I plan on buying an ESP LTD EC-1000, with EMG 81/60 combo.
The real problem I had with warriors was the 'spike' thing jutting out towards the floor...It made things uncomfortable when sitting down, hence why I prefer the Kelly shape.

The LTD Ec-1000 already has EMG 81/60's Personally, I have sketchy feelings with ESP's, since I have yet to find an ESP neck that 'fits' for me, but I haven't played a whole lot of ESP's yet. I've played JH's Truckster, KH-2 (Vintage and regular) and an LTD EX-400 thus far.

ESP's are damn great when it comes to their custom work. Ever seen the ESP Armor Custom? One hell of a guitar.
