Quality:
There were no loose parts as far as I could see. The product was very well finished and looked very nicely crafted. It would be a great guitar for use "on the road" as you wouldn't need any backup guitar, this guitar could last a life-time. This product is 100% reliable.

Value:
Yes, this product is well worth it's price, buy it, you will not be disappointed.

Desirability:
The great look of the guitar would suit many ideas that people had about what they would like to do with their music style. If stunning music is wanted, I would recommend this instrument.

Sound:
The sound of this product was just fantastic, the quality of the sound was also brilliant which made my playing sound much more professional. I was looking for a great sound for soloing and that's how it played. It would be compatible with most music styles as it is of high quality.A live sound would sound just as "crazy" as a recording, this guitar really does have all a lead guitarist would need. My tip to make this product sound better is, keep practising and it will.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I would only be looking for another instrument so I could add to my collection to play different guitars in different songs, this guitar would always be one of my favourites. This product can meet any music goals set. If the guitar went missing, then i'd buy another, no other guitar can reach the limits to excellent music like these esp guitars.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
I think the best features are the trem system and the EMGs. The Floyd Rose is pretty cool because you can detune the guitar as low as you want by tweaking the screws in the back compartment. The EMGs give the guitar a bright sound and you get excellent harmonics out of them.

Quality:
I think the guitar will last forever. The only thing is the paint gets smudged easy so I have to polish it before gigs.

Value:
It's a pretty decent price for what you get. You can't find too many guitars that are neck through body for this price.

Desirability:
Skulls!

Sound:
The sound is kind of deep with brilliant highs and bassy lows. If you put the OD on the max and turn the volume down on the guitar you get a bluesy sound.

Support:
I haven't had any problems with it.

Overall:
I plan on using this guitar professionally.

The skull inlays are awesome and the reverse head stock.

Feature:
just the guitar... came with awesome pickups.. and it has a neck-thru neck. this guitar is better than the KH-2 in that sense, apart from the fact that its maple wood not alder.

Quality:
could be better.. don't really spot any difference apart from its made in Korea.. It could only be better if made in america and it said "caution Hot" just like kirks... or even the ouija airbrush pictures.

Value:
dam cheap for what it is!!

Desirability:
OMG.. I bought this guitar straight away, but if i had brought another guitar and couldn't refund it.. i'd be one peessed off mother...

Sound:
Has the best pick ups ever!! emg-81..

Support:
Esp are known to be pretty dam excellent with their service

Overall:
Apart from the original guitar which kirk has(which is also neck thru, unlike the KH2 which is bolt on), its the best. Its the fastest guitar ever.. and you get accuarcy too!! I admit.. gibsons are better from rhythym guitar, but they just aren't as good for playing solos. They don't even compare. The neck makes you go sooooo.. fast.. and your fingers get motivated by it.. makes you feel incredible

Feature:
Again great, the pickups are a real asset, the thru design just adds to the quality. Brilliant

Quality:
Possible one of the best built guitars ever. The quality is only really matched by a good Gibson.

Value:
This guitar is brilliant, and at the price its going for its fantastic

Desirability:
Just look at it, as heavy rock/metal guitars go they don't come better looking.

Sound:
Brilliant tone and great sustain. The pickups are great for soloing.

Support:
I havn't had to contact ESP yet as nothing at all has gone wrong so i'll give them 10 out of 10 for that.

Overall:
Fantastic really, i bought this guitar to replace my Strat and have never looked back.
