I made a post a few weeks ago about a bad experience with ESP USA so I figured I'd post about a good experience.
So I'm now at least 2 for 3 with ESP USA. Picked up this MII about two weeks ago and have played it a lot since then. It set up easily: just put the relief where I wanted and (after some saddle shimming) put the action where I wanted it, and done. No drama.
Neck is true, fretwork is perfect. Just a very nice guitar. There was a crack in the Ebony board right by the nut but I filled it with super glue and consider it a non-issue and not sure I can pin that on ESP. And I despise trans black cherry but have to take what I can find these days.
This one actually plays somehow better than the USA MII DLX that I got earlier, and I was thrilled with that guitar.
