Description
From Our Catalog
ESP Guitars has introduced the LTD JH600, a new Signature Series guitar created from a custom design by guitarist Jeff Hanneman of Slayer. The JH600 features neck-thru-body construction for killer sustain, an alder body, 3-piece maple neck with an ebony fingerboard, EMG 81 and 85 active pickups, white binding on the neck and headstock and a Kahler Hybrid Bridge. This guitar really is the total package.

"Killer guitar! Buy One or at least try one before you buy anything! Amazing feel and incredible tone!"
Feature:
For the price you get all kinds of cool stuff. Tuners are good, body through neck, trem is good (or is as good as any I've used). Trem feels different than the Floyd Rose I have on my other axe in a good way. Prefer switch that this has over the slider on my other guitars. Neck feels incredible. Picked up 30 other guitars at the two major retailers I went to and I knew as soon as I picked up this guitar and strummed it a few times this was the one I was gonna get!

Quality:
I think the guitar is built really well. I like the thicker neck at the head. Little details like this I think are what make up the character of the guitar. The white binding at the top of the neck that runs full length is another nice feature that adds to the overall quality. The form and fit of this guitar is flat out sexy...

Value:
Well I picked up and played other guitars that were more expensive and I thought this guitar played as well as any of them and preferred it to all of them. I honestly didn't play any other guitar at any price I preferred more. The guitar feels great and it looks great. Of course I have the model with the slayer eagles inlaid. I don't think the newer model without them looks as good, but without a doubt it's still a sweet axe. One of the things that I really like is the fact that it already has the EMG pickups I wanted. So I saved having to go and buy them, then dropping off my guitar and waiting for someone else to work on it. I hate dropping the guitar off for adjustment bad enough as it is. It also already has the floyd rose locking nut which is the one I'd put on it if it didn't already come on it...so that's more value. The only thing I might change out is the trem. I think I might go with a more expensive kahler model in hopes to find one that will stay in tune better when used.

Desirability:
This guitar is sexy. I like the extra little cut out on the bottom of the guitar face and the sweet black finish. The eagle inlays are cool, the all black hardware really set it off. All around from every angle it just has that super gloss black finish with smooth edges and sweet lines.

Sound:
For the metal stuff I like to play you just can't go wrong with these pickups! BTW no middle annoying get in your way pickup!

Ease of Use:
As I said above, the action on this thing is incredible. Before it even got adjusted it played incredible, after proper adjustment it was the perfect guitar for me.

Support:
I have not had to use the support but from what I ready while researching the guitar for the few days between when I played it and when I bought it I didn't read anything negative that I can remember.

Overall:
Overall I would have to say I do not feel the need to buy any other guitars. This one is everything I wanted in a metal guitar. I won't be buying another guitar. The real question I've been trying to decide is do I sell my other two electrics since I just can't imagine playing them now. They just don't compare, so why bother right? If you can afford this guitar I suggest you at least pick one up. If you don't have the money to get this model I suggest saving up a bit longer and going to this class of guitar. There is a major difference between 3, 4, and $500 guitars and $9, 10 and $1,100 guitars. I know that sounds obvious but after playing two $500 guitars for over 10 years and then getting this one I just gotta think of how much more I would have played if I'd just traded those two in on something like this way back then!

"beautiful guitar"
Feature:
mmmm. the guitar is 24 frets has a floyd rose better than a kahler bridge in my opinion. ebony neck feels like pure silk on the fingers

Quality:
this product quality is great. it was perfect out of the box

Value:
i was going to buy an alexi laiho signature guitar.but thank god i got this it ost 949 hundred dollars less than the alexi laiho guitar it has 2 pickups it has an ebony neck most guitars dont have ebony they have some kind of rosewood

Desirability:
this thing looks bad ass the head of the guitar the shape the floyd rose everything about it is perfect

Sound:
2 active emg pickups. they sound awesome

Ease of Use:
plug it in and it kicks ass unless you have a crappy amp. some beginners may have problems changing strings since is a floyd rose also tuning is kind of a pain in the ass since you have to unlock the nut and adjust tuning from string to string and sometimes you adjust one and other one goes out of tune but after is tune up is perfect because floyd wont let it go out of tune.and you can do all the crazy dive bombs and stuff you want

Support:
cant say anything about support never hard problems with my guitar

Overall:
i love this guitar.
