I would think that any second-hand ESP in good condition for that price would be a winner. It has decent specs and a nice quilted-maple finish. I'm never heard what the stock ESP pickups sound like, but I don't think you could go too wrong with R1500. I would go for it.

Although, if I were you, I'd go for this:

Lol, for R1500 I reckon it (the horizon) would be a good buy 8).

I'm gassing way to much for someone that is starting to write exams in a few days... Maybe I can sell my girlfriend... :?

Forgot to say thanks! Always appreciate advice!

Will play it on my Orange next week and see how it sounds... Its not the type of guitar I would associate with my amp, but hey ?

I know the feeling dude.. I start exams on Thursday. I feel like a prisoner chained to my desk! Don't sell the gf, I reckon that's a bad move haha!

No problem man. From what I've heard of Orange amps they can be quite versatile.. what sorta amp is it? Cos its not unheard of for some dudes who have a big rig to run their amp (maybe a dual rectifier/powerball) through an orange cab. I also like to use some Orange impulse responses for my recordings, and I play mostly metal.
