1996 ESP M-II Deluxe C.S.

[muttznmongrelz]

I made the mistake of walking into MGR day before yesterday and the first thing I heard is..."we were hoping you would come in, we just got a * MINT * 1996 ESP M-II Deluxe with Maple Fretboard, Seymour Duncans and Original Floyd, as well as the ESP Case". Picked it up yesterday..."Case Queen"...doesn't look like it's ever been played. It'll be getting a SD Lil '59 in the neck slot and a 37mm Big Brass Block soon.

Re: 1996 ESP M-II Deluxe C.S.

Thanks! It was kinda freaky finding it as I honestly went to MGR that evening to see if they had any Maple Fretboard Floyd Equipped Guitars and damned if they hadn't just gotten it in that afternoon.

One Piece Maple Fretboard Neck w/Abalone Dot Inlays and Reverse Headstock, Alder Body, SD JB Trembucker, Recessed Original Floyd Rose w/Arm, Strap Locks and the Original ESP Case w/the Big Chrome "ESP" Logo...it was too much to resist!

I don't blame you, I would've been smitten like a MF.

one killer axe that's ready to go! if that's a stock ESP rail at the neck, it's not bad. you're so lucky it didn't have an old ESP floyd-type bridge, those things are junk.

Re: 1996 ESP M-II Deluxe C.S.

Thanks! No, the ESP Rail in the neck isn't bad, but it's an easy swap to something "better". I wouldn't have considered the guitar if it had anything other than an OFR as the bridge - I've had some good Licensed Floyds (WD KKT-3 and Takeuchi to name a couple) but nothing beats an OFR.

Re: 1996 ESP M-II Deluxe C.S.

Thanks everyone! Went ahead and ordered the SD Lil '59 this evening, got a "purchase points/repeat customer discount" on it at MGR and new only ran me $35.00. Wish I could get prices like that every day. Just have to snag a Big Brass Block.

Re: 1996 ESP M-II Deluxe C.S.

Nice... I wound up selling the Peavey Blues Classic Amp yesterday and have actually grown to like this one. Thinking I am going to let the 1995 Gibson LP Special that I just picked up go instead of the ESP M-II.

Re: 1996 ESP M-II Deluxe C.S.

Suppose to receive the SD Lil '59 tomorrow and ordered the Floyd Upgrades 32mm Big Brass Block this evening. Waiting....sucks.
