"A really great guitar"

Feature:
I would say the best. The guitar came with all the proper tools and they all fit where they are suppose to. I think the features are all good because it's desighned to kirks specs so I cant complain about what I think it should or shouldn't have, It is what it is suppose to be.

Quality:
Well you get what you pay for if that helps at all. There are some flaws on my kh202, nothing major but that's to be expected with any guitar that comes off of an assembly line. They all can be fixed. I think if you take care of this guitar I'm shure it would hold up on the road, just regular maintenance and cleaning. I dont think anything would break untill something does actually break..lol. I am always leary of floating bridges that the studs might rip out of the body if you put too much ass on it, but thats with every guitar that has one not just the ltd.

Value:
The value rocks if your a starving musician like myself. I give it a 10.

Desirability:
The look is awesome, you can't ever go wrong with and skull and crossbones. I was however a little dissapointed with the hardware. The advertisement said it was black hardware but in fact it came with nickel hardware, but no big deal it can be swapped.

Sound:
The sound overall is good. I really only use the bridge pickup with the tone wide open. I did think that with both pickups activated the sound was muddy and a little dull but like I said I dont really use both. But yes the sound over all is good.

Ease of Use:
I would also say the best. As far as sound...well there are alot of factors that come into play, like amps and what not. The kh 202 is very playable and the manual is very clear on how to properly care for your guitar. Also it seems to be compatable with the rest of my gear so I give this section a 10.

Support:
I give it a 10, because I havent had to deal with them yet and honestly I don't think I will ever need to. Innocent untill proven guily..lol

Overall:
I expect I will be happy with this product for along time, This is my first ltd and I will probably never play another brand.

"KH-202 yes..."

Feature:
The floyd rose locking temolo system was nice. oh and it has an awsome headstock and the strings are real close to the fretboard so its easy to fret.

Quality:
well see i dont know this... because i used it in a store but it seemed solid..

Value:
this guitar is totally worth the price. i would pay thousands to sound like metallica ok well maybe not thousands since you can get this for $419 and sound like them.

Desirability:
wooo doggy this guitar is sexy..

Sound:
This guitar has a really awsome heavy sound when you use it with a good amp. i was at a guitar store and i got it turned up the amp and played a single power chord and it was so awsome and so heavy that i fell in love with the guitar.

Ease of Use:
Well you see ive only played about 15 guitars in my life and out of every single one this is the easiest to play.

Support:
pssh i dont know

Overall:
i love this guitar and i cant wait till it ships to me and when i get it i will play it for 4 days straight.. ok maybe not but a long time.
