« on: September 08, 2007, 07:51:20 PM »
Hails Guys,i´m willing to trade my ESP Mii Deluxe for a Hurricane Les paul custom.

my esp is Brand new, just a few scratches in the body, but the les paul has all teh hardware Rusted.  but the guy told me that he will pay for the new hardware. and the frets need to be changed.

here the pics.
let me know what you think about it ANy suggestions and criticism will be welcome. Esp will not be delivery with duncans. eheheh
This is my ESP -

And these are The pics of the Hurricane Les paul










The pickups are good,but too bright for my tastes. and the guitar itself wieghts A TON.(thast good for me.)
Q:P

Hails.

Well, I've never had one Hurricane, but I a player that I was roadie had, and it had an amazing sound (EMG 89 in this guitar)... it had double truss-rod and locking gotoh turners... Well, I'm always about a LP!  :D

EDIT: You're brazillian too, I should have wrote in portuguese...

hurricane > any skinny guitar  :lol:

i think no one here will recognize this brand, cause apparently they were sold in late 80's and early 90's only in south america and asia, and i saw some on spanish websites, so everyone will tell you to keep the ESP
if it was a well known copy like burny or edwards, everyone would recommend it

moridaira (morris) made guitars for fender japan, hs anderson and bill lawrence and endorsed Marty Friedman and Jason Becker for a long time in the 80's
they used high quality and HEAVY mahogany and only gotoh hardware
definitely NOT cheap guitars, as the Hurricane i own and the other i played beat all the Gibson Studios i've tried (i never played a standard or custom, so i can't compare)
my bandmate just bought a brand new gibson vintage mahogany and the first thing he said when i asked about the gibson was "my hurricane is way better than it and a lot more comfortable"
the stock bridge pickup is shitety and bright, but the neck pickup is fat, clear and powerful (not in a BK way, but great for a stock pickup)

so the question should be "SKINNY GUITAR TONE vs TRUE LES PAUL SOUND"  :lol:

yeah
as we live close to the beach, in 6 months the new gold parts will be rotten again (unless you put some black hardware)
as the guy to pay for the fret service!

What the hell are you on about?

Even if it was a Gibson deluxe I'd say ESP...

I don't recognise the brand, but if they're a well-made instrument and hold value well in Brazil I'd say go for it.

LP > any guitar with a pointy headstock.
