OK so I recently bought this exact guitar in Granite sparkle and everything seemed amazing on it until I compared it to my EC-1000 VB.  Why on earth would ESP but a non locking, inferior quality zinc saddle Gotoh TOM and tailpiece on the E-ll and a much better quality brass saddle TonePros TOM and tailpiece on the LTD EC-1000? Someone make it make sense please.  I know the ESP is MIJ and much better build quality overall but cutting cost on one of the most important parts of your tone seems a bit wonky to me being that the E-ll costs an extra $1500.  I went ahead and swapped out the Gotoh for a TonePros because it just makes sense for such a nice guitar.  Thoughts?

    Just scored one of these on a trade. What does “DB” mean and how does it differ from the “BB” models?

      Why is the Granite Sparkle several hundred dollars more than the purple sparkle? It's the same exact model. Just curious.

        Why is the Granite Sparkle more than the Purple Sparkle if it's the same guitar? Just curious before I buy one soon.

          Beautiful but why not smooth the neck-heel like the single-bound ones?
