show your ESP's and LTD's with passive pickups

[rumblebox]

like 90% of them have EMG's. let's see the ones that dont.

i love PRS customs, but i can't afford one and dont like SE's. so this is the next best thing IMO.

i bought this one as an empty shell off ebay and filled it.

this one came with EMG's and blackchrome hardware, but i couldnt pass up this quilt top.

i dont have any other recent pics of the M100, because photobucket decided it didnt like anything i had taken in the past 3 months and deleted them all.

I have a all white(no pinstripes) alexi 200 its kind of heavy but it came with a dimebucker all for $250 so I got a good price on it considering id been wanting one. Sometimes I can play it for hours sometimes i get back pain after 15 minutes. I have the 25th anniv reign in blood but thats active and I have the EX-50 that I am in the process of stripping. Almost done, but they use heavy layer of polyurethane on it. It was my first guitar, but it sounds great, and looks killer, will replace pickups though. I think I found a guy with a routing machine, so hopefully I can arrange for a trem on it. But I think they are indeed fantastic guitars. I'll try to get that done so I can show it off. Changed the face of it, but i've striped it 85% so far to the bare wood. The first hole is for a kill switch and then the volume might be a taper pot with push pull for reversing the killswitch to off and on when you press it. Hopefully I can pull it off.

The output is on the face of the guitar now, i've played it before I stripped it, and it rocked. Pretty good for a guitar I had sitting around in my backyard shed at my mom's house for over a year. If anyone has any ideas what i should do with the old output jack, hole is about a inch in diameter. I was thinking of leds or a way to make it smoke but nah. I just dont know.

I've always always greatly admired that Viper.

Gotta love that they are offset.

I am slightly bothered by that strip of inlay on most of their guitars, luckily my slayer guitar has the best inlays in the world, possibly. herp a derp

Thanks. They make a distressed/relic'd Vintage Plus Strat, but I don't believe they make a Vintage Plus Tele anymore.

now THAT'S pretty god damn sexy. especially with 4 knobs.

Re: show your ESP's and LTD's with passive pickups

Thanks! I think it's aesthetically perfect now, very nice to look at. Nothing wrong with the playability or tone either! Pickups are Custom & Jazz, both unmodded

Awesome!!! Great looking and great pup choice! Was there much prob getting 4 knobs in there? Routing needed?? I had a LTD EC400AT gold top once. Tho Im not a goldie fan, that guitar was killer! I sold it cuz I wanted a more standard knob config and Ive longed for that guitar ever since...

I do have one of the 1000ctms (I think thats the model. Has the standard LP body cuts) now and its a beast. Just rather have passives in it..

Re: show your ESP's and LTD's with passive pickups

not particularly current photos. but the current configs are:


the SBT and the Kami both have RTMs in the bridge and STK-S4s in the neck.

the Serpent has a TB-4 in the bridge and a STK-S5 in the neck.

the M-II has a JB/C hybrid in the bridge and a J/'59A4 hybrid in the neck.
