I've played a couple of the Jackson Scott Ian signature King V models...Very good fit and finish...Good price point...Played a great. Also a good blend of both classic and modern features and aesthetics in my opinion.

I like EMG 81/85, but for a LTD Arrow, I like the Arrow-1000 (Fishman fluence, and FR 1000) in pearl white, but they're $1599.

The Toki Sig ESP Chunpa-V I posted is a made to order model from ESP shops in Japan, and I've seen two different prices either $4763 or $5384, but the differences aren't clear to me? They have Duncan Blackouts like my X-series Rhoads, but I'd still like one of these:

I love those so much. Where the fuck are you finding these where you can actually purchase them? I absolutely do not need a fucking floyd rose though. I don't mind em in theory (I've set em up and don't hate doing it), but I just never use em.

The reverse headstock of the Arrow is really nice.

I think my first choice right now is the Kirk Hammett Epiphone in purple sparkle closely followed by that Epiphone Futura. I wish I could walk into a store right now and play one of those.

The tones from the few Futura demos out there seem promising. The Probuckers seems legitimate and it even has a reverse phase pull on the third tone pot. I wish it wasn't a slimmer neck profile cause aside from that it checks a lot of blues boxes. Whether it's too slim remains to be seen.

BigBoss in Japan has the Toki Sig ESP Arrow Chunpa-V; but you can order them from any ESP custom shop in Japan.

Musician's Friend has the LTD Arrow-1000 in white
