Well, it has got a incredible sound, especially for metallica-songs the sound is awesome... What are your experiences?? I'm looking forward to the gig with my Band =)

the EX-400 is the new pointier explorer model of esp, not the before lawsuit one, is it? I'm thinking of buying an Epiphone Goth Explorer, because I like the shape of the original explorers more than the new esp ones...

I payed 700€ and I think its a very good price for such a guitar. Sure the original Gibson model is better but I cant afford 3500€ ^^

That's why I was talking about the Epiphone explorer, which costs about €500. The EMG setup of the LTD is quite neat though, because I would be upgrading the alnico's in the Epiphone for those too when I would buy it...

Trust me, don't buy a freaking Goth Explorer. I had a Gibson Gothic Explorer for over a year, and it just sucked. Plain sucked. Back then, all I had was my EX-350 to fall back on - a cheaper guitar and much better as well.

On topic - great choice. I've been wanting to pick up a white explorer like that.
