LTD: GL-200MT

This tiger-like LTD guitar is the more affordable version of ESP's M-1 Tiger, one of George Lynch's signature models. The GL-200MT features a lonely humbucker (ESP's LH-50 model) & volume knob so it's constant limitations against your playing capabilities. The tone is kept bright by the maple fretboard as seen here. Tonal variation is still possible via knocking off the volume knob in preferred decrements but you'd lose drive along the way; this is an expected trade-off, seasoned players will tell you just that. However, the GL-200MT is a joy to play as the feel is much above average, only the tone here would make or break the instrument preference. Recommended but not for the fussy.

Product availability: Davis GMC
List: $750

I presume you have less LTD or ESP in your collection than Ibanez.Why?Do you fancy Sigs?

ibanez is something that works for me personally. they suit my hands & playing style, it's the brand name i keep going back to despite having others. ESPs are now my thing as well, but unlike ibanez, they don't all appeal to me, planning to acquire more in time to come.

no signature models for me thusfar (ok maybe Les Paul)- they feature the endorser specs which are not what i want, however enticing they may be.
