welp! got a ltd mh-250 for 200 bucks

Not too bad man. Personally I would've saved up a little more money to get a higher end LTD so I could get more quality features. But whatever floats your boat man! Congrats!
 
I have an MH-250 NT and I absolutely love it. It's pretty much my main guitar. My only gripe is it's agathis body. I would prefer mahogany, and with the EMG 85 I have in it it can sound a bit bassy for my tastes, but I'm going to throw an 81 in it soon to see if that will cut some of the fat off. Awesome guitar.
 
haha yeah. I wouldn't have got it if the normal resale wasn't around 300... I really just need a guitar that I don't have to worry about when I'm playing live.
