History:
Purchase: Custom ordered from Jason at ESP-Hollywood. They matched the price at musician's friend, so after tax it came to about $1,900.
What I Like About This Unit: For one, it has pretty much the fastest neck I have ever played. 24 extra jumbo frets, two EMG 81 pickups - the highest output pickups they make. The body cut very nicely. I can easily hit E3 (6th string, 24th fret). Superb paintjob - I could shave with this instead of a mirror. Double locking original Floyd Rose (I can bottom/top out the strings all day and it stays tuned). Sweet abalone skull/crossbones inlays... Amazing to play
What I Do NOT Like About The ESP KH-2: As everyone knows, double locking systems are a pain in the ass to string/tune, but this is not a fault of ESP. The guitar is perfect.
KH-2 Quality: Exquisite. There are absolutely no flaws. ESP is a japanese company, but the custom/dlx/signature models are made in Hollywood, CA, and are perfect.
Summary: Customer service kicks ass - most people say otherwise (although, this was a pretty expensive guitar, so maybe that has something to do with it...). The forgot to ship my trem bar with the axe, and I called them up and they fed-ex'd it right away.
Best guitar I have ever owned.
