I need YOUR help choosing an e-guitar!!

1. I am an avid e-guitar player and fan.
2. I am an AVID ESP Japan guitar buyer AND fan.
3. I currently own an ESP Japan Forest GT Blue (details below)
4. I am currently saving up to purchase yet another ESP Japan guitar.
5. I WANT your input on which one I should buy!
6. If you have any other company that you want to suggest, let me know! ESP Japan is not the only company I am looking at, just the one I want to do business with ;)!

Why ESP Japan? They make AWESOME guitars that are beautiful, sound like magic, and are of superb handmade quality. Such US artists that have ESP Japan Guitars: SLAYER, George Lynch, and Steven Carpenter.

Forest GT Blue
My pride and joy, and my first e-guitar. I love everything about it, the sharp, jagged lines, the beautiful sound, the color, the natural look, EVERYTHING. This guitar yanked me out of the dwindling state of n00b and thrust me into avid e-guitar fandom! Ash top, Honduras Mahogany bottom, Hard Maple neck, and Ebony fingerboard. You can see a picture of the guitar, along with the stats (hey, I bought the thing to play it, not to memorize the damn stats!) here: [url="http://www.espguitars.net/original/2004/forestgt/index.htm"]http://www.espguitars.net/original/2004/forestgt/index.htm[/url]
Make sure to click the blue box to see it in blue. Albeit is NOTHING compared to seeing this beast in person. You can see why I love to play this thing. *sniff* It's a sad thing it's in my auntie's closet for the winter...
Pricetag: Brand new for 3,500$

Now on to the guitars I am currently looking to purchase:

Jenue Fille Blanche (Small White Girl, seriously, that's what it means!!)
[url="http://www.espguitars.net/artist/2004/mana/index.html"]http://www.espguitars.net/artist/2004/mana/index.html[/url]
"Blanche" is the second one on that page. I DO like "X" but only if it came without the decals (which, by request of Mana of Malice Mizer and Moi dix Mois, it does not). I fell in love with the Jenue Fille when I started to listen to Malice Mizer and Moi dix Mois. I find it has a unique sound I have yet to hear in other guitars, and I love how eccentric it looks. Mana does things which only I can dream of, and if you listen to "Bel Air" you can see what I mean when he just goes all out.
Pricetag: Brand new for $5,245

Rose Angel (Blue)
[url="http://www.espguitars.net/artist/2004/alfee/index.html"]http://www.espguitars.net/artist/2004/alfee/index.html[/url]
I almost died when I first saw Takamizawa from The Alfee's play this immaculate piece of artwork. I went on a scourging quest to find out who made it, and OMG, to my luck it's an ESP! I LOVE both models, but I am quite partial to the blue overlay. I have yet to see a more unique and touching guitar (I have seem more extravagent, but this is different!). It has a heavenly sound (pun intended) and is actually a quieter guitar than I am used to, but still, I could muster some hellish notes out of it >.<!
Pricetag: Brand new for 13,650$

I'm looking around at some of the other ESP models, but I really like the above two. So, just give your input, analysis, opinion, review, thoughts, suggestions, or whatever!

Out of those two, I'd probably get the Jenue Fille Blanche (what language is that?), but I personally think that all of the guitars you have listed are alittle too far out there for me, not that my guitars are traditional (I have a B.C. Rich Warlock and Steinberger Spirit GT-Pro). So yeah. I don't really have any suggestions though since I've never really looked at guitars anywhere near that price range.

Those are some weird ass guitars, so I would go with the white one because it is a little more normal.

LOL, I do guess I have a screwed up taste in e-guitars, ahehe! I like really far-out models and models that spark my inner interest and inspiration :). ESP Japan makes this custom futuristic model that looks like it came from Hellraiser (on crack), all metalic and scary looking if you ask me! I do have my limits and I try to keep what I want artistic (which is why, right about now, I would kill for a Rose Angel *end sarcasm*). I do admit ESP Japan is a LITTLE pricier than most people like, but the quality of the instrument FAR outweighs the cost. I think it's like that with most quality guitars (some, not all mind you!).

I'm aiming more towards the Jenue Fille Blanche right about now (Oh, BimmerZ3, Jenue Fille Blanche is French just to let you know!). It's more in my price range, and I would be able to get it within the next 6 months! I would LOVE to get a Rose Angel, but I don't think I'll be able to get 13K anytime soon! I have to save up for my excursion to Tokyo next March!

BimmerZ3, I played a Warlock (not sure which model, but I believe it was a black neck-thru) my freshman year of college to learn how to play e-guitar (my friend owned that and one other, not sure what model/make it was). I really liked the look and feel of it (it's a little more extravagent than my brother's ESP Japan "Axe" model) and how it compared to other Axe/Warlock-like models I have seen. Although I tend to get a tad more extreme in design ;) as seen. I've heard of Steinberger models before, but I have yet to see any in person. Do you have a picture or link of your Spirit GT-Pro?

Also, price isn't an issue, if you got a cheap price, it doesn't matter. I'm in it for design and quality :P. It just so happens ESP Japan charges an arm and leg for their guitars ^_^...
