I just bought 2 brand new TB7’s in the E-II line up. Great guitars and truly happy with them! I did always wonder why with the price jump why it didn’t come with Stainless Steel Frets or a Graphtech Tusq Nut. Great to see that you guys are starting with the 1000 series. Will this eventually trickle into the E-ll line? Cheers!

    I do not understand why there would be stainless on LTD but not on the E-II series? Does not make sense

      If SS frets are proposed on E-II series I hope it will not be default on all models and we will have the choice: I have SS frets on one of my guitars, the feeling and durability are great but I dislike the sound.

        The answer is very simple -- LTD guitars are made by Cort and World.  Both of these companies already have the infrastructure and technology and supply to do stainless frets, as they have been doing them for other brands that also outsource their guitars to be built by them, and they've been doing this for years now.  E2's are made directly by ESP in Japan, they are not outsourced like the LTD guitars are.  They would have to upgrade their own facilities.

          Next step: Graphite nuts please! If Schecter can offer Graph Tech XL Black Tusq in 400$ guitars, I see no reason for using molded plastic nuts on 1000$ LTD guitars. Also, would like to see neck thickness measurements (1st and 12th frets) in the specifications because mentioning "Thin U" neck contour on almost all guitars does not give a comparable objective information.

            You’re right. A good nut is much more important than stainless steel frets!

              I agree with this, however I think injected bone is better than Graphtech material.  But I do agree that any guitar that costs more than $500 USD should not have a generic plastic material for the nut.  Keep in mind though, it's a lot easier to upgrade a nut than it is to do a re-fret (to the person who claimed a good nut is more important).

                  Pretty cool guitar model but when will the contest conclude? You know the one that you win a red guitar, an amp head and a cabinet by engl?
