Feature:
The main problem that I found with this guitar is that the whammy bar will only allow you to dive-bomb (slam it down), and not get the pitch screaming up high. This is probably one of the main reasons why it isn't a $250 guitar.Everything else works great. The pickups are really nice as well.

Quality:
I would, without a doubt, play this guitar at any show because I know that nothing is going to go wrong with this guitar. I have had it for about 3 months now and it is still in the same quality as when I had recieved it! The finish it good looking, althought it will show very easily andy pick scratches, sweat marks, or fingerprints, due to the satin finish, just a little more than any other black guitar I have played.

Value:
This is the best guitar that I have played at this price, even compared to some other guitars that cost more!

Desirability:
The reason why I looked at this guitar is because of the look, then the value! As far as the sex appeal of this bad boy here, I absolutely love the look. The only thing that (in my opinion) beats this look, would either be the LTD F-200 and other guitars with that style, but for the most part, I love the looks of this axe!

Sound:
This guitar has the sound that I was looking for, primarily based on Metallica and other metal bands. The only problem I have experienced is that the sound has a little bit of a higher-pitched twang, mostly when palm-muting. That is the only reason why it is not at a 10.

Support:
I wouldn't know, I have had no problems with the item.....yet.....So I was nice and gave it a 10.

Overall:
I would only replace this guitar with another LTD or ESP model axe that had a reverse headstock, with a double-locking tremolo, because we all know that we want to take our notes higher than what the fretboard allows! ;) Definatly will stick to the ESP/LTD name brand!

Feature:
Has everything I need and want in a guitar plus a little extra. Came with a whammy bar and the store threw in a case as well.

Quality:
The quality is great. I would deffinately use it for a show. One thing that I didn't like was all the fingerprints that were left behind after just five minutes of play.

Value:
This guitar, in my opinion plays better then some other name brand guitars that are priced higher than it. My friend just bought a Fender Stratocaster and when we jam in his basement you can deffinately tell the difference between my guitar and his (mine being the better sounding guitar).

Desirability:
I've been told by many people that my guitar looks alot like Kirk Hammet's guitar and been asked if it is. I tell them no but it sounds jus as good. People really seem to like it.

Sound:
This guitar has without a doubt the best sound out of all my guitars. First time I plugged it in it just blew me away.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use and easy to get used to. Thought it would take a while to get a feel for it but it was the proper weight and hung just right to fit my playing style.

Support:
I realy haven't had a problem with it since I had it.

Overall:
I expect this guitar to last me many years or at least until I get a better one. I think in the future I'm going to see if the store I bought it from can replace the double ESP pickups with EMG pickups or just buy a Viper or something with the EMG pickups. This guitar totally made me happy in the way it met my expectations. I will deffinately tell my friends about these guitars.

Feature:
doesnt have much features one i like was the whammy bar made it nice

Quality:
made good solid frame

Value:
got mine at zzounds for 130.00

Desirability:
nice flat paint

Sound:
the sound is good for metal and hardcore rock

Ease of Use:
great for beginners

Support:
nevered had to use it

Overall:
this guitar is great for anyone whos looking for a good hard rocking guitar

Feature:
a good thing is that it has a wammy bar. it also has a volume + tone knobs(whopee). what i dont like is that it has a 3 way switch instead of a 5 way. the neck has easy acces.

Quality:
the guitar is great. stays in tune, doesn't break. real easy to work with.

Value:
with this price you can't go wrong. very good for beginners or professinal.

Desirability:
it's a basic body. the only thing cool is that the head tilts up instead of down like other brands.

Sound:
the sound is great for a guitar this price. with distortion it's pretty cool. of course you would need a pretty descent amp do make this guitar sound good.

Support:
ESP...what to say...good support i hace 2 other guitars of theirs. goood customer support.

Overall:
i've had this guitar for 11 months and i'm buying a diiferent guitar because i got too bored with this guitar.

