Hey Ridho, this will not have glow in the dark side dots. Pricing will be available on our site for customers within the U.S. if you are outside of the U.S. you will need to reach out to your local ESP distributor regarding pricing in your region.

How much thicker is the neck on the H models with the "Thin U" neck compared to the M models with the "Extra thin U" neck? Thanks!

Thanks for the answer.

I'm worried about it. I have h-1001fm stblk and it is a fantastic instrument, without the slightest flaw. It's made in Korea. What is the guarantee that I will come across a model made in Indonesia and the quality will be the same? What is your control process for both countries?
Is the H3-1000fr model also made in Korea and Indonesia?
I am sorry to doubt, but unfortunately various cases have already been described for the 1000 series from Indonesia.

Hey Krzysztof, quality control will be the same process for both countries, nothing is changed. The cases you are probably hearing about are individuals that received one instrument from either factory and base a claim on that. I've been at ESP for nearly ten years and have gone through nearly 40,000 instruments in my time here, I try and stress that this won't be an issue and that the instruments will be held to the same quality standards regardless of what factory they are from but it's hard to convey to people. If you are that concerned about the quality of your instrument perhaps it is time for you to move up to an ESP USA or an ESP Original instrument.

Of course you are right, I should switch to ESP. The truth is that I'm the man for whom you created the LTD brand (price). As I need a good, trouble-free instrument, I chose the deluxe series and I would like to stay with it because it is for me. You almost convinced me, maybe I'll trust you again, maybe.) I'm a fan of your works and I would like it to stay that way, really. Greetings from Poland.

Hey Krzysztof, I'm not so much trying to convince as I am trying to inform, from there you are free to come to your own conclusions. I have a few ESPs and LTDs at home, the ESPs being Japanese made have superb quality and the LTDs I have are not far behind that, made in Korea, Indonesia, and China. For my LTD instruments, I care less about what country is on the back of the headstock and more about how the instrument feels.

Ok I understand. For me it is also more important, as well as well-made technical details and parameter stability. That is why I am considering the 1000 series, which has at least decent equipment (example: FR 1000 and not special, tonepros in the current and not the TOM standard, good fretworks etc.). My local technician had nothing to improve on my h-1001, after a slight alignment of frets by doing a set-up. These are my expectations, nothing more.
