[ESPVIPERCAMO]

nice fx

[FloydNL]

Damn, I love those FX's! Really gotta try one...

[Rex Rocker]

dammit... i want an FX so bad... how do you like the neck on that one? :)

[rockinhockey]

Yeah those FXs look amazing. congrats man.

[BooYah!]

what P.Us?

[metalhobo]

should be 81b/60n

[tallicag20]

the neck is great...slides very good...the only thing that bothers me is that when a ordered it the ESP site said that the guitar had spretzel tuner...and mine doesn't....i just went to check and the site changed it to Grover tuners...anyway I love this ax and anyone who thinks about getting one should!!

[White Bish0p]

That is one Killer looking axe. Congratz man.

God Bless You.

[Det Brinnande Röda]

Nice score.. see you got a pretty nice top too!!

[TREVA]

humm If it was mine I will spray all over it some transparent painting.
Maybe blue or purple,not covering the wood ,just giving it some color .
But that's just my taste .

[BigSillyGoose]

Very cool!

[ZephMan13]

I like how the maple top is flamed where the neck runs through, br00tal:

[DUKE]

not helping my GAS at all, but congrats!

[fazrulx2n]

congratz on ur LTD, a good buy.

i wonder how the FX-260 sounds, do any of u guys tried it out? FX-260 has the best spec for it price range, compare to other LTD with same price...

[Christah]

What does the Emg 60 sound like in the neck? I've played the 85 on my friends viper and I was just wondering how they compare.

[tallicag20]

the 60 plays very well...sounds awsome...if you want an example just little to any clean Metallica songs lol...its the same

[Azrael416]

Tits!

[Metfuk]

Looks good!
I'd love to play one.
I've only played the EX400 and I really liked the neck on that one!

[takesnogutz666]

sweet dude nice buy, hows the balance on that thing?

[Thrashman]

I bet its the same as the EX's, neck heavy as hell, so better get a wider strap and move the strapbutton, so that it is at the neck heel..

[tallicag20]

it does neck dive a little but i just put my right arm on the tail of the body and its ok...
i bet if i bought another better strap it wouldn't dive

[takesnogutz666]

damn... if i moved the strap button to the neck heel would it halt the dive completely?

[tallicag20]

probably but i'm not the one to tell you where to put the new strap button...and personally i wouldnt move the SB on a new guitar like this one...id like to keep it like it is...

[Metfuk]

damn... if i moved the strap button to the neck heel would it halt the dive completely?

I'm pretty sure it would.
But if you don't want to move it yet...try one of those straps that are rough on the inner side so that it won't slip over your shoulder.

[daddydoomsday]

The balance isnt really that bad, since I had mine I've gotten real used to it and it dont bother me one bit. A better strap does help though. Plus I think all explorers look better with the strap button where its at. Behind the neck looks kinda funny and feels weird.

[Madness]

That one is pretty sweet! I've got one on the way, should be here tomorrow or Mon. I hope the top looks that good.

I think I will never get used to a neck heavy guitar. It's so annoying! Luckily I don't own a neck heavy guitar now.
I do agree with the strap location for Explorers. Even though I own 2 Gibson Explorers with the strap buttons at the back. They do provide a good balance but it makes the guitar front heavy.
So I guess a rough strap is the only way to go if you have your strap button on the the classic Explorer position (a la FX series).

[frantic77]

thats hot man,congas

[the run away]

kick ass guitar bro'
i love the FX's

Congrats

[Benedict Arnold]

[apprentice]
