What to Look For in an Electric Guitar

Playability, tonewoods, pickups, and looks all play important roles in determining just which guitar is the best fit for you.

Comfortable Agathis Body and Striking Double Cutaway

A Rocking Pair of ESP LH-100 Humbuckers

Dependable Hardware

Your die-cast tuners, control knobs, and Tune-o-matic bridge look sleek against this axe's shape and color. Your Tune-o-matic bridge is a solid and sturdy harness for your strings and keeps them ringing in enduring sustain and in tune for extended periods of playing.

Comfortable Bolt-on Maple Neck

Also, since there is no glue used in the joint, your neck delivers more high-end frequencies, making this guitar nice for lead playing.
