Yeah, but you want what you want, you know? Sound is the most important but nobody wants a guitar they aren't going to enjoy looking at as well. But what the heck do I know, all of my guitars are chipped, scratched, dinged, and some are different colors. Somehow I just can't seem to keep them from getting destroyed at shows.
+1 for the Schecter. The esp is cool to but I don't like the viper shape and the emgs aren't for me.
