      To leave the option for alternate control schemes

        One of them is just for decoration because James thinks it looks cool.

          Hello, do you have an official distributor in Mexico? If not, which US distributor handles the ESP version online?

                          I live in Greece and the main ESP dealer is Nakas (there is no other one in Athens or Thessaloniki) and he mainly stocks LTD guitars.For more expensive ESPs he must order them. I am interested in ESP Iron Cross guitar which even on Thomann (the Greek site) isn't available but only after order. Another problem with Thomann is that it doesn't give you the option of finance and in both cases (Nakas or Thomann) you just CANT play and check the guitar before buying...Its like paying almost 5000euros and you get a surprise instrument! I don't say that I doubt the quality of it but just being based on YouTube videos isn't fair (and there aren't many regarding the ESP- the majority is about the LTD model).
