Re: Getting My Brother A Truckster. Help Needed.....
well according to the esp guitar website the ESP series uses Sperzel Locking tuners and the LTD series uses Schaller Locking tuners. the site u posted lists the sperzel locking tuners but then it says schaller strap locks, but the esp site says nothing about straplocks. the best idea i can think of would be to call them and ask if its the LTD series or the better ESP series. if i would buy a hetfield or hammett sig. series i would definitely go with the esp series, since that is going to be close if not exactly to the same specs that they use. i wouldnt get an LTD guitar anyways, LTD deluxe-- those are some nice guitars for a good price.
call them and find out which series it is. like Kat said, you can get a better axe for cheaper. check out the LTD-1000 Deluxe Eclipse. ive got one of them and absolutely love it

Thanks Kat and atoal,
Im going to give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say. In terms of should I get a different Guitar, my brother has wanted one for years and your probably right there are better guitars but its his present.
Thank you both again.

I have an ESP Truckster, and it's definately an amazing instrument. The ESP Truckster does come with straplocks also...

Re: Getting My Brother A Truckster. Help Needed.....
Just to update you.... after a phone conversation with fret music the guitar in my original link was a LTD and the "REAL" version would cost £1250.
Do I like my brother that much.... we will see, maybe try and import one from the states.
Anyone from the states in here that can suggest a company that will deliver to europe??
Slayer diabolus thanks for the link

Remember the taxes when you buy outside Europe. It might cost more. Perhaps you should look inside europe instead.
