Esp:F250 should i buy??

[LoveNightmare]

Hi all, im a new guitarist and always been gazing at this esp model f-250
i think its design is nice hence i think of owning one is there anything i must consider? because i only like playing all kinds of rock songs only is it suitable for me? and what should i do to make it a nice set?

 

[unholyernest]

do u have the $$?
the F-250 is a LTD model.. davis won't ship in for u..
if u order any ESP F series.. its going to be $2.5k and above..
i interested in the F series shape too. good luck!

 

[EugeneSmasher]

The F-series appeals more to metal players in my opinion... Since it has a sharp, radical shape. I think for rock the MHNT or H series would be a more ideal bet.

F serie only LTD I think. ESP does not have. Do correct me. I am keen in KH3, but no more for 2008.

sorry, just to confirm again.. Davis absolutely does not ship in LTD models even if you place a deposit?

LTD requires a bulk order.. i dunno how "bulk" is "bulk" lah.. but they dun do special order for LTDs.. only ESPs.. its not like they dun wan.. but they can't..
but they do have a LTD's F400 on display..at the corner.. its the model with tribal inlay.. pretty damn cool.. if u can afford to buy that guitar then add a floyd rose.. haha.. u will be my god..

Is that F400 a baritone?

 

[unholyernest]

haha.. all about F series can ask me.. i have done lots of research and homework on it.

the F400 is a normal metal guitar.. 25.5" scale.. baritone is 27"..

 

[TidesOfBlood]

i believe the F-400 in question here is as the one below.

if you're going to do all the work to add a floyd rose to that.. might as well get a brand new floyd rose guitar lol.

 

[unholyernest]

if u buy the F250..which has floyd rose.. it is on passive pickups..

so if u wan active pickups.. u have to buy F400..

ESP is smart.. they dun put all the good things together..

its either u upgrade bridge..or upgrade pickups..
i would choose to get F400 and change the bridge.. cuz i like the nice tribal and actives..

its up to u lah.. anyway... all those F250 and F400 is way too expensive to be a beginner's guitar.. unless u really have the $$ to spare..
good luck!

hahaha, that was the initial business of ESP. Mod and pimp poeple's axes, and decided to produce axes with the stamp "ESP".

I am still dreaming about that KH2 and KH3. No money , and sucks at guitar playing(at the moment), so I better don't think too much. hahahaha ESP rockz!

 

[unholyernest]

yeah.. just to add something..
no matter how much plans u have for a high end LTD.. your dream will never come true.. unless u are really lucky.. cuz u can't do a special order for LTDs..

custom ESP! graphics add at least $2k to the standard range. changes to pickups, machine heads etc extras on extras. and final monster...Customised Expensive Sound Product.

 

[psyence4]

FYI I saw the F-250 at Davis, and the F-100 unfortunately no F-400...

Why buy f250??? Got floyd rose sia... Not a good beginner guitar... You might as well buy f50... It is the cheapest and is the "F" shape... F50 cost like few hundreds only... 200+?
I dunno...

Ya floyd rose guitar will freak out a beginner with the tuning n string changing being more difficult. So better to get the F50.

I think the stock ESP pickups used on the 50 series is not too bad n quite versatile for playing most rock genres, from classic rock to metal. Just nid to change the EQ settings on amp.

For my viper 50 i find it difficult to play standing up as the neck is heavy. dunno bout the F series weight distribution but i guess it will be a gd beginners guitar, looks cool too.

See? Someone agree with me!!! LOL Viper 50... It's the same as typical SG, neck dive... But the F50 won't... Get the F-50... It id string thru body... So string changing is very easy too... F250 ( floyd rosee ) Changing string gauges can make you sit at your desk the whole evening but haven finish...

really funny comments in the rookie section.seriously.

no f series in esp?

2k addition to standard price for graphic?
i tried customizing my own plain bolt on f series with not major mods and its already 8k. that alone is already 5 to 6k above standard range.Plus graphic? hmmm.
