I own a lefty version of this one from the 90s and it's one of my favourite ESPs ever. The quality is perfect and it has the most comfortable neck profile of any guitar I've tried (and I've tried and owned hundreds). It feels faster and sleeker than my Horizon for example and sounds a bit brighter for better or worse. I've toured with this guitar and still record with it now that I've replaced it with an Edwards Scythe for live purposes and it's an absolute workhorse. Even at the current prices I'd say it's worth it but apparently the EII has a thicker neck profile, probably the same as the Horizon and SV/Alexi.
I like the rosewood, I don't like the steel heel plate on the back for the neck. Also like you said the top mounted plate in the back. But I think its a really nice looking guitar. Not sure if ebony would have looked better or not, or just another stealth looking guitar. What did you pay for it?
Dude, your shredding is excellent!

I have an early 90’s M2 deluxe, custom shop stamp. Amazing guitar, one piece quartersawn neck.

just got this guitar last month, but mine is neck thru, feels pretty close to custom shop, but my custom shop still feels a bit better 🤣
