A good friend of mine Gabe got me into realizing how well some import labels can be. The instrument I use is a ESP LTD M-251. After replacing the trem springs on its duggout Floyd Rose with some real High Quality ones and adding on a GK-2a, the thing tracks better than any other guitar/controller I have picked up anywhere. Probably the only gripe I have about it is inherent with all suspended trems. Whenever it is restrung, boy is it ever a pain in the butt to tune along with common new string stretching. tune,lock stretch, unlock, tune, lock stretch,unlock, tune, lock, stertch,ugh over and over until finally the strtching is done. Nigel, someone told me that you can boil the strings with just a touch of oil and it pre stretches them. is that true or just add Ragu?
