"This guitar is sick!!!"

Feature:
It came with an ESP catalog, and a FREE GIFT (strings) from S.I.T. Strings, which I thought was cool. I wish that I had saved a little more money and got the more expensive set-neck version, because while playing shows, it'll get banged around a bit, and go slightly out of tune.

Quality:
I think it could have been made better, and it was with the EX260 and the EX400, but if you play shows, then don't worry, it sounds good, plays good, stays in tune, and is quite easy to set-up. I use it for everything, because I don't want to use my more expensive guitars, to go play at a show.

Value:
I already recommended two people to this guitar, they bought it, and now they love it too. It's very inexpensive, it's a great price for the guitar in general

Desirability:
The first time I saw an ESP EX model guitar, I just wanted to steal it (I didn't steal it). It has a nice sharp body, and I recognized it, because of Gibson's version. The ESP version, I think is much better, because you look at and say, "Man, that thing is sick." It's not my best guitar, but I still love to show it off to my friends... They all ask how much it cost, expecting to here somewhere around $400, and are shocked when I tell them how far off they are.

Sound:
In my opinion, it's pretty good overall. If you play hardcore you'll definitely want to go for an 81-60 or 81-89 set up, because the stock humbuckers aren't the best. It's kind of muddy when playing lower notes, and it sounds kind of hollow on the higher frets. I have EMG's on it, and it sounds a lot better. The muddy and hollow sounds disappeared. Overall the stock pickups aren't bad, because the guitar itself is very inexpensive.

Ease of Use:
It's easy to get great sounds from this guitar. I put an EMG 81 on the bridge and it sounds great. It's very comfortable to play sitting or standing. It will feel kind of awkward at first, but give it a little bit, and you will see that it's actually very comfortable.

Support:
I haven't had to deal with them yet, so they must have done something right.

Overall:
I was already searching for another guitar after I bought this one. I like it for playing shows, but I would like to have another ESP guitar with a set neck, and EMG's already on it.

"\m/ \m/"

Feature:
one volume, one tone, you dont need more than that

Quality:
Again, all Ltd's come standard with great playability, but they also come with a GREAT apint job, no chipping, rarely dents, and doesnt show scratches much. And even though, your getting the lowest quality out of Ltd, your still getting the best for the price. And even the bottom end stuff is really great.

Value:
AWSOME value for all the quality, materials, electronics, hardware, and the best playability.Its all good

Desirability:
Very "wantable" lol...JUST LOOK AT IT!!!!

Sound:
The LH 100 are really high gain for a stock pickup, but i put active EMG's in it

Support:
Their guitars are tough, durable, and long lasting. Havent needed to call support

Overall:
Overall, for the price, your getting the best guitar ever. Anyone who is starting to play, or just looking to get a cheap guitar to hot rod, get an Ltd. ALL AROUND AWSOME
