how much F and EX cost?
Back then, i paid what is equivalent to $800 for the F in 2006 and $730 for the EX-400BD in the end of 2007.
The LTD 400 series back then was made in Korea with high end hardware, similar to what is on the deluxe LTDs now.
Both the guitars are discontinued and some how hard to find. Glad i snatched them when I could.
i like the higher end LTDs and think theyre a good value for the price, but the lower end ones put a bad taste in my mouth. in 07 i bought an indonesian MH-100QMNT, and it had a fucked up neck(a dip at the 1st and 2nd frets on the e and b strings), a shitty neck joint, and a bubble in the finish(which is not a true quilted maple top, just a paper thin veneer)...and an agathis body(agathis, basswood, poplar = shit). i put EMGs in it, and it sounded better of course, but it would never compare to a better wood. i used it for a while until i gave it to my brother and bought my MH-350NT. night and day difference. i know people talk shit about the new chinese LTDs, but this one is stellar in every way, and im comparing it to my '72 deluxe LP. i guess i got a good one. my first ESP (korean 99 m-100) also has INCREDIBLE playability and build quality. the only downside is the basswood body, which im replacing with maple or alder unit. obviously the true ESPs are better, and lord knows i want one badly, but until i have a band again and gig all the time i cant justify the price versus the higher end LTDs.
Nothing wrong with surf green Squier teles.
