Good! I have one coming tomorrow. And ESP did clarify, they come with Duncan 78's. Not sure why all the dealers' descriptions say Duncan Distortion. I'm actually curious how these 78's sound. They only run 9k, so definitely not high output, which I'm used to with my SG, (and prefer). But, again, I have an unused TB-5 if all else fails.I did as well—and that profile isn’t supposed to be “thin” at all
Looking forward to hearing your take on the neckGood! I have one coming tomorrow. And ESP did clarify, they come with Duncan 78's. Not sure why all the dealers' descriptions say Duncan Distortion.

Factor in SS frets, and a hardshell case. I got mine cheaper than $1699. I would have never bought it at that.I love it! I wonder why it is so expensive? I just got the ESP LTD Mirage 87' and it is the best playing guitar I own except for my 88' Charvel. They feel very similar though.. But it basically has the same specs as the Desert Eagle. That paint job and headstock must cost more to make.. or George is getting a big cut.
Me too!Looking forward to hearing your take on the neck![]()
$3k?$3K+ for a $1200 guitar ... pass.

Yeah, $1699. But there's discounts out there. I got a discount on mine, plus had rewards cash.Aren’t these listed at 1700?

Might want to poke around Japanese dealers that ship to the US, a bunch of Edwards Lynch sigs came out including the Kami-I
The Edwards has my attention. I love the way the original colors pop and I know the quality. Resale may not be on par and that is the only hesitation. Also takes a certain type of buyer for these. The instrument looks good though. ( Not so much the playing in this clip, just looking at the guitar). Downside is truss rod is apparently not accessible without taking the neck off which sucks in Canadian climate where my guitars seasonally need adjustment.
Yeah, the spoke wheel truss rod adjustment is a big plus for me.. Taking necks off is a no-go for me.
They can be great if you know you're getting a new, unmolested guitar. I got my '61 SG for $1699, and had $150 rewards cash.. Then 15% off the ESP, and rewards cash from the SG.I love MF

Agree 100%- I've got a LTD Kami IV and the finish/graphics on it really impressed me.I've got one -- love it as much as my ESP Kamikaze. Less weight makes it easier to play. I changed the Duncan Distortion to a BK Rebel Yell. The finish is not cheap at all
probably talking a different currency?? .. Here in New Zealand if you could get one in our local shops it would be around $3.500nz dollars$3k?
