ESP LTD SC-600 Natural?

white_falcon

Hi lads,
Has anyone played the ESP LTD SC-600 Natural. I'm looking at buying one at the moment, and was just wondering what everyone thinks of it. I'm looking at one that might be going for about 400-500 new

Features:

• Mahogany Body
• Set-Thru 3-Piece Maple Neck
• White Binding on Neck & Headstock
• Rosewood Fingerboard
• SRC at 12th fret inlay w/model name at 24th fret
• Scale: 25.5"
• 24 XJ Frets
• Seymour Duncan JB & Duncan Designed HB-102N Humbuckers
• Volume & Tone Controls
• 3-way Slotted Switch
• Chrome Hardware
• TonePros Locking Bridge w/String-Thru-Body
• Finish: Natural Gloss

I'm looking to buy one for recording and playing at home, and possibly at gigs at a later time.

It wasn't me!

Sounds good to me. If it were a seven-string, Karl Hungus would be challenging you to gladiatorial combat over it.

Don't post about it. The man would go through you for a shortcut on his way to crawl over his own granny to get one.

Personally I think the pups are too close together. It look strange because of this. Don't let me put you off though! Go for it as they say!

I dont see the point in that PUP config. I suppose the middle pickup would give you a nice clean. is that the point? I hope its not been used for distortion :-o !

'tis gone.

Anyway, exciting as the prospect of that guitar is, there's just no burning need for it, the Petrucci does it all.

Aye, was there for two days, somebody finally spotted it and snapped it up. You've a 7-string with piezo already, but for anybody who didn't, that was some damn good value.

But yeah, back on topic...ESP, looks grand...;)

wry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i missed it

white_falcon

whats the most you guys would pay for this guitar.

so far im looking at one new with 3 year warranty for 350 euros delivered...

Karl Hungus

Back on topic, that sounds like a very good deal, White Falcon. If it were a guitar I was interested in, I'd jump on it. It looks to be around €900 new, going from musicstore.de prices.

feylya

€350 is a great deal if it's in good condition!

Tasty lookin' thing, but I don't think I've ever seen a pickup combination / placement like that - what's going on there?

And you all know KH is full of sh1t, he says that after every guitar.

yea tis a weird pickup combination alright. can't imagine it being beneficial to the sound really. ah well. it looks nice, and sure it seems to have a nice enuf set of pickups on it for that too, so feck it!

Benificial no, different and unique....maybe.
