-25.5 scale
-Recessed Origonal Floyd Rose
-1 11/16" nut
-Bridge Hum, Neck Hum or SC
-12/14-16" compound radius fretboard

For the basics that is.

i thought about a Jackson, but i wasn't too thrilled with the neck on the last one i played. and it was a custom. that's why i'm leaning towards the ESP. it's gonna be more of a shredder than anything else, and the ESP necks always felt the fastest.

right now i have a Fender Mexican Fat-Strat, an early 80s Charvel Randy Rhodes V with an orig Rose, locking nut, SC neck/Hum bridge and 5 way switch, a no-name Tele, Fender Squire P-Bass, and a no-name Les Paul.

the Fat-Strat is my main player, the Charvel doesn't see much action anymore, the Tele and LP are beaters to just jam on when i need to get rid of some tension.
