Some teaser pics of my ESP Custom MII being built

I bet that bridge is super comfortable to lean on.

Way nice build, man. Congrats.

Fucking nice! Tell us a little bit more about the bridge. Why did you choose this bridge?

I was going to have it string-thru since to me that is the perfect setup. The string tension feels right, intonation is easier to adjust, changing strings is a breeze, and you can use a heavier right hand to play more aggressively and the guitar will take it. My guy at ESP that I call "007" suggested the Hannes and I trust him so we added it on to the MII. We'll see how it goes when it arrives and I put that fiddle through hell week.

Btw, the X2N pickup is a bad mofo. Very underrated. Nice choice.

That's friggin' purdy!

By the way, you must like your tone snappy, huh?

Alder, maple, ebony and an Evolution neck pup....Beeeeee-rrrright!
My Charvel So-Cal had that, minus the neck-through and ebony...was a lot happier with an Air Norton in the neck, but the Evo did give awesome seperation and definition. No room for error with that pup.

Yeah setups like that can be difficult but I love punchy notes. On a sloppy day though it can be embarrassing.

Definitely. I use them in my RR1 too.

Beautiful! Congratulations!

What do you guys think of that deep dish input jack?

I love the idea. I know Lynch did that on a few of his guitars. My initial reaction is that it's coming out at an odd angle, but it's probably not very different (angle) than a regular edge mounted jack.

That is totally badass. I love ESP and this is so perfect with the way you ordered it. Congrats, it's going to be an amazing guitar
