  • ESP Kamikazi III

    I was offered one of these in a trade for my MII Urban Camo. Having never played one I would like some input from those who have. I am a big Lynch fan and both guitars are in like new condition. I have read that The kamikazi is very heavy but makes up for the weight in tone. If you own one or have played one please chime in. Thank's

    I have the Kami II, Kami III, and Kami IV. What you heard is correct the all maple body is heavy but the tone is excellent. The necks are wider (1-3/4" nut) than the norm ESP MII necks. Isn't the Urban Camo more rare than the Kami?

      I had a navy Kami, the white/red/blue version, and it flat out ripped. Big and comfy neck, screaming chunky tone. The only downside was the ESP trem, which I couldn´t get to perform 100% convincingly. I would´ve kept it, but I was offered top dollar for it and needed funds for other stuff... so off it went.

      There are plenty of Kamikazes with OFR´s out there also, and if it´s one of those you´ve been offered I´d go for it.

        These are made by very young men who are mostly graduates of the guitar making school from a related company. The quality varies. I could have bought IV with the dayglo graphics for $750 at a pawn shop. There was no way any set up could have saved the guitar. I was pissed. It looked amazing.

          So is this why they separate the CUSTOM SHOP from the STANDARD SERIES to the SIGNATURE SERIES? I would think MASTER LUTHIERS W/ EXPERIENCE would build finer guitars... Maybe why the CUSTOM SHOP is so much more expensive... Where did you get your info on this?

            As far as tone goes, the Kami will blow that MII away! I've owned a KH-2 Neck thru and a Kami IV and Sunburst Tiger... The Lynch's scream in comparison...
