    Great collection, I’m a big fan of LTD but haven’t had the pleasure of playing an ESP yet. Was that Ibanez your first? I started on one very similar to that from the mid 90s, except mine was red and has a wrap around bridge instead of the tune-o-matic style you have. Thanks for sharing!

      i started out with a samick sg copy that i sold to pay for the explorer when i was in college. then i quickly picked up the ibanez because i wanted something cheap to have around in case i thought i had too much to drink but still wanted to play guitar. oh the college days…

      and yes, gotta love ltd guitars! great guitars at a great price. i got an ec-256 as well that’s like the purple one’s stunt double…still gets the job done though!

      thanks! yeah, i saw the finish and knew i had to have it. the neck isn’t super thin, but isn’t chunky either. it’s got a glossy finish, which may or may not be your thing. i’m not super picky with necks though, unless it feels like a baseball bat…those are the only ones i really have an issue with.

      the matte finish on my ltd m1000 is probably my favorite, along with the profile as well.

    Nice collection, but why 3 double humbucker guitars? Are they all different tunings, or is there something else that differentiates them?
