1. ESP James Hetfield Truckster (masterofpuppets would like this one)
2. LTD Viper
3. LTD EC-1000 (I prefer this one)

Please say why you think i should get it not just "it is pretty"
 
I don't know anything bout guitars lol . Can't help you there. The 3rd one I would pick cause it's the nicest.

*EDIT* I didn't vote though...

*ANT*
 
I say EC-1000. However, my true vote would be for an american made fender strat. Why? because I am classy like that.

(speaking of, does anyone want to buy a left handed fender strat?) :D
 
get the gibson sg!...its the black one in the second pic
 
naw thats not a gibson sg, its body is like it tho if you saw it in real life you wouldnt think it was
 
Jackson and Gibson both sued the crap out of ESP in the mid 90's and won. As a result their ESP(Jap made artist series guitars)/LTD(made in Indonesia and Korea) flagship guitars (Les Paul/Ecllipse, SG/Viper, Explorer/Exp) all had to be redesigned to what they are today. Personally, I like the ESP look over the Gibsons (except the Explorer. I hate the Exp).
 
yeah your right master, i like the viper more than the sg, i didnt get the truckster tho sorry i got the EC 1000
 
I would have done the same thing. I really like the Ec's. I like the LTD Truckster, but James' other artist series axe's are soooo much better. I'm holding out for a JH-1 or JH-2 when I can actually afford to buy one. Last 1 I saw on eBay went for 4 grand. Haven;t seen a 2 on in a while, and I've yet to see a 3 or a Grynch.

......my future wife is going to hate me. Lol.
 
yeah i was lookin at the KH ones too those look pretty cool but wouldnt it be ill to have James' flying v with the green lightning
 
I started playing guitar earlier this year myself. I have Guitar Hero I and II and decided to give the real thing a try! I've not played GH since I got my Jay Turser strat-copy guitar.

I personally love the black archtop there - the last one. SG's don't do anything for me.

And if you buy from a shop they can set it up for you - buying online (as I did) you get the guitar from a box and have to take it in to a shop to have it set up anyway, so whatever money you save online gets spent at a guitar shop, usually anyway. Plus, you can try them out at a guitar shop.

I actually want to get a LP style gee-tar here soon, in the under$300 range, though, so it'll probably be another Jay Turser or a used Epiphone prolly.

Before I die, I want a Dimebag Darrell model. Wicked sick. Hey, and what about the Gibson Corvus? [link=hyperlink url]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3865/1712/1600/gibsoncorvusIII.1.jpg[/link]

A Truckster is not a stage guitar. You buy an artist series for the sake of having one, not to play on stage. You don;t want to put a guitar like that through the regular wear and tear of gigs.
