The ESP Guitar Company

Big difference. If its possible, get the real deal. Better woods and plays better IMO. Either kamikaze-1 or gl600k are pretty good

i like it.. i like that they are alder wood.. if you're going to swap the pickups out anyway.. save the money and go LTD.. i got 3 of them, and i had one ESP version (purple burst) and i liked the LTDs more.. sold the ESP.

The 200k is made out of basswood. The only other LTD the Kami was offered in was the 500k, and I think that was in 2001 or 2002. Those were made out of Alder. I had the Sunburst Tiger version of it, the 500T. Damn fine guitar, but cheap licensed Floyd hardware that couldn't stay in tune and blah ESP designed humbucker eventually made me sell it.

I've grown to like basswood guitars a lot over the last few years, so I may pick one up eventually. I played a 200 series Tiger a couple years ago and was very impressed with how it played stock. Necks are great and probably the best part about those guitars. Maybe a bit overpriced, but definitely not junk by any means.

I think the 600 series Lynch LTD guitars have an Original Floyd on them, but I could be wrong.

To be honest, if you are a high end caliber player, then get a high end caliber Kamikaze. If you're a weekend warrior kind of player, get the 200 series, save some big $$, and be happy with possibly the best bang for the buck guitar you can get. :)
