I ESPeed on myself!

[Newc]

Yes, I've crossed over to the Dork Side and bought an ESPee:

Well, it's really a Killer, but they're made by ESPee, so close enough, right? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

This thing rocks. It plays great, even with no setup work done on it yet. Haven't worked the trem so I don't know what'll happen to it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

25 1/2" scale, 22 frets, maple/maple neck, non-recessed trem, 1 5/8" nut, and the brightest Ferrari Red I've seen since Big Red. It looks orange in the pics, but lemme tell ya - it's the sluttiest red I've ever seen [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

All it needs is to have the neck and board satinized or stripped/oiled and it'd be a killer Killer [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

And new pickups. Not sure what they put in, but they're kinda weak. Of course, it does depend on your individual taste, right?
Anyway, for me, a pointy axe deserves a Distortion, so I'll go with that [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The controls are standard V/T/3-way, but the mini-toggle down on the end is a bypass for the volume knob. I guess so you can switch from rolled-back-volume to full-on and back again? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: I ESPeed on myself!

I wonder if a Charvel pointyhead will fit? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: I ESPeed on myself!

The pickups are more than likely lh100 or lh200s

I love Killer guitars and own couple of them(Scary and Fascist)and will add several more to my collection very soon. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
VERY hard to find though.
That direct switch can also be used when you have problem hitting the vol knob while playing some fast song like "S.D.I." [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
So you can keep your vol at 10.

Re: I ESPeed on myself!

Congrats Matt. I really like the older ESP stuff. I have more ESP's than any other brand. The older ones are damn good copies of Jacksons when they were in there hey day.

Cool guitar, Akira is a great player too! Enjoy!

Re: I ESPeed on myself!

I'm loving the neck profile - reminds me a lot of the SD Star I had, except for the glossy finish.

That can easily be removed, though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

And I put a Distortion in it last night - sounds waaaay better. The original pickup didn't have any markings on it, so I don't know what model it was or who made it, but it's a 2-conductor jobbie - one red and one white. It didn't sound horrible, just kinda raspy like a single coil.
I left the neck pickup in it for that reason [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It's not really what you're looking for, but close enough. I didn't have the time to fix it to avatar size. If I'd do that, letters would be too small to read ... I hope you're satisfied with my work. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
