When I get pics of my M-Seven I sure will post them here.

Gotta love ESPs! Play, sound and are built extremely well.

Heck yes. Unless something really knocks me off my feet I don't think I'll ever get rid of it

I original had the neck pickup out too but i got tired of the hole

ESP/LTD VIPER 407 (in ESP case - which smells like cotton candy, just like Gibson cases!!! paid 350€):

(mod with switch hat knobs, which seriously add a vintage vibe to it.)

I'm still fighting with the EMG to find something I like about them, but it's almost there (will probably get me a pair of BKPs eventually). The balance is not so good but I can live with it, just like I did with my other SGs. The neck first seemed huge compared to the RG7620, but it took me several hours to get used to it, and now I love it.
The guitar finish is just flawless and the guitar is solid as rock.
I was avoiding the LTD brand because of some common prejudice about Korean made guitars. I was so wrong!

I'm already planning to get me a EC407 or (if money is good) the Eclipse 7 strings about to be launch

I just got my ESP M-II today and it's pretty cool, but there's a small annoying problem with it.

I did buy this second hand, but the thing is pretty much new.
Anyway the problem is the alinement with the strings, when I get pass the 12th fret on the high E string, it literary slips off the fretboard when you fret it. The neck joint seems to have a gap on the side, I can slip one of my Paul Gilbert picks between the neck joint and the neck itself easily.

Is this a flaw with the guitar or was the neck taken off and place back on wrong, but I'd imagine if that were the case it'd aline back up perfectly.

Anyway I'll post pictures pretty soon.

So anyone have any experience with this problem before with ESP or am I one of those lucky ones?

SYLrules88 · 04-06-2012, 05:31 PM

ill be buying an LTD snakebyte this fall. i would go for the ESP version if it weren't $3k

. also gonna put some colored pickups in it yet, havent decided what though. its gonna sound/look great!

Alex6534 · 04-06-2012, 05:45 PM

Hey guys, just saw this thread pop up at the right moment! I have a chance to buy a 1995 ESP M-II Deluxe for £450, is this a good deal? It has a D sonic in the bridge and stock in the single coil neck. I'm not a fan of single coils but might try an fit a mini humbucker in there. What do you guys think? I'm after a guitar that is a lean mean shredding machine

so that primarily means a great neck and comfortable to play. Any thoughts?!

I think some one just did not put the neck on correctly. I would contact a Guitar Tech, or MaxofMetal, to see what to do exactly. It might just need the neck to be positioned correctly. I honestly think some one put the neck on wrong when the previous owner had it. If it is an ESP defect then Contact ESP and see what they can do. I know a couple of people who have had Warranty repairs with ESP and they all had great experiences with it

(Of the two I know they had the necks warped, ESP Replaced the necks on both, no charge, and one of the necks was a custom order neck) ESP does really care about their guitars.

Also I might be Having a Valcano Red Horizon FR Coming soon, I played two today, both were stellar!

phrygian12 · 04-06-2012, 07:29 PM

cool, I'll take the neck off and see if that's the problem.

Kinda hard to see with crappy camera phone, but here's some pictures of how close it is to the edge of the fretboard.

I am almost certain it just needs to be put back into position. That sucks that is came like that man, but like I said it might just need to be put back on. Good luck though man, the M-II Maple is one of my favorite production guitars out there.

phrygian12 · 04-06-2012, 07:53 PM

Yep you were right, I didn't even need to take the screws completely out before it just shifted into place. Now this this guitar 100% awesome. I'm not sure why he did that, maybe it's an old shipping trick or something? because the guitar wasn't even close to being in tune when I took it out of the case.

Yeah this guitar is freak'n awesome, it sounds great, though I personally like the Mirage custom I have more than this M-II, there's something about neck on the Mirage that makes everything feel easy. However this standard series is top notch.

I'll post pictures when I get my camera back, though everyone's seen this guitar a billion times before.

Good to hear it man

Of course we needs pics, it might be an ESP M-II, but it is YOUR ESP M-II

phrygian12 · 04-06-2012, 10:57 PM

I had posted these up in the NGD thread I made.

I'll take better pictures tomorrow when it's during the day.
