Your use to the ESP with a little bigger scale length and a 22 fret board has taken me a bit of getting use to. It may also be a lot heavier than your current axe and the body style is designed more toward a Les Paul. Going from a strat body style guitar to a LP takes some getting use to. Trust me, I love this Agile that I have but I still find myself reaching for the Jackson. For that kind of dough and a different style guitar, I would definitely feel it before I bought it. Just my opinion of course and good luck with whatever you decide to do bro! Later, steve You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Why not the ESP EC1000....I think that's what it is. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If you don't use it that's cool. I didn't use the tremolo for the first 15 years I played. I HAVE to have one now. I have a ZR trem though....way easier to maintain than a floyd....much more stable too, at least IMO!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ask them to let you sit with it for an hour or so and make a good decision based on how it feels to you. Also, what model MH do you have, 400? I know the 1000's have all that lavish binding..You going to sell it? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Don`t remember if it was a Usa model, but is was quite expensive at least. I think that the hardtails are some of Dean`s more nice looking guitars, and it is truly lovely to play at. You can achieve some great tones with it with the right amp/effects. Also that finish was quite uniqe..KILLER! And I`ve just changed from 24 to 22 frets as well. Cant say I miss them and particularly yet You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Even the inlays are similar to the abalone birds found on the PRS. I would definitely try one if I had the chance... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
