"All you need to know is that its an ESP."
Feature:
The pickups, finish and comfort of playing this monstrosity are simply beautiful. This is a well crafted guitar.

Quality:
Better than Gibson.

Value:
Comparing the price and sound of this guitar to anything else on the market in this price range, i wouldn't buy anything else.

Desirability:
If this guitar were a woman, I would do unforgivable things to it.

Sound:
I play this beast of a machine through a Peavey ValveKing Head on a Marshall 1960 cab. To say the least the sound is massive and destructively loud. Very very heavy.

Ease of Use:
Right out of the box - Sounds better than any Gibson I've ever heard.

Support:
Never had to deal with ESP personally so I'm assuming they are damn good.

Overall:
The best guitar I've played for the price. It just sounds amazing.

"I'm in love"
Feature:
tuners are awesome the thing stays in tune better than I ever thought it would. Intonates amazingly

Quality:
Everything thus far is still factory perfect quality, but I did pretty much just get it, however I'd have to say every part feels like it was built to last

Value:
Worth every penny. If anything ever happened to this guitar I'd cry like a ten year old girl.

Desirability:
When I get old I wont need viagra. Ill Just look at my guitar

Sound:
Just outta the box this thing had a ton of pure raw crunch. Exactly what I was looking for when I decided to purchase this guitar. The 81/60 combo is awesome. I use the guitar mainly for a lot of metal so it definitely suits those needs, but even on the clean channel the active pickups just seem to give it more clarity then you'd ever hear with passives.

Ease of Use:
vol vol tone & toggle does'nt get much easier to make a few simple adjustments to get the sound your lookin for

Support:
Don't know from personal experiece..hopefully never have to, but I've heard good things

Overall:
I love it more than I love Ribs, and I'm a man who LOVES his ribs.
