You do realize that the guts are almost identical right?  I played a KH-1 ESP the same day I bought my LTD KH-602...  The difference was minimal at best.

That is true in the case of the KH-1 and the KH-602 the only difference is the machines I believe (I had to look it up). That being said, historically the woods used are frequently different, also, many ESP are neck through where as many of the LTDs are bolt on necks also the craftsmanship and quality seemed higher with the ESPs.

In the case of 1 of my 2 ESPs, I don't know if they still do it (I purchased it back in '02), but I was able to customize it (choose the woods, the neck shape, the fret size and number, etc..).

That's true for the cheaper LTD models.  Many are neck through now (ie the M-300).  LTD really stepped up their game a few years ago.  As with ESP, you can order them custom built now as well.  The one big difference I've noticed is the quality of the finish on the ESP line is notably higher, especially in the see-through finishes.

This is the guitar I covet though my FR404 is very similar in most details including neck-thru design and coil tapping as well as phase switching.......other than the horrible quad rails pickups.

I found one of these in a trash pile (white guitar below) with a split headstock, repaired it, and then ruined it's value by routing a relief for the floyd rose before giving it away.

I use a ball or roller catch between the springs as a stop for the tremolo which keeps it from going sharp when palm muting and stills allow you to pull up on the bar.

It really played well and stayed in tune for 9 months of whammy goodness before I lifted it "steve vai crossroads style" and stretched the strings.......but a minute on the fine tuners and it was back for a few more months before a string broke.

I only found out recently how much it was worth.
