Re: the ESP rebrandings, what I heard happened is that the ESP Standard series didn't used to be sold in Japan -- all that was in Japan was the LTD lines and ESP Custom Shop stuff. ESP started having a problem with ESP Standard series getting imported back into Japan and being sold as Custom Shop instruments by various unscrupulous sellers, so they rebranded the Standard series as E-II to prevent this.
E-IIs typically go for around $1800-2200 USD in the U.S., so if they cost $3k in Europe, you're definitely overpaying.
