Feature:
With a tone and pickup selector on the guitar, many different sounds are available, the light weight allows the guitar to be played for long periods with ease and the 24 frets allow for more notes than many other guitars.

Quality:
The guitar seems to be very hard wearing (considering the abuse mine gets versus the very small damage to it) and is well made.

Value:
I believe it's definatley worth the money, it's a great guitar and very cheap.

Desirability:
Looks very aggresive, an obvious metal guitar.

Sound:
Can be used for mellow tones, but much more compatible with aggressive tones, sounds better live than recorded (although this may be due to my recording equipment rather than the guitar itself) Ecellent for solos and backing guitar pieces alike.

Ease of Use:
The thin neck allows for the chords to be played easily and slides are no problem. The only downside is that the body shape makes it difficult to reach the highest frets.

Support:
The company helped me pick the guitar I wanted and threw in a deal with it, they also helped me pick out a hard wearing wah pedal.

Overall:
I think that if (or when given my clumsy nature) my guitar needs replaced, I'll probably buy the same brand or maybe it's successor, for now I intend to simply rapair or buy upgrades for it.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Hardly any features, but It's so nice, it doesn't need them, other than maybe a whammy bar.

Quality:
Very well made. Not much you can say other than on mine, the neck was a bit bowed, but they even gave you a little Allan wrench to fix that.

Value:
Pretty damn cheap. Not many guitar brands sell a guitar this high quality for that much.

Desirability:
Wow, I was looking at a les paul, and i said that i like the shape to some degree, but i want some more... points. I saw this, and i fell apart, plus it was within my spending limit.

Sound:
Awesome metal sound. One of the best sounds i've ever heard, and this thing is a cheap one.

Ease of Use:
It is absolutely great. It's my first guitar, and I don't think that it could be much better, other than maybe needing a wider neck.

Support:
I haven't need support, because even the neck problem only took like five minutes to get fixed.

Overall:
I expect that this particular guitar will follow me forever. I will never let it go other than when i die. I may play other guitars, but this one will stay

Feature:
Not many features. Just a plain good guitar for the money. doesnt need any crazy features. Its fine as it is.

Quality:
This a solid well made guitar. This would be the bully in school. I've had it for about 5 years and it only has about 3 tiny marks on it. I've dropped it quite a few times but its just hard as nails. I'd definatley use it on the road. It hasnt let me down once in the whole 5 years i've had it.

Value:
My first guitar and what a price. I tried quite a few on the day i got and this was cheapest but it just sounded better than the others.

Desirability:
The shape on this is amazing. The shape it what caught my eye. Its not to over the top its just right. Think BC rich but a bit more subtle. Black is the perfect colour for it.

Sound:
This guitar is a METAL guitar no doubt about it. It just has so much punch to it. I have 6 guitars including this one and it just sounds so beefy compared to the others. I'm not sayin its better but i do think it sounds better for Metal. It sounds real good clean but with the looks its got clean doesnt really suit it so i just pick up this bad boy when i wanna playin some flippin heavy metal. I have no issues with the sound of this guitar whatsoever.

Ease of Use:
Its very easy to use. It has the biggest neck out of my collection but it feels just as comfortable. I have ernie balls not even slinky strings on it and it holds them nicely. Its quite a heavy guitar but its perfect for me and doesnt cause me any problems.

Support:
havent needed any

Overall:
Just an amazing guitar to start off with. It my first guitar and i couldnt get read of it cos its what made me the guitarist i am today. If you wanna start playing metal and even if you do have a massive budget you gotta try this cos this is a flippin good guitar.

Feature:
first off Id have to point out that the deal your getting for this gitfiddle is nice its a good starter ltd the shape takes some getting used to of course but look at it

Quality:
all in all this is a pretty solid gitfiddle the body is thick and everything is on place (well mine was atleast) and Ive never heard of an ltd wacking out on anybody

Value:
this guitar is atleast worth 325.00 but your getting a sweet deal with this one

Desirability:
this fiddle is crazy as hell nice shape but it takes time to get used to it ltd never fails when it comes to design

Sound:
very punchy tone and alot of nice distortion I dont even need to get a distorion pedal I can make this guitar squeal like a stuck piggy

Ease of Use:
like I stated earlier I didnt even need to use my distortion pedal for this thing and I have no problem pulling pinch harmonicks the neck is my favorite part xj frets make sweeping a dream its so easy and all the higher pitched frets are easily acess

Support:
I love ltd but I dont recommend buying an ltd for anything but metal/hardcore/hard rock the only thing thats ever happened to me that was bad with an ltd was that I got shocked in the middle of playing I was literally shocked by everything metal on the guitar but it stopped after i took a break but I was definitely reluctant to pick it up again hah

Overall:
all in all this gitfiddle is really nice definitely a good deal for only 200$ you should run out and pick it up no doubt its show worthy

Feature:
They deffinately did a good job at putting this together. In comparison with the bigger ones (F 150 and F 400) it is still jsut as awesome. I think they could have added another pickup, and maybe another knob.

Quality:
Very well put together. Very durable, and the paint doesn't chip off quite as easily as other guitars I have owned.

Value:
You sure get a hell of a lot of guitar for your money.

Desirability:
I saw the solid black in the guitar shop, and I asked if the could ship in the black cherry. So, an hour later, after seeing it in this color, it was mine. No questions asked. I picked it over a sweet silver Ibanez... so that tells you something.

Sound:
Awesome sound... but comes with 10 guage strings... (suggest getting new 9 guage set up put on) Sounds great with any type of distortion, or just playing clean.

Support:
I don't know

Overall:
I will always have this guitar, from now until forever. Whether you are just starting out, or have bene playing awhile... it is great for all skill levels. Great guitar to grow into for beginners, and a great guitar for experienced players to pick up and just play.

Feature:
The features are very good. It didn't come with any accesories. The only thing you really need on it is a whammy bar. It is awesome for playing rythm.

Quality:
For this guitar, the quality is almost perfect. It only lists for $319 and the quality is better than most $500-$600 dollar guitar that i've played

Value:
The product is worth every penny of $319 dollars and the fact that you can get it as low as $169.95, that is a steal.

Desirability:
the shape is just amazing. I even threatened to leave my girlfriend for it. It is just that sexy

Sound:
for this being a $300 guitar, the sound is amazing. It has a nice clean sound when both pickups are on but it also has an amazing distorted. sound. Awesome guitar.

Ease of Use:
This is a very playable guitar. The neck is so smooth and amazing. I absolutely love it. You plug it in and go.

Support:
i haven't had to deal with them, but i am sure they would be great.

Overall:
I hope a very very long time.

A bit heavy sounding, but can still be awesome on anything.

Sound:
I love this guitar, it has the perfect feedback level for lead and has a nice crunch, for rhythm. It can sound anyway I want it to. Simply amazing! And at a great price too.

Overall:
This guitar is the answer to my musical prayers, and I'm sure it will be for a long time.
