My favorite guitar (I own) is the ESP LTD Viper 2005. I swapped the EMG with Duncans and did a few tweaks as well. Not only does it look awesome and sexy, it feels, plays and sounds terrific. It's one of those guitars you have to struggle with if played upstanding. I like that feeling and would go so far as to say it is the best sounding and playing guitar out of my seven. I also recently achieved a Squier CV 50 Stratocaster and have been blown away since then, due to the low price and overall superb quality of that guitar. Do like it a lot, especially after customizing it. Greetz
