Everyone tells me that I have a sexy guitar now! Overall: It will last me as long as it lasts. sure, I'll get new guitars, but I will use each one.

Sound: The sound is really incredible, handles great distortion, wonderful with clean, and overall perfect for agressive playing or metal. 10/10 baby! YEAH! Feature: The features it had are stated in the product disctription. It's not a whole lot of bells and whistles, but what it DOES have will blow you out of the water with it's quality. Simply awesome. Ease of Use: This is an extremely easy to play guitar. The jumbo frets help a crapload, and the smooth neck is fast and sleek. Very easy to play. Quality: There isn't a question about the quality of this guitar, it will last for years and years, easily. Very dependable. Value: INCREDIBLE value!! Really! It's AWESOME to own this thing, it felt great just taking out of the box, and it feels like something worth 2g's. Manufacturer Support: I've heard their good with support, but I'v never had to deal with them, and that shouldn't take away from the overall rating. The Wow Factor: This guitar is SEXY. That's all that needs to be said about it. I love the black color, and it all blends together into one fantastic and shred worthy machine. Just seeing it is AWESOME! Really, I can say that this guitar is going to be my favorite for a looooong time, if not forever. It has all I want, and need. Overall: Awesome, no question at all. It shall provide tons of melodious shredding, and raw power beyond all. Having this guitar is almost overwhelming, it's just sooo awesome to have...

Sound: 9 only because i dont believe in "perfect" but if there was such a thing, this guitar would be pretty damn close. The body was what attracted me first, everyone around me was getting V's or regular Strat body type guitars. Not only the body, but the way this fits in my hands feels like my own signature model. It sounds that way to. With the strings all heavy (I use DR tite-fits .009) and the bridge make this a heavy metal instrument. Ease of Use: Very easy guitar. Fast neck, although your hand might get stuck from all the sweat if you play to long. Getting down to the 20's is pretty easy too, but not for extensive use like on any guitar. Quality: Very great quality. When I got it i thought it was the wrong kind. It came out the box literally looking like a million bucks! Value: Easily worth 500+ better than half the stuff out there. The Wow Factor: I love the shape it stands out so much when im on stage, especially when the people around me have Randy Rhoads/Gibson V's, or extra "shiny" guitars. And im a rhythm player, so this gives me the recognition i need. Overall: I expect this guitar to last me a lifetime, definitely keeping it for that long too! this guitar makes me a better player. Because i gotta play like this guitar looks, cool! I will definitely give it some attention maybe a boob job (pickups) and a good polish every now and then.

Sound: Pickups sound great, and it sounds awesome right out of the box. Feature: It would be nice with a Floyd Rose or a locking tremolo. Other than that the bridge and hardware is nice. Ease of Use: Very, very easy to use, and despite its shape it sits in my lap comfortable. It leans a little forward with a strap, but I use straplocks. Quality: Great quality, very durable guitar. Value: Very good value for such a fine guitar. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to contact them, so I'll say great. The Wow Factor: Super sexy guitar, the all black paint, and chrome black hardware looks awesome. Also, the Gibson Explorer shaped body justy makes it that much more desirable. Overall: An extremely great guitar overall.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: This guitar can handle the toughest distortion and it still sounds great. The clean sound sounds so incredible that it sends chills down your spine! This guitar can haldle anything you throw at it! Feature: The EMG's sound great. The thin neck is easy to play on. It also has a set neck so it has great sustain. The only thing is that the black finish is hard to keep clean. Ease of Use: Awesome playability!! Easy to play and even comfortable to sit with. Quality: This guitar is made to last. It is made out of outstanding parts. Value: I would gladly pay above the list price. This guitar rocks! The Wow Factor: This guitar looks great. The finish is kinda hard to keep clean though, but a cloth and some polish will take care of that. Overall: Best guitar ever. Best buy out there, period.

Back to Product Information

Sound: This guitar has the nicest "clean" sound I've heard for quite a while. I was really impressed with the clean tone. Plug it into a DOD250 or boss DS-1 and you definitely get the Metallica sound. Feature: I like the push-pull tone knob. It allows you to fine tune each pickup individually. Ease of Use: VERY easy to play. Nicely balanced. Quality: The finish is flawless. A little hard to keep clean, but then again it is a black guitar. Stays in tune VERY well. The Wow Factor: I already own it. I have two favorites, and this guitar is one of them. The other is my Dean CFH. Overall: Not bad for a Gibson knock-off.

Sound: this thing cradles distortion really well & sounds like a punch in the face. the clean tones are really smoothe & crisp & the distortion is immaculate. Feature: i love the way this thing is put together. the only real significant differance between this and a 400 is the pickups. this has esp-emgs while the 400 is stock with real emgs. Ease of Use: the neck is uber thin & fast like a warlock & everything is really easy to adjust Quality: it looks and sounds great my only problem is it is very top heavy & falls wen u let go of the neck. Value: this things is well worth the price. The Wow Factor: it is a sexy guitar. my friend even said "I'd tap that" Overall: this thing is perfect. i haven't touched my other guitars since i got this one

Sound: Sound on this guitar is kick ass, i didnt like the clean tones though, I have a Strat Copy and that guitar gives me a really neat clean tone....This Guitar ROcks On Distortion, I can hear each notes clearly when playing with distortion....I wish i could change the pickups to EMG 81/85, However i think i cant, as those are active pups and the body of this guitar doesnt have the Slot to fit in the Battery for the Active pup's Feature: I love the Shape of the Guitar, And the Action on it was set just right to play right out of the Box, I really love the Push/Pull Switch, That gives me a chance to experiment with the Tone. And the Finish on the Guitar is Excellent....Am i love with the Guitar for sure :) Ease of Use: Pretty Simple Controls, Action is Just Perfect, Good Intonation and the next is pretty fast......Its really a cool deal for the price Quality: ESP is known for its amazing quality products......This Guitar Rocks In all sense Value: My Rating Says it all.......Its Super Cool deal for the $$$$$ Manufacturer Support: Didnt have to contact them Yet Overall: I would Use it for Life!!!!!!!!!!
