I really love this guitar. I have a 50's Tribute Gibson Les Paul and have hardly picked it up since my eclipse came in.... The neck through construction has forever sustain and a great balance for my playing style. Thanks zZounds for offering the pmt options, otherwise, a poor budding musician such as myself would not be able to own such a great guitar... Thanks zZounds!!!!

Sound
Good, but I will be probably changing the humbuckers soon.
Features
The humbumbuckers are pretty good for what I play. I might swap them out soon though. Stays in tune amazingly well. Setup right out of the box and the gloss make this baby stand out.
Quality
I played an ESP Custom Mirage a year ago and this guitar feels just as sturdy. Extremely comfortable to play on even at a professional level.
Manufacturer Support
No issues so far, but got a free case since I bought it during a promo.

The guitar was shipping well packed and upon opening the box was extremely amazed at the look and quality of this guitar. I spend quite awhile looking over the guitar and couldn't find so much as the slightest flaw. The neck is amazing and it plays like a dream. This is the 3rd ESP LTD guitar that I've owned and I this confirms that ESP makes an amazing guitar whether it's in Japan or Korea. Kudo's to ESP for making such a fine product. On another note, zZounds processed my order promptly and shipping immediately. This is the first guitar purchase on zZounds and won't be my last.

Musical Background:

Been playing guitar for over 40 years and have been in several bands over the years.

I am pretty eclectic but I tend to lean more towards Norwegian Black Metal and hard rock (especially Mayhem and Ghost).
