Hey everybody i want to get m first esp or ltd guitar to had to my collection. I'm not sure what i want though. I really dig the LTD Gl-256. I play blues, Hard rock (ac/dc, van halen, Led zeppelin etc etc), classic rock, metal basically everything, but flamenco :p I've been talking to 1point8t about the Gl-256 and i almost have my mind settled on that. any help is appreciated

sounds good for what you wanna play, its got the humbucker!

A great choice for your style. Can't beat the price for that one too. Do they come with Seymour Duncan Pearley Gates in the bridge? ESP neck and middle? You can change those and still be far less money than a Vintage series.

Take the plunge man, pick one up. Even if you end up hating it (which I guarantee you won't), you could flip it on ebay for pretty much what you paid for it. Very upgradeable guitar with a great feel. I love my GL.

Ok so the next question is I will probably switch out the humbucker thats in the bridge.
i want a passive pickup in there. What should i replace it with ?

I like the JB for most old school 80's metal and earlier hard rock. Didn't EVH use an old Gibson hum in his old white striped guitar used on VH1? I thought you were aiming for that kind of sound...

All right i played the GL-256 today and i was impressed by the quality and playability the action was pretty high though but nothing a good setup can't fix. If the gl-256 was good i wonder what the esp gl-56 would be like ! i'm still not sure on buying it though
