    Hello everyone, ive been looking around on the forum for a while but didnt find how to become active until yesterday. But i need some help on what i want my first esp to be. I play in a hard rock(clutchish and grunge)/alt rock/metal(think deftones) and i would like an esp ltd. I noticed ltd because my bassist has an older b-series. I would also like to mention that i dont play alot of lead and I have a budget of around 700USD(give or take about $50).

    well being a fellow clutch and deftones fan i would suggest either an ec-401/1000 or mh-401nt/1000. neither band uses a tremolo, both use humbuckers and stop tail bridges.
    i have a mh-400nt and it is a quality peice

      i'd say, EC-401VF (or the old AT series).
      or the EC-256AVB + pickups of your choice.

      i like the shape and 22 frets.

          An EC-100 falls well short of your $700 range. I'd stick around the LTD-400 range and try any body style that you find interesting. You'll find a better deal buying a used one.

            Check out the LTD Viper 401. Awesome axe with 81/85 active humbuckers. I love mine . They are very versataille with the right amp.

                some are (guess it depends a lot on the wood), but you can always move the strapbutton (search the forum).

                          it's the diffrence between the 200 and the 400 series, so a pretty big one, in specs, wood and overall quality (look it up).

                          get the viper 407 or 417 instead of the sc-207
