    Hello, I'm Nevan and I need your addice. I want to buy a new guitar and after some searching I found 2 guitars that fits me: * ESP M-II (maybe I want to switch the neck EMG81 with 85 or 60) * Jackson SL3MG + Original Floyd Rose (this is not in the guitar but I want to buy the tremelo to replace it with the factory installed FRT-0200) from the Pro Series. And I want to know that's the best. The specs are often the same but is there a difference in wood? quality? sound?. Both guitars are made in Japan. I will make a list and price and just say your personal perference ESP M-II: Neck Thru Maple Neck Alder Body Scale: 25,5 " 24 XJ frets Rosewood fretboard Dot inlays, ESP at 12th fret EMG-81 (B & N) Volume control, 3 way toggle switch Original Floyd Rose tremolo Black hardware Camo Finish Case included EXTRA: Neck pickup will be replaced by a 85 or 60 Price: 1650 (guitar) + 75 (emg pickup) = 1725 EUR / 2345 USD (European prices) Jackson SL3MG Neck Thru Maple Neck Alder Body Scale: 25,5" 24 J Frets Rosewood Fingerboard MOTO Shark Fin Inlays EMG 81 (B) / EMG 85 (N) 3 way Toggle switch , 1 Volume Knob and Tone Switch Black Hardware Floyd Rose FRT-O2000 Tremolo Finish: Black Case Included EXTRA: Floyd Rose 02000 will be replaced by a OFR Price: 1160 (guitar) + 300 (OFR + install) = 1460 EUR / 2000 USD(European prices)

    Hello Nevan.

    My addice would be the same as in the last 3 Jackson vs ESP threads you started. Get the guitar your parents can afford. Have fun!

      What Gfunk meant to say was:

      Jackson > ESP

              The M-II is in a league above that Jackson. If you were to compare it to a USA soloist or Dinky, then I'd say different, but with the Euro prices of USA Jacksons the M-II would be a better bet. This is if the compound radius fretboard of 12-16 is not heavy preferred over a consistent 12" radius.

                You can't go wrong with M-II.
                The current japanese Jackson isn't that great anyway, much different than they used to in the 90s
