Yeah I am huge ESP fan of course :) I have two Gibby LPC's but I love my ESP's more than anything especially the custom shop explorers with maple necks and rosewood baords like the EET FUK Explorer I have. Gives a real bright shimmery clean tone and beefy distortion from the mahoganybodies

Sorry for the big pix: :)

Fernandes makes cheap **** now compared to in the mid-90's. However, retailers that still DO have them in stock price them at about $3000-4000 USD depending on the graphics/electronics, like this, for example:

opps, did not read subject line carefully I thought it read Japanese Fan, did not see "... Instrument ..."

Nevertheless ...

I've got two Ibanez roadstar II's One is an 84 rs525 the other is an 86 rr440. I also have a Quest Atak I. All three guitars are amazing. I know a lot of people will disagree with me but for the type of music we play these guitars are way better than my 69 SG or 74 Les Paul custom. I pretty much prefer the old Ibanez guitars over the new ones too. That just means I haven't found the right new one though. I have guys play my 86 roadstar with a floydrose, They can't believe how nice it plays. I traded that guitar for a $250 tattoo and it plays nicer IMO than guitars in the $2000 range. It is the best guitar I have.
