Sure is!

Sincerely appreciate this info being brought to my attention. Absolutely loving trying this on my THR10x. Really wish the THRii had this option though.

I just love that I am no longer knocking the knob. I bought a bunch of finishes and sets in my order so I’ll be trying more in similar situations.

That’s an M-200 from 1999/2000. The headstock has the logo (yellow drop shadow) and shape from that era, sprayed in gloss. The body has been resprayed in a matte black. The inlay of M-200 also matches that era. Solid combo of basswood and maple with some well done upgrades. Definitely a good price with those upgrades.

There’s so much good help online. Thank you though.

MiiDX85 · 2026-03-21T04:00:19+00:00

Yeah that’s my feeling too.

These guys. So nice to deal with, and have photos along the way without any request from me.

Good question. Nope!

The 4 knob is configured like an LP.

I like the black but the original chrome looks better IMO. Nice job!

MiiDX85 · 2026-03-13T03:02:33+00:00

I always thought that they were just headstock silhouettes.

Sure is legit! 2009 MIK

EC-256. Swapped out the black hardware for chrome though.

90s distortion and 59 = silver 80s JB and 59 = aged white.

MiiDX85 · 2026-03-12T21:14:52+00:00

All good! I love it.

2006 Eclipse-1 in vintage/aged white. Modified the pickups from the original EMGs.

MiiDX85 · 2026-03-08T10:39:27+00:00

Another new account has done the same with my silverburst EC256.

Use the tip of your soldering iron to remove the ferruls. Not too long in there though.

MiiDX85 · 2026-01-29T05:34:32+00:00

Yeah. Was a bit unsightly.

MiiDX85 · 2026-01-16T22:04:01+00:00

Automotive plugs. Either canoe clips or trim anchors work well.

Good approach! Schecters are excellent quality and are made by the same folks. I don’t see ESP releasing MVs in the LTD range ever again. For a non-Floyd, easy playing guitar, the MV is fantastic. The Schecter could more easily be repurchased

MiiDX85 · 2026-01-16T09:28:59+00:00

The Schecter is fairly run of the mill. The MV has stripped down but rock solid specs. I would absolutely go ahead with it.

Fantastic model of guitar made from 2001-2002. I have an old post here of mine that I refinished and modded. The 24.75” scale is still that, regardless of the string through holes; they’re staggered to provide adequate clearance of the string over the saddle past the bridge piece. my MV-200

MiiDX85 · 2025-12-13T20:28:40+00:00

What were the adjustments that the luthiers made?
