hey fellas, im been looking into these and i was wondering if anybody owns or has owned 1...the one im looking at is all maple with an ebony board.. mainly whats got me interested....im very curious to play a strat type with the ebony..how are the necks ?

I loved mine - fit/finish was comparable to my USA Jacksons.
I assume you are talking bolt-on? I had several of their neck-thru's as well...
Neck is a cross between Jackson and Ibanez IMO.
Weakest point is getting used to their Sinclair trem and if anything happens, finding parts (though there are currently some on eBay). i had zero isseus with mine.
Good luck- they are great guitars

I had a flip flop green/blue. It was awesome, except I hated the old ESP floyd. They used these screws to hold down the strings and if you lost them you were, well....screwed. I think the routed fit regular floyds though and many were switched. I still wish I had my old one.

Hey Armitage this is a pretty old posting but was just curios if you still had the Red ESP "The Mirage Custom"? Do you want to sell it?

Please let me know. Thanks!!!
