ESP M-II v Ltd M1000
ESP M-II v Ltd M1000
Hi,
I have a choice of two guitars, a new M1000 Deluxe, or a used M-II. Is it worth taking a chance on a used M-II bolt on? What would you do if you were in my situation? Last thing I want is a delapidated old M-II, but I know that it would be the better of the two overall. I can't decide what to do! :confused:
While that's not explicitly true, If I were offered an M-II used at the same price as an M-1000 new, I'd take the M-II every time, no questions asked. That said, I find the M-1000s incredibly gaudy, and I've played a few (not many) LTD 1000 series guitars that were total dogs, but never an M-Series that was anything less than phenomenal.
What Evolution says is true go for the one you like.
For high gain and casual playing with active pickups, the LTD might be good for getting a new one and have it aged along with your playing.
For changin pickups to passive and play lesser than hi-gain tones, the MII can help.
Personally, I would go for the MII. Just make sure there is a good guitar tech shop around you to service your used guitar.
I would take the M-II. Quality guitars get better with age.
