That is overpriced. But it's probably a good guitar, other than the bridge. I have zero interest in 80s graphics or pointy headstocks... yet you can't beat the playability of those necks and the refined contours. I briefly had a weird version, configured with two single coils and an ebony board like a Mirage Custom, but a bolt neck and labeled Mirage Deluxe. The bridge saddles broke strings left and right, not sure all these years later if it was user error or a bad design. I've never been much of a string breaker. It was a really good guitar otherwise.  |

Looks like this one is a licensed Floyd Rose affair but all the "real" (read: expensive) ESP guitars I see (the spendy ones) use Floyd Rose originals.
But if that guitar has been "played in" I bet it's a killer player. Decent price too.

I think it was the same bridge as your linked guitar. If I recall correctly, the saddles peaked on a very small narrow length of metal rod which acted as a sort of roller, but the unwound strings ground against the rod and snapped. But now I can't find clear evidence of that saddle design so who knows what I'm remembering. Either way, strings broke uncommonly for me. I was younger and dumber, maybe I was just doing guitar wrong. I can say, of all the mainstream manufacturers, the ESP "Thin U" neck is one of the most consistently comfortable necks for my tastes, a really nice medium-thin with a modern happy medium shape.  |
