Loved the comparison of Toyota and Lexus to ESP and LTD haha, was literally thinking something along those lines right before you mentioned that. I got to say though, my LTD fitted with a Fishman Fluence Modern and Gotoh 1996t makes it feel like an ESP, minus the sanded neck of course lol.
Man, i have say that i've watched so many your videos without understanding that the person who uploaded them was only you! Including "Trail of broken hearts" acoustic version, "Pulsation" cover, Laiho's clinic, many DragonForce lives, many Laiho videos, and many other videos! Thank you very much for that! Love your videos🔥
I own several japanese ESPs as well as an Ltd EC1000 and have owned a lot of other Ltds in the past, some good some bad. To me MIJ is always worth it at least playability and feel wise. I just got an Edwards Scythe and to me it's a great alternative. You get the feel, quality of fretwork etc of an EII or SS ESP with 95% of the QC for the price of the Ltd version. Absolute bargain. I'm gonna extensively mod mine next week putting an OFR instead of the FR1000 and I'm gonna sell the ESP MM-04 preamp as well as the EMG pickup to fit a killswitch and an EMG 57 instead to fit my needs better but that's it, otherwise it's great and I would always pick this instead of an Ltd Hexed for example even though they still are very good guitars.
