Back to Product Information
Sound: I didn't give it a 10 because I would prefer different pickups, but the ones that came in it sound good. Even better than that, the notes ring clear on every string on every fret; something you don't always get from guitars in this price range. Quality: for a sub $500 guitar, I can hardly find anything wrong with this guitar. It just really plays well and every note is clear. Value: Killer looks and great quality for a guitar at this price. It could easily cost $200 more. The Wow Factor: This guitar haunted my thoughts until I couldn't take it anymore. If it didn't play good and sound good the looks would hardly matter. It plays great and sounds good too. Looks awesome. Picture doesn't do it justice, it is nearly black in normal light. A little more light and you can see the smoky quilted maple. In full light it almost has a slight purple hue and the quilted maple is clear as day. The headstock has the same finish. Really beautiful and more captivating than plain black. Overall: If this thing had an ebony fret board and something other than dot inlay it would get a 10. Now I am just being picky.

Back to Product Information
Sound: This guitar has great sound too it. The only improvement could be active 81's. Which this instrument has as non active. The sound is flawless and as it is the pickups get every possible note. They're wonderful! I originally played it through a crate half stack at the store and it was soo sweet. Feature: This instrument has the greatest feel to it. An Amazingly fast neck and and isn't bolted on to the guitar, its cutt out of the body! I love the smooth look. The pickups are non active emg 81's. Their great! Quality: It has a great solid body. The neck isn't a bolt on. Its very pretty, awesome looking quilt pattern, it looks much cooler in real life. Its just an awesome guitar. Value: You get alot for your money. I went to the store expecting to spend at least an extra $200 but this had all I wanted and more for alot less than other guitars I looked at by other crappier, makers. Manufacturer Support: Never needed any and since I'll never say bad about esp (I love that company) I assume they have great service. The Wow Factor: I saw this guitar and I knew I had to have it. It softly muttered my name into my ear and screamed my riffs when I plugged it in. Overall: I expect to have this instrument the rest of my life. Granted I will buy other guitars (I collect as well as play them) I expect this will be my main guitar for a long long long long time. Unless I win the lottery and can afford a much better one, though Im not sure how they can get much better than this one already is.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I cannot express in words how awesome this guitar is. The sound is amazing and can pull off shredding metal riffs, then go to a melodic clear tone. It has non active EMG's in it. As far as metal heads go that's the second best thing you can possibly get, but for the price it is the best thing! Feature: Like all guitars you buy new it came with really cheapo strings. I bought mine from a music store in VA beach and got totally ripped off by the way! At the time though it was higher priced online by about 300 bucks so, I'm not really sure why the price has dropped so much in the last 4 years, but if it were this price when I bought it originally I would have gotten two! Its got the three knobs two control each of the pickups volume and the third is tone. A knob for each pickup is nice to get a wide range of sounds. Ease of Use: How hard are guitars to use? I mean if you know how to play they are all pretty easy right? Well tuning is really easy and it hold the tuning really well. The set neck helps with that. Replacing the strings is easy you don't have to pull them through the body or anything like that. No obsticle courses there. Its just a great guitar through and through. I love to show it off. Quality: This thing is so solid. Not in a heavy sense or anything but in a longevity kind of way. The finish is very dark, I know in the picture it seems kinda gray, but the smoke rings aren't that dominant in real life. The thing has made two moves, like to new states new houses, numerous road trips, countless practices, etc, and the finish is still flawless. Its been knocked over a couple times, banged on walls, stepped on, my 1 1/2 year old son likes to strum it, and the thing just takes the abuse. Electronically I've never had any problems with it and I don't expect I ever will. I love ESP guitars though I own several and they never cease to blow me away. Value: I wish there was a 20 on this scale. When I purchased mine I bought it from a local music store in VA beach like I mentioned earlier. The price I paid for it.... are you ready?... I payed $900 dollars for mine over 4 years ago. That's right $400 more than they want here at zzounds. Wanna know a secret? I would do it again without thinking. Just a fantastic guitar in every way. Manufacturer Support: I've actually contacted them about a different guitar I own for different reasons. They were very helpful and quick to respond (I did it via e-mail and got a response the same day). While they weren't able to help me they made some valid suggestions about what I could do and where I could do it. They stand behind their products through and through. The Wow Factor: This guitar grabbed hold of me and never let me go. I bought a coffin case with the red velvet interior for it. The look is amazingly awesome. Not to sound like a freak or anything but the thing looks, feels, smells, and hold on a sec....(lick)...ya...taste, amazing. If you would like to see how it sounds I plan to post videos of my playing the instrument on youtube.com Look up agumentas to see and hear the thing in action. Overall: I've had this guitar for 4 years as my main axe. I wouldn't change a thing I plan to continue playing it for many more years and maybe pass it down to my son when he gets older. I fully expect it to last that long and longer. If my house caught fire or was robbed the first thing I would do is run to my music room and check if it was still there. If not I would weep tears of joy to know I get to buy it all over again. I would to. The only reason I could see myself getting anything else is for that feeling and love of owning guitars. To build the collection, but never to replace this one.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Overall: Brilliant guitar, it's only my second electric but I love it to bits...plays like butter, just so easy! Fretboard isn't too narrow or thick, and the pickup/tone adjustments work great for a variety of sounds. Really good weight, feels sturdy but not too heavy that your neck and shoulders hurt after a while -overall, an exceptional guitar for the $ (particularly if you're into metal/hard rock...)Also it looks absolutely AMAZING - you have to see one for real to understand, photos cannot do this piece of functional art justice.

