When you roll off volume you lose a lot of brightness and I'm scared to say it but tone. It depends on the pots but linear pots will rolloff tone the most (think fender) and audio taper pots will roll off tone the least but have a much less linear volume decrease.

The hate about the rebranding is absolutely ridiculous...its STILL an ESP, its still made by Japanese luthiers, and its still made to the same exact quality as the old standards. People dont get the fact that ESP was never meant to be a production line...they were ALWAYS meant to be custom shop ONLY, all ESP did was go back to what they were doing in the beginning. At this point everybody knows now what the E2 means on the headstock...its an ESP Standard. People will know right away that its Japanese ESP and they will know how much cash you dropped on it.

Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... Maybe you can hire The A-Team.

The E-II thing is like when PRS used to write SE in massive text on the head-stock. It's like advertising to the world that your guitar is less expensive than the 'proper' thing. With most things (guitars especially - i.e Gibson, Fender, PRS) perceived value is really important. For instance, I was almost convinced not to buy a PRS CE (USA made for what it's worth) over an SE because it didn't have the bird inlays... It's vanity for sure, however past a certain price point 80% of what the customer gets is for the sake of vanity, same with cars, clothes... even food.

They see E2 they know that it's an expensive ass Japanese built ESP standard. I'm seeing more and more people with E2 by the day. They're amazing guitars and are worth every penny.

@@Remmy0930 You're missing the point. He's not arguing against brands associating names with the varying ranges in their respective lineups, but rather them physically re-branding the guitar to match the range that it's in. If I buy a strat, then I know damn well I want it to say Fender on the headstock and not something else. I don't care what range it's in, it's still a Fender. Of course the quality of the E-IIs are amazing, but it is a scummy move to physically rebrand the line from the parent line to some obscure E-II name just to differentiate them from their custom shop range.

Yea; It has just been one of those things smeared across the internet. If anything they gave a negative reputation for no reason, with their herd mentality. - Talking shit about these products as if they're some kind of newfangled atrocity, while in reality they've been around since the '70s or whatever, and have been used by many great artists on plenty of great albums. Are they THE amazing pickups that you need? No, they have their own character like anything else. Some people dislike or even hate the character, be it the tones or the compression or what have you, and so in the early 2000s or so the reputation bashing began. MOST complaints are about how they "compress too much". - Well, first of all, EMG also makes passive pickups, so the whining should've stopped there. - But then you could even modify the active ones to give them more headroom, AND there have been the X-series, which would have more headroom out of the box. - People don't know what they're talking about, indeed. - I'm not even the biggest fan, but I do use some and I will also defend decent products and companies from libel.
