You're right, I forgot, it's a 'set thru' neck.

Which ESP argues is better than neckthrough because more of the body wood's tone shines through.

Thats bullshit esp. They did the whole set thru to bring down their cost of the Mh line, and basicallt keep the guitars at the same price. Thats why I still hunt out the Mh-3xx series for the neck thru.

Its cheaper for them to continue making neckthroughs than set-thru joints, and you would be crazy to think set thru construction yields less of the body wood's tone than a neckthrough.

As a matter of fact, the very first MH400NTs and 400s were neckthrough. I had one of them. (as seen here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/Niccolai/guitars/MH400_body-back.jpg )

The setthrough can be produced faster, and you get cleaner aliphetic resin lines on the wood joints, but setting up a new production line, and cadding a new design would have been way more expensive then them just using neckthrough maple blanks that they already made(and still make on other models) and not changing anything about the neckthrough mh400nts.

I've owned at least two of every MH model above the 200 series(exception being the 301) and my 300s have no advantages over my 400 or 1000 series LTDs.

Even the 250NT with the LH300 pickups holds it's own against the 300s.

the 300s slaughter the 301 and my mh250fr with HZ4s though.
