The difference between 400's and 401's?
The difference between 400's and 401's?
Hey ESP, was on the forum awhile back and lost my PW. It's great to be back. I was wondering, what is the difference between the new 401s? I know some guitars have new hardware and such, but I don't notice anything different on the viper 401. Is there any difference?
Indonesian quality has gone up considerably in past years... Also Korean production prices have gone up considerably this year as well.
They've gone up so much in fact that the Korean made instruments would cost almost as much as the Japanese or American made instruments, at which point it becomes silly to manufacture a line if imports that will be almost int he same price bracket as the USAs (or for ESP the Japanese made ones).
As has been said before, I've seen and played some great Indonesian guitars and these factories are pumping out a much higher quality than they were a few years ago.
I'd definitely still want to try it out before I bought it though.
401s are made in indonesia now.
