Thanks, everyone. They are both awesome. I played the ESP Jeff Hanneman the same day that I got the JH-600 and liked it less for a few reasons. 1 - I strongly dislike Kahlers. Something about them rubs me the wrong way and is really uncomfortable for my picking hand and conflicts with my picking style. I think the ( in my personal experiences after owning a Jackson KV-1 with a Kahler APM3310 bridge for a few years ) the Kahlers have less tuning stability than the OFR, and the OFR is ( in my opinion ) one of the if not the best double locking system at the moment. 2 - The EMG SPC control. It makes pickup selecting difficult and I have no need for it. 3 - The ESP was $1000 more. I'm not the biggest Slayer fan out there and although I have a few albums and DVDs it had nothing to do with me purchasing a Hanneman model ( not a big fan of Jeffs solos either ). I really disliked the idea of playing a sig model but after I played it I found that it was exactly what I was looking for in a "solo-ing" or "shred" guitar. Awesome sound, super thin neck, build quality, sound, etc. The only thing I had to do to it was put strap locks on it. But thanks, they are both killer and feel really similar as far as neck profiles go. If you find either the M-350 or a JH-600, check them out ( even though the M-350 has ben discontinued for about 8 years ) ! They're well worth the $$$.
