"all in all, typical cheap guitar problems none are serious, very good guitar all around, great sound, great look, and usuability"

Sound: I like the sound of this guitar rocemend getting medium blues strings for a good over all sound between classic rock, metal, or even just every day nice guy playing :P Feature: where i got it from came with a bunch of accesories, but iv done business with this company and there very good recomend getting products from them!!!! Ease of Use: well considering i played a bass for 5 years then quit for 4 years, and now sttarted playing a guitar... iv advanced on this VERY easly, and in only 2 months of playing it iv gotten esceptionally better recomend this one for beginners very good starter guitar!!! Quality: Mine has a good body and the neck is easy to manuver on the bridges sound great clean and crisp unless distorted then you get that ripping sound that all hard rockers want!!! only down set i had was the tone knob came loos esy fix though just a tighten and it was done, do recomend new strings with it though, but outta professeion with my past basses almost any new guitar needs strings right away cuz we all have our own brand that sound good to US... oh and one more thought on that i love the paint job verty nice!!!! Value: i got mine on sale AT THE TIME!!!!! 150 dollars off of the dealer price of 299 yea dealer markup for ya! lol but yes for the price even if i did pay the 299 it would have been worth it all the way!!!!! Manufacturer Support: there is a esp dealer i live buy he knows what hes talking about and he is awalys bending over backwards to help a coustmer out. The Wow Factor: IT has what i see in a guitar except.... well lets put it this way i want a badass design on mine but there are only 2 ways to get that and ones it custom air brushing and the other is the company you buy it from puts it on for you. but yes this guitar look sweet in any of the colors it comes in!!!! Overall: one day i will have a better guitar BUT... i will never sell this one and i will awalys use this one cuz the ease of use and the fact of the matter is that this guitar is just plain a damn good souning and looking guitar, i recomend that if your considering this guitar GET IT!!!!! you wont be dissipointed, espically for "the new guys" of music creation!!!

Style of Music: i like to play classic rock, alternative, grunge, hard rock, blues and, metal, listen to it all too

"I LOVE THIS GUITAR!"

Sound: this guitar sounds incredible for its price Feature: everything about this guitar is fine with me.....when i first got it, the action was kinda high so i lowered it and this guitar is amazing. this guitar could be sold for about 350 easily. Quality: esp= pure quality, i dont think esp makes one bad guitar or bass Value: if u are thinking about buying this guitar, dont even think, just get it. im really happy with the quality of this guitar. Overall: this is the best guitar i have ever bought for 200 bucks. its incredible. i will have it for a long time. the only thing i dont like about this guitar is that the neck falls torwards the floor when u let go of it because one of the strap holders is on the back of the guitar....but that doesnt have anything to do with the playing ability of this guitar. go buy it!

Style of Music: metal/hardcore
