All Jeff Hanneman LTD guitars now have the same specs as the proper ESP one: Neck thru construction, Kahler trems and an Alder body  :D

Finally there could be an LTD worth buying! :o

whats the difference between the 200 and the 600?
edit: the pics look like the 200 has a rosewood fretboard, but the specs say differently - i don't believe them.

The 200 looks like it has EMG Hz in the pics.

ESP allways write the wrong specs on their site - Might be false advertising :P

I remember an M which said it had an 81 set, when it had an 85 at the bridge or something.

Was like that for the whole year until they changed the site.

Yeah it is Rosewood and HZ's, but it still has a kahler trem and i bet it plays very nice. But anyways i would probably get the 600 if i was going to get any of them so that doesn't affect me.

Same, but Rosewood and HZs is probably not bad for the price.

About half the price of the 600 I would imagine.

I think the 200 is about £450 - £550 kinda range depending on the shop, the 600 will be about £700 - £780 kinda regions i would think

I was thinking somewhere near 850-900 for the 600, and about 400 for the 200.

That's the price of the other ESPs with similar specs.

Only time will tell :P

The previous JH-600 was about £750, the only difference is now it has a Kahler bridge.
