1000T?

yes, sorry didnt mention. 1000T/ctm I like the thicker body.. axe is a great player!




I see the Edwards' mentioned too. I used to have an Edwards John Sykes model. It was killer! One of those seller's remorse situations.

You have good taste dude, I've had one of each of those too, not anymore, but yeah. Thanks for reminding me. My Kami was a CS neckthru, heavier than an LP, insanely bright. The best one of mine was the tiger, then the KH (that's an MII, but yeah).

the Sunburst Tiger or the M-1 Tiger? the single-pup config of the M-1 Tiger w/ the maple board is cool and something I used to think I would've liked. my SBT seems a little heavier than the Kami, but it's the better player of the two...the super bright maple makes them excellent choices for the RTM pickup.

when I picked up that M-II, I didn't even realize how closely it was to the KH model. I wasn't even a fan of black guitars at that point, but it just felt right and played right from the first time I picked it up. it's my test subject for all the hybrids I've built.

Sunburst, it really was beautiful too. The neck on mine wasnt as wide as the Kami/serpent/skull & snakes that I've played. I liked it better, shoulda kept that one.

I've played a couple other kami's, mine was a real oddbal, not even close to a standard, especially weight wise. It's maple body/neckthru with an ebony board. The guy that ordered it was a lynch fanboy, he had everything, even the green sawtooth kami. He had it for two weeks and took a 50% loss on it because it was so different. I got it for $1500, complete with a lynch sig on it. My buddy has it now.

The mahogany reverse serpent is the baddest of them all if you ask me. The guy who owned the shop I used to buy ESP's at had one, he left it leaned up against the wall and it got snapped, allegedly. That thing was badass though.

Oh man, I just remembered the first viper he got too, the body was thicker, like an LP, and alder if I remember right, holy hell that thing was badass. I shoulda bought that thing.

Ones I have now:

This has no pickups currently:

Had this for a few days (body shape did not agree with me):

Had the blackouts metal in this before I sold it:

SH-5 Custom in the bridge of this one when I sold it:

JB/59 in this when I sold it, sounded mean in D:

Just picked this one up, it's got the stock ESP pickups in it. I'm thinking about some EMGs maybe though O.O! lol

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

My ESP. It looks to have been a custom shop order. Ash body, maple top, ebony fretboard. The stock pickups were ESP hot dual rail pickups. I didn't think they sounded very good so in the guitar now are a pair of Li'l 59's and a Tone Zone S. That's a great pickup combination. I'm very happy with the sound now.

That's hot. Are those ninja's neck heavy? I had the second generation Black hard tail LTD, and i was very bummed when it went south when i strapped it on. needless to say i didnt have it for very long, neck dives annoy me very much.

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

Used to own this LTD ST-203 but a friend talked me into selling it off (to him for a good price).

Very very nice. Can you tell me a little about that one; mainly tone and feel?

Here's mine. The neck pickup is stock. The bridge is a GFS Modern Lead model. It's basically a hotter Lil 59. I changed the pots from 250k to 500k for the GFS and the neck pickup sounds much better with them. I got rid of the cheap 3-way switch and installed a Fender 3-way. I am going to change the pickups but haven't decided to what yet.

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

Here's my LTD EC400VF. I've swapped the original Seymour Duncan JB & '59 set for a set of DiMarzios, a Tone Zone in the bridge and 36th Anniversary PAF in the neck. I also changed the original chrome knobs for a set of more vintage looking gold plastic knobs.

How are those as far as the sound and tone ? I'm seriously thinking of getting one to go with my Viper 100-FM. Right now, AMS is selling the Maple Fretboard model version for only $249.99. I guess they're overstocked with them.

My 2002 ESP MV-200:

These pics were taken in December 2006; the neck pickup, a DiMarzio HS-2, is now at the neck of my Carvin DC135 while that Powered by Lace bridge humbucker is still there. As of September of last year this guitar has been pretty much out of commission; it is sitting in its gig back without any electronics and no neck pickup and no strings.

I've always liked mavericks. I wish they still made them.
