This guitar is awsome the only bad thing is it dont have active emgs but for the price you cant beat it.

pierce34celtic :
agathis, licensed floyd rose, and EMG HZ's for 420.00, versus a used RG 5xx, edge pro, basswood, wizard neck, HSH for $300-400. I think that definitely beats it.

Ehh, the Ibanez that are the 5xx series are $500+, and more for shredding, they have a different tone and better tremolo. Depends on what floats your boat, I prefer Ibanez, but I'd take an MH-400 any day : )

Yep, you should save up and get an mh400 with active electronics.

american-psycho :
that first guy said they're EMG pickups, thats what the catalogue says too but when i saw one in the shop it had ESP pickups that sorta look like EMG's and are licenced but they're nothing special they're pretty *****y next to real emg's

Hey...if u were 14 and had no income...and has been playing guitar for 2 years...and wants a M-200 or 400...what one..would u pick?
And when some guy said...went out of tune quickly....how often did u have to tune it?

BeastBoy4 :
About the pickups, the website says ESP-EMG LH#))'s, which are infact licensed, and I don't htink it sounds half bad. BUT, next to the passiv EMG's they're modeled on, American-Psycho was right, they sound pretty shitty.

ESP-EMG LH300's... sorry about that

d_v_a_tor :
I bought the M-200 FM a few months ago. It goes out of tune so much it is incredible. I find myself needing to retune it almost constantly, and I leave whammy bar off most of the time. I have switched into EMG 85-81s and can say that I sometimes think I preferred the passive HZs. One other problem I have with this is that the sustain is pretty poor IMO for a neckthrough.

SOUPerman432321 :
everyone says the floyd rose on theirs is cheap and the guitar goes out of tune. I guess I got lucky I haven't tuned mine in like 2 weeks its still perfect. But i guess it could be I use heavier gauge strings.

Matt.Chavie :
He said the EMG's are muddy clean. I have a Jackson with an 81 and 85, and it's really glassy,unless muddy and glassy are the same which IMO would make no sense.

The_Man_IV :
the durability with this guitar aint all that great

lost the tone knob after a month use no gigging with it and the tuners are very loose (on the head)

l)ragonForce :
because it goes out of tune is becuase of the tuning nobs not the guitar...

did anyone have problems with tuning when they first brought this guitar? if so did they clear up?

also does anyone know that if i wanted to install a floyd rose original rather than the liscensed 1 you get with this guitar would it fit in the hole?

I'm getting one of these for sure and putting zakk wylde Emg 81-85s in it and was wondering if u have to replace the stock electronics when u swap passive pickups with actives because of the coil tap

A lot of people say that the hardware (especially the FR)is PAINTED black. Paint. It comes off as you play. Real fast.

THEY ARE NOT EMGs!!! just becuz its active doesn't mean they're EMG pickups... they are ESP LH-301

A.D.E(666) :
I just bought this guitar and get it tuesday (had to order), and i expect great things from it. In my decision it was a ibanez mtm2 or this and there are two main reasons why i bought this.

1) With the extra money i can buy actives next week. (blackouts)!!!!!

2) i played the KH-202 at my shop for about two weeks (same guitar). And it was godly, i sat there and dive bombed for hours and never once went out of tune. And true, the pick ups suck (WAY TO MUCH FEEDBACK), but again i get actives. The next is The heel and depth you can get on the m-200, that alone kicks the crap out of ibanez) i get to 18 and still play unbelivable smooth. And i like the thinner neck
