Just like other reviews for the ESP B - 55, this is very good quality for the price. Obviously, I had to make some adjustments from how it was set up when I received it. After that was complete, I find it to be a very nice guitar. Plays great, looks great and has a nice tone to it. The only two negatives are this : The pickups sound good and have a nice tone but they are pretty weak. You will need to have a more powerful amp or a pickup booster pedal to compensate. Also the tone knob does not do much. If you turn the treble down , the volume drops substantially. Needs to be wide open to get the full effect of the pickups which are weak to begin with. Other than those two issues it is very nice for the money.