Sound: I'VE PLAYED HUNDREDS OF GUITARS THROUGH THE YEARS AND THIS ONE RATES RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE EXPENSIVE CLASSICS. I PLAY IT THROUGH A MARSHALL STACK AND JUST A ROCKMAN EQUALIZER. THE SOUND IS INCREDIBLE. THERE IS NO STATIC ON A CLEAN CHANNEL. I WOULD HAVE PAID DOUBLE FOR THIS GUITAR!

Sound: This guitar has great sound. It can handle any effect. I play through a zoom gfx-1 and a epiphone triggerman 100 halfstack. I have yet to record the guitar. Ease of Use: Just plug it in and jam out. Volume and tone controls work well. Right out of the box the setup is just right. Manufacturer Support: I have owned the KH202 for 2 year and havent had to contact esp. I hope to get the same service out of the EC200QM

Sound: Amazing clarity on the EMG HZ's and EMG's active. It really doesn't matter on which you get. the hotter actives are so close to the same output of the passives that's it's pointless to care which ones you get. Sounds like bells clean, sounds like hell dirty Feature: Three toggle with the hum hum configuration. Not much else you want on a Les Paul copy. Value: Still think they could do something about the price though.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I give it a 9 only because the pickups that come with it are not quite as good as I'd like. I spent another $140 on Duncans and the thing has become an "11" as far as tone. The woods, mahogany and maple, along with the rosewood fingerboard, just give this guitar the sweetest, most unique sound of any I own. I love playing it. The fingerboard and action are just superb, and as others have said, there are no dead spots, every note rings clear and sweet. Feature: The coil tap switch is excellent to have. I wired the Duncans to split the coils in an unusual way and this puppy just sings. The woods selected are excellent as is the hardware. Just NO setup issues on this guitar at all, it's perfect. Ease of Use: Effortless to play, almost too easy. Quality: I give it a ten, and I've owned Fender, Gibson, and Taylor US-made and custom shop stuff. It's as good if not better than anything I own. Value: Worth more than I paid for it. Manufacturer Support: Never had a problem or needed support. The Wow Factor: The quilt top and finish really make this one stand out. Overall: This is one I really think I'll never sell.
