grassroots is under ESP too
Not all LTDs are made in Indonesia tho, the higher end models like 300/400 and deluxe series are made in Korea.
Majority of the LTDs are sold in US tho, with their no shipping outside US policy, and just a few in Japan. And vice versa for Edwards, Japan has the bulk of em and almost none in the US.

I personally recommend the aria pro-std. Its a good les paul copy.IMHO Sound is much better than craftsman and j&d.it will cost you arnd 450?or less? After that...jus change the pups to seymour duncans if ya are unhappy with it...it will sound close enough to a les paul.And its beatiful guitar.Get the black beauty.its available at penin.
Re: Clarification time
ESP is a Japanese brand and Japanese make.
ESP guitars are Japanese custom-crafted guitars, which are produced by the best ESP builders from their own academy, in their best quality work and all parts are sourced from very high quality stuff. Many ESPs are just made only when ordered in the case of Japan. ESP guitars are all ESP original designs.
Navigator guitars are the same as above, cept that the designs are all of classic remakes, in particularly strat copies, LP copies and the likes.
Edwards are ESP's Japanese mass produced guitars with slightly inferior materials and parts but still very high quality production.
LTD guitars are just non-Japanese made ESP designs, the higher end ones in Korea and the lower end ones in Indonesia. Generally of poorer quality than the above lines. Extremely few are available in Japan.
Grassroots guitars are ESP's beginners' range in Japan, most(or all) of them made outside Japan with mass production and inferior parts.
ESP stands for Electric Sound Products. They were originally a custom shop for electric guitars before they started their own business by making original designs 30 years ago.
LTD just stands for Limited, probably implying that the quality and production-wise the effort spent is limited, and not as much as the ESPs? Hahaha.
For more information go to espguitars.co.jp don't go to the usa site.
Hmmm.... Sounds like you are going the totally wrong way here.neuro182 said:

if i were you, i'd give the Epi a miss, save a little more & consider the LTD EC-50 ($585) instead. a wonderful first time guitar, plays real well, sounds very acceptable.

What's with the snob factor?
That LTD EC-50 is made in Indonesia as well...
That LTD EC-50 is made in Indonesia as well...
yeah. i also read up on it and realised its from indonesia ...
but anyway, i'm not a pro or anything.. as long as it plays well in my hands, i can't tell the difference. then its ok with me.. made in where never mind one...
then when i can start to tel the difference, i will change the pickups or something...
but seirously, can someone tell me something about the epi special II?
i was looking at it. but i didn't like its looks actually.. no pickguard, 2 knobs only. and the neck not nice looking .hahaha...
so i dunno about the sound
