...Do the Japanese models carry a heft price tag and how do they compare to an ESP?...
Find one, go there, bring an experienced friend along for a second opinion. Feel her, play her, hear her. Then YOU decide what the guitar is really worth (to you). ESP?
,but a VERY experienced friend of mine would trade me his PRS (and not the cheaper kind) in a heartbeat, if I would offer him a mint Vantage VA800 ...
Never let anything or anyone tell you howmuch a good guitar is worth, especially no dumb decal!
And don't forget to bring your fav practice amp too cause an awesome amp can sometimes make a [Foul Language Used] guitar sound not half bad!!!
