I’ve had two of the elks. My first one came from rare electric guitars before they went out of business. And then a different one from eBay but the same exact thing if that makes sense. I see they’ve changed the color of the decal to a darker tone and the esp logo on yours is different from the ones I had. I ultimately sold both of mine and decided to save for a real elk but obviously not an esp one cause they don’t make the 250 anymore. I can’t get over how different the logo on the headstock looks. I’m with you if definitely opt for no logo. I upgraded my second elk to locking tuners cause the stock ones were junk and the Het Set from EMG. my first elk had 81/60 already installed cause I requested it. They played great after a complete overhaul and upgraded on just everything

Would you ever aim for a Dimebag ML guitar Chris?

Absolutely. I have wanted one of them for a long time. In fact, I hung on to an OG Bill Lawrence pup for soooooo long, hoping to jam it in an ML. Just never happened to date, and I have no idea where the pup is now. Lol

If those pickups are what I think they are (by the looks, I'd say they're ESP ALH-200 Active pickups from LTD 330 series, not bad at all), you need a stereo input jack and 25k pots. Alpha pots in your guitar are good, I use them all the time, but they're 500k and are not suitable for active electronics. Just change the pots and you should be good.

Stop buying counterfeit guitars, such a terrible meme that will not die. There are PLENTY of fantastic guitars for good prices these days, there's absolutely no excuse to keep perpetuating this black market which is exactly what you're doing. Big thumbs down.

I didn't buy it. Stated multiple times in each video about it. Pay attention, will ya? That said, this thing is made way better than any guitar in the $500-$1000 price point. Not that I'm a fan of the market it comes from, I'll spend my $ however I like. A Chinese guitar is a Chinese guitar, regardless of the name on the headstock. 🤷♂️
