ESP drops the quality?

[Metalblaze]

Does anyone know if the LTD M series will remain with higher model the m-200 (with agathis body) or they're going to produce some higher models (mahogany body) later in the year?

Aren't there the 400s and such with the Ms?

i think they are surgeon. i like the quality of ltd's though, found it remarkable nice.

I am very interested with the LTD MH-400

I'm interested in the MH-400 too. My brother wants to buy an M-302 but since they are discontinued, it is quite difficult to find it here in Greece. As for ESP generally, the built quality is extremely good but the agathis body cannot convince me, if you think that the last year models had mahogany in the higher models and basswood in the mid and low ones.

I played the MH-400NT this past weekend at samash and it plays wonderfully. I am in serious debate on whether to get the MH-400 or a Gibson SG special.

No the higher model is the M-200FM. Too bad. I thought that they might did that because now they produce the Kirk Hammet models in LTD versions that are quite similar to the Ms. But visually the Ms are one step ahead.

on the old forum i wrote a review for the mh-400. basically, great solid guitar. nice sound, and played nice.

You could look at different on-line stores, they might have NOS 302s from previous years... you could also get good bargains on ebay if you're careful... I agree, agathis wouldn't be a good choice if you want a solid-nice sounding guitar... I'm always impressed with the quality of higher-end ltds...

 

[xerxes]

tatooedcarrot about them also. im almost possitive he is a mod on the esp board....

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is agathis and is it a tone wood of any sort at all...?
