"Irresistable."

Feature:
It came with a chord and an ESP catalog. But I didn't get a manual..just a warranty tag. I ended up finding a manual at a dealer. As far as the guitar, electronics seem to be holding up. The tuners only last from one to two hours depending on how you play. It could use some locking tuners.

Quality:
You take a chance at getting a lemon when you buy a guitar for $200, but this guitar is outstanding for the price. Thusfar it seems to be a well-made peice of equipment. No loose-ends, and it plays very well out of the box.

Value:
How the hell can you beat the price for this sexy thing.

Desirability:
The finish is outstanding, I'm just waiting for my first ding. The body has all the Les Paul apeal you need, but with that evil ESP kick.

Sound:
For the price, the soung quality is amazing. ESP sells pretty decent sounding passive humbuckers. I play mostly metal so it is ideal. You have to work at it to get a decent clean out of it though.

Support:
Haven't had to call them yet. That's a good thing.

Overall:
I am incredibly satisfied with this instrument, but if your planning on dropping some active humbuckers in it, it may need some work and money to arrange the passive setup into an active setup. I was going to drop EMG-81's in but it cost too much. The sound is incredible, but I think I would have payed less to just buy another ESP with 81's already installed. Reflective finish, strong tone, easy control, and a bang that will blow you away. Buy it.

"Very Nice for the Price!!"

Feature:
I like the jumbo frets and shorter scale works better for me because I have smaller hands. The lc100 pickups work well and the hardware is pretty sturdy

Quality:
The is a real solid guitar. I was worried buying a guitar for $200 but it was well worth the money. I tried a ton of guitars at guitar center and this but could not find this one in any store. I went out on a limb and it payed off.

Value:
This is a nice instrument for the price. I would have payed $300 + for it.

Desirability:
very atractive guitar. Has a les paul feel with a modern look.

Sound:
Has good tone range and the pickups work pretty well.

Support:
Haven't needed it.

Overall:
I will probably play this guitar for the next 3-5 years before thinking of upgrading
