Hello the ESP team!

So I was thinking about getting one of these, i found a great deal about used one. My only concern is the Floyd Rose, so first of all what is it made of, and does it stay in tune well? 

I really hope you could answer quickly

Hi Julius, Our 200 series are built to be affordable but function well. When it comes to Floyd Rose systems, they are fairly expensive so you will not find a high end Floyd Rose system on a guitar at this price point. Yes , the Floyd Rose bridge that comes on the 200 series will function and can stay in tune, however it will not perform as well as a Floyd Rose 1000 series or a Floyd Rose Original. Those systems cost almost as much as this whole guitar's cost, but are well worth it if you want the best quality. The difference basically comes down to the materials and build. The LTD by FR bridge on this 200 series uses zinc metal from a mold, but the Original and 1000 series use machined steel.

which is better this or the m-200fm for metal, I love them both and am having a hard time choosing.

Hi Jack, Both of these models are perfect for metal or rock. It's really up to you, which one you feel more comfortable playing. The M-series has a little wider neck, that is really the only technical difference. Other than that, they basically have the same spec, just look a little different. So if you have a chance, try playing both shapes to see which one feels more comfortable to you.
