ESP LTD AX50 Electric Guitar

Feature:
My ax has a bass wood body, which makes for one extremely light guitar. In fact, its probably one of the lightest guitars I've ever played, which is great for gigging and standing for hours on end. The draw back to the body wood is that the tone suffers a bit, sounds a bit thin and isn't as thick and full a sound. 1 volume, 1 tone, 3 way pickup selector, in my opinion thats just perfect. The guitar looks amazing, mine is the silver one, which is one wickedly delicious finish.

Quality:
Everything seems fine here, my only complaint is that the guitar just seems too light, which makes it feel quite cheap. As far as the actual quality of the guitar is concerned though, everything seems great except the tuning machines are a little sloppy and not as smooth as I'm used to, however, I've had no tuning problems or the like.

Value:
Great value, especially for me, I got mine free. Great for a beginner metal guitar.

Desirability:
I'm glad I have it, but I probably wouldn't have bought it myself, as I won it in a contest.

Sound:
This guitar actually sounds really good for the price, especially with high gain using the bridge pickup. I own an esp eclispe as well, and unfortunately the eclipse just blows this thing out of the water. This guitar is definitely made for metal, some lead work, but probably best suited to rhythm playing. but for the price, you really can't go wrong as far as sound is concerned.

Ease of Use:
The guitar has amazing playability, extremely fast neck, 25.5 scale, which is my favorite, great fret spacing. I actually won my ax in a contest on the ESP website, so the boys down there did a custom setup on mine, d'addario 10-46's, no fret buzz, low action, needless to say its perfect to play.

Support:
I contacted them once, they got back to me right away, but I needed a part, and they they don't sell parts, and that blows.

Overall:
The look of the guitar is great, sound is a bit weak, playability is awesome, really light, good for gigging, comfortable to play for the most part.

Feature:
My guitar came with a Ernie Strap ($22) and a Tourtek Lead ($35) for free which I was pretty happy with, The only thing I can say is to upgrade the pickups, I plan on getting an EMG for my treble pickup as it is all I use and dont see the need for an extra at the front.

Quality:
Guitar came fine, nothing wrong with the paint, it even came fully tuned up, For the price I payed im extremely happy.

Value:
I payed $500 for my Ax-50, it was marked down from $700 because I know the owners of the shop and got about $60 free gear with it. I was extremely happy with my purchase and from now on Im thinking off sticking with Esp\Ltd and I recommend you do to.

Desirability:
Epic, this guitar looks F**king beast!

Sound:
Absolutely love the sound, I baught this guitar today and have upgraded from an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, I prefer this axe so much more and it was half the price.

Ease of Use:
Guitar feels lovely, I remember seeing at it in the shop thinking it would be bulky and heavy I picked it up plugged it into a roland cube 30 watt turned gain right up and started shredding, It felt so natural with the neck and the shape.

Support:
Havent needed any support with it.

Overall:
Get it, all I can say.
