Re: ESP/MII Urban Camo

i haven't played an urban camo, but for a bout 6 years, all i played were ESP MII deluxe and MII custom guitars. they are great. they balance nice, feel fast, look good. all of mine had OFR trems, seymour duncan pickups, gotoh tuners, etc...they easily compare to jackson DK-1 guitars. if ther truth be told, i actually prefer the ESP MII over the jackson DK-1.

i wish i still had my ESP's, actually. i sold them all off when i switched to jackson. my last ESP went in trade toward my solar PC-1.

excuse my recollections...

the ESP plays nice. nobody can really argue that in my opinion.

The MII Urban Camo is a neckthru.

I wonder how much ESP M-II models weight? I once tried few but don't really remember.

I believe the bodies are alder... so they are pretty light I would imagine.

They are great guitars, but I believe ESP is going to discontinue the camo line so if your intersted I would look into it relatively quickly.

Also, I would avoid buying a used one unless it's relatively new. When they amde the older ones, the paint pixture wasn't the best and the white in the camo yellowed pretty bad. the newer ones fixed the problem though.

I like these guitars alot, but I'm not really a floyd guy. I'm more into ESP horizons.

Re: ESP/MII Urban Camo

The MII UC plays exceptionally well...the neck is very silky to the touch. Niccolai is right, they are discontinuing this finish for '06 on the USA models. I have also heard complaints about the yellowing of the white color.
