The ESP is keep saying that E-II is not LTD Elite but the old ESP Standard. All LTDs are made outside of Japan, and E-IIs are Japanese made, I think that is the only link with Standard line, because...
I have touched couple of E-II at the store, and they felt like shit, sounded like shit, and the logo looks like shit. I think the LTD-600s are made better, play better, sound better (even LTD shit logo looks better than some teenage ninja mutant abbreviation)
You can feel, see, and hear imperfections on E-II, not big ones (like some cheaper LTDs) but the ones you would never get on Standard line ('cept for the Camo M-II, notorious 14/15 fret buzz). The back cover on one was crooked as shit, the 10th fret seemed to stick out a bit further than 9 and 11 on Horizon I tried. The knobs on Eclipse wobbled for no fucking reason, I could almost swear the tuners looked unevenly lined up.
The E-II feels almost less attractive than LTD elites...That line change is a big disappointment, if you ask me.
Who will endorse the fucking things? Miley Sirus or some shit? ESP logo will always be associated with the biggest bands in the world.
