ESP M-II Urban Camo

This guitar screams heavy metal. As of 2009, ESP doesn't make the urban camo version of the M-II as standard. It's an expensive custom shop order, but you can find it sometimes on Ebay.

The camouflage finish covers the entire body with no seams. Incredible painting job.

Alder body, a pair of EMG 81s and original Floyd Rose made by Schaller. Notice that I have ChapStick between the knife edges and trem posts. ChapStick helps maintain tuning stability with pull-ups incredibly well. Contrary to popular belief, WD-40 and 3-in-1 oil don't make any difference. ChapStick is the magical product for tremolo pull-up problems (assuming the strings are fully stretched and there's nothing wrong with the locking nut.)

Notice the shims under the 6th string saddle of the Floyd Rose. Because I play with really low action overall, I keep the 6th and 5th strings about the same height as the 4th string to avoid buzz.

Killer pointed headstock and beautiful white binding around the entire neck

Despite the amazing features, this guitar has really poor fret leveling. Some notes have substantial buzz with low action, and one note on the 1st string is actually dead.

Neck-thru construction. I've added Schaller strap locks. I think an expensive guitar like this should come with either Dunlop or Schaller strap locks from the factory.
