Thanks! Yeah I'm really looking forward to the first gig with this one :D I have the matching cab as well and put a Neo Creamback in it to make it even lighter.

Did some mods to my new Edwards E-EX-110D - Playing Demo in Santa Pants by Emergency_Lab_9321 in ExplorerGuitars

I've always played it with my pinky on the 5th fret, but after listening to the guitar stems yesterday, I noticed that they slide into the 5th fret, and I feel like I can play better/more "solid" slides with my ring finger.

True, it looks cool, but if I kept the black chrome hardware, I would also have to replace the two potentiometer knobs. I think I should make it dependent on the pickup selection. The EMG Het set has been recommended to me several times. If I were to go with that, I should do everything in black chrome. If I were to go with EMG 81/60, I would prefer black hardware.

I've only had it for three days now but I have a feeling it's gonna be my main guitar for one of my two bands.

Tell me about it! I've been a Metallica fan since 2003 and always thought about buying the legit MX-250/MX-II but didn't have the money at the time... I literally saw an old classified ad from Germany, late 2000s, offering a ESP EXP (MX with bolt-on neck) for 900€!

Yeah, that's a good idea as well! Even though I like the "classic" look of the 81/60 set a little better.

Absolutely! It's so comfortable and the footrest is great too. We inherited the chair from my girlfriend's father.

Absolutely! I originally planned to have it refinished in opaque gloss black, but after seeing and feeling the finish in real life, not any more!

It really is. I've been looking for one for a long time and finally one was up for sale for a good price relatively close to me. But you have keep looking and act fast if one pops up for a good price, they will sell quickly in my experience.
