What is a fair/good price for one of these? I played a LTD version and was impresssed at the bite and sustain. Does anybody here own one? I played it side by side with my Bullseye RI and it held its own. I was wondering how much better the ESP version might be?The Bullseye of course played better,but the LTD was not a bad guitar it's down fall is the baseball bat style neck.

Re: ESP M1 Bengal
I think the LTD version of the M1 tiger (GL-600MT) is the closest of all Lynch's LTD 'signatures' to the real thing, in that the fingerboard is maple, the body is maple, real duncan Screamin demon, and real org floyd rose. All these specs match the ESP version. (funny, I can't find this LTD model on the ESP website anymore).
I have a ESP M1 Tiger, a custom shop logo on back of headstock (meaning it has the org floyd rose), also has George's signatures on top of body and back of body. Mint condition, paid $854 with case and shipping about 4 years ago. Going prices on ebay are about low of $850 to around $1150.

As far as the baseball bat neck that everyone says these have, I think the necks on my ESP kamikazis are thicker. The M1 neck feels pretty comfortable to me.
For reference, here's some measurements:
Jackson USAs (various):
width at nut: 1.613"
width at 12th fret: 2.026"
thickness at 3rd fret: .745"
thickness at 12th fret: .805"
Charvel Japan Model A Plus:
width at nut: 1.751"
width at 12th fret: 2.058"
thickness at 3rd fret: .780"
thickness at 12th fret: .825"
ESP M1 Tiger:
width at nut: 1.753"
width at 12th fret: 2.047"
thickness at 3rd fret: .810"
thickness at 12th fret: .845"
So yes, it's wider and thicker than the average Jackson neck, but isn't too much different than the Charvel Model A Plus (and you don't hear anyone complaining about the necks on those!). -
