Alexi ESP guitar question

[metaldeathlord]

What's the difference between the real Alexi signature ESP and the LTD version? I'm looking to buy either or and dont want to spend a few thousand more on the signature version unless there is a huge difference in both. The only difference i've found is the tuners, one is gotoh and the other is grover.

well,common sense says that your not going to pay 2,00 dollars more for something with only better tuners,so the quality of everything must be different.but dude get a RR1 or something.

 

[metaldeathlord]

yeah i just played an RR1 and wasn't too impressed... sounds crazy but i have an rr3
with a seymour-duncan dimebucker in it and i get a better tone out of that

[Earth Breather]

They are the same. And it is actually $1,315.

I compared the yen rates to american dollars, i did all the math.

 

[Blindfold]

yeah but... look:

For confirm our deal,here is the estimated cost of the item.

Jackson Stars guitar
RR-J2SP w/soft case--------------------132,000JPY
Shipping fee(insurance fee included)----14,000JPY
------------------------------------------------------
The total------------------------------146,000JPY


For your reference,here is today's currency conversion.

146,000 Japanese Yen = 1,033.38 Euro

I would get the laiho signature in black, because I like the way the V looks and I like how the ESPs I've played play, including my own. I don't like how the RR guitars look with the offset V, but not 2 full length horns...I think it looks pretty sweet. Though the setup would be different, like something like a H S S or H H and a master volume and 2 tone knobs and just take out those gay inlays. Though I do like Mike Amott's V too...

I don't see the point in importing a Jackson from Japan, there are plenty of good guitars out there much better than those Jackson stars.

 

[Muffin]

About that Jackson RR-J2SP, can you get it in chrome or black hardware?

Yea, although i hate to admit it. A jem would cost $500 less if steve vai's name wasnt slapped on it.

In Europe, i don't think there's RR with 24 frets for less than 1200 Euros...

 

[Blindfold]

^+1, well there even isnt an RR with 24 frets except the jackson stars
