500 is basically a stripped down version of it. I've been hearing that the 1000 series pays more attention to detail and quality a bit more than the 500 series. Also, the 1000 comes with a maple top, which is probably more like a veneer than a top. I don't know the information on their fretboard radius's as they describe them as "thin U, or extra thin U etc.."
