"LTD Ninja is the greatest V ever"

Feature:
The bone-head that complained that this is not as good a value as the Razorback because it does not have a Floyd Rose. He also stated that this guitar does not have a trem like Michael Amott's "actual guitar". First, Floyd Rose trems are JUNK! Ask ANY guitar tech worth his salt, and they will say the same. They are a MAJOR pain in the butt to set up and when you bend notes on the fretboard, the trem moves! In a nutshell,...you never actually reach your musical direction when bending notes on a FR equipt guitar. The other thing is that this guitar should not be compared to the razorback. They are very different guitars. The Ninja is a short scale 22 fret neck. The Razorback is 24 frets, 25.5" neck. One is a Floyd Rose guitar, the Ninja is a fixed bridge. Secondly,....Michael Amott's guitar does NOT have a tremolo on it. He has NEVER used one in his career. I am a huge Arch Enemy and Carcass fan. I've seen them live. Michael Amott used an ESP gibson replica V before this model came out. He played a Les Paul in the Johan Liiva AE period.

Quality:
Super. I doubt anyone other than a true pro-level player can tell the difference between this and a ESP japanese model. For a fraction of the price, the LTD is 95%+ as good as its more expensive cousin.

Sound:
Seymour Duncans, thru-neck, tone pros bridge. HELLO! Fat tone, great components, no complaints

Ease of Use:
No problems. Needs a bit of set up and fine tuning like any guitar, but plays just super. Highly recommend.

Support:
no experience.

Overall:
This is a rad guitar. The knucklehead who claims "Michael is a good guitarist, but half of his strength lies in how easy his guitar is to play. Don't sit down with it, though" does not know what he's talking about. The guiar is great. But dont be fooled. You either have the chops, or you dont. Michael Amott could shred on a $50 wal mart guitar and make most of us look like fools. As for sitting down with a V,....its easy! The guitar sits on your right leg.

"Michael AMOTT!!! Nemesis."

Feature:
I love this guitar. Esp's fantastic. Their guitar come made to play straight out of the box. The only thing i wish it had was 24 frets. Then again its based on someone elses guitar. The features of this guitar are all top of the line, pro features.

Quality:
If yoiu take care of it, it will take care of you. It chips somewhat easily, just be careful and it should be just fine. Also the on the road is great, it should last very well.

Value:
Most definetly worth every f*&^ing penny.

Desirability:
Its extremely sexy i think.

Sound:
The sound this guitar makes is sheer genius. It sings in clean, rocks in overdrive and thrashes with large amounts of overdrive added. This guitar could be compatible in any situation or musical style.

Ease of Use:
This is one of the truly greatest sounding guitars I own. I own nothing but esp's and jackson's and this guitar stomps on all of them (except my Alexi 600 :p). Its extremely playable the shorter neck compliments the 22 fret design.

Support:
I havent had to deal with any support.

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied for a large amount of years.

"Anyone who saw Arch Enemy on last summer's Ozzfest knows Michael's technique is as scary as anyone's. The ESP and LTD Ninja models are perfect for guitarists who want to add some aggression to their look and their sound."
