Re: Jackson vs. ESP
I believe you're meaning Jackson Usa as you already stated ESP which I take to be the japanese shop?
The quality is commonly thought to be equal, although there are people who favor the other, naturally.
The cost issue isn't as black and white as it's said to be often, either. New Jacksons cost 50% extra to new ESPs around here.
I bought a new ESP a while ago, and looked at jackson too but couldn't find any ay comparative prices. It's been a really great axe, no problems.