Feature:
reverse head, pickup adaptabilty, and easy to play,

Quality:
ESP quality, well made

Value:
yes, affordable doesn't mean poor quality

Desirability:
looks like a KH-2

Sound:
sweet Metallica would use it

Overall:
If I were to get another, i'd make sure that it had 24 frets instead of two and the pickups would be EMG-81's wit a locking bridge system and locking tuner's (Spertzel) and some inlays preferably skulls or spiders would give it that extra edge

Feature:
It came with a perfect set action, as i have ordered it from Germany. The only thing i didnt like about it is the chrome hardware, because the nowadays M50 Model has Black, and black hardware goes much better with the black satin finish. It also features a vintage tremolo, a bolt on neck, rosewood fingerboard, esp non locking tuners..but i have also changed them to Grover, and it stays much longer in tune now.

Quality:
This guitar is very durable

Value:
This guitar definetly worths being bought for the price, and you put 150$ in the new pickups and grover tuners, and you get a very nice guitar

Desirability:
As I previous said, the guitar is good looking, but i dislike the chrome hardware, i think i might install black, or change the colour of the current one to black, but otherwise, a very sexy guitar.

Sound:
This was first guitar, i bought it 1 year ago, and i still own it. The sound quality is medium, but it can be improved, by chaning pickups (totally worth it!), i have changed mine to EMG HZ and now it sounds much better! This guitar is perfect for all kinds of types of music, from bluesy stuff to metal and beyond

Ease of Use:
Like every guitar, its easy to use and it is very versatile

Overall:
After a few investmens I consider this guitar over a lot of entry level guitars from ESP, and I might even compare it to those high end ones, of course, excepting the Floyd Rose tremolo category..because..this kind of guitar does not have something like tis

Feature:
not many features, but still a good, solid guitar.

Quality:
very very very very very very very very very well made. love the blue satin finish.

Value:
definetly worth much more than the price... (i have a very strong opinion on this guitar, as you can see...)

Desirability:
uh...it looks great, but...that's a strange way to put it.

Sound:
gets a great sound out of those humbuckers. very nice, clean cut sound.

Ease of Use:
it is incredibly easy to use, and the fretboard is nice and smooth.

Support:
i havent had any problems...

Overall:
i would not replace it, it has a lot of sentimental value to me.

Feature:
it came with a whammy bar, a few allen wrenches, and an extra spring for the tremolo bridge.

Quality:
This guitar is as sturdy as a solid piece of diamond.The finish is great, it doesnt take scratches on the finish like other guitars, and it doesnt leave smudges as easy, even on the black.

Value:
you know, i would have paid the original 250 bucks for this guitar, its great my best guitar ever, and i own quite a few.

Desirability:
sweet!!!!

Sound:
Great sound, the stock pickups are great but im still gonna upgrade to EMG's yeahhhhhh!!!! Overall the sound was great i got a lot of control from the tone knob.

Support:
never dealt wit um. oh well, yay for me.

Overall:
nice guitar, great for metal, great quality and sound, RAAAAAHHH!!!

Feature:
IT has a sound knob, a tone knob and a 3 way picup selector... The Tremolo is a bit too stiff, also the materials are not very good except for the arm and fingerboard,those are cool...

Quality:
It's cheap so it will never be very good, but for the price you pay, it's great, also it is very reliable and the guitar (except for the tremolo, which is configurable depending on who uses it) is very well fitted, there are no loose parts, and i never had problems with the knobs...

Value:
You could resell it with ease...

Sound:
It's cool for it's price, but if you want something better, just buy new pickups, and it'll sound good... But the pickups are not bad at all...

Ease of Use:
IT's very very easy to get sounds from it, it's very intuitive, and you'll simply adapt yourself to this guitar with ease... It's very cool indeed...

Overall:
Overall it is a great guitar for begginers and an ok guitar for a 2nd, but still, everyone should be satisfied with this, but if you have the money go for the ibanez RG they are better...

Feature:
Some of the best things that I notice about the ESP M-50 is the neck its easy to slide and the bridge and the pick-ups they may not be EMG but damn thier awsome

Quality:
The quality of the guitar is great and it looks like it is road worthy by some standars and yeah the parts seem easy to replace

Value:
Its a great value for a great guitar at a store its sells for 187 bucks buts great.

Desirability:
The sex appeal on this guitar is great it feels better some of the other guitars I tried. ESP did one hell of job on thier guitars

Sound:
Well I have two guitars and one sounds like a pieace of wood with strings on it and the other is ok. But this guitar dude I tried it out on a Line 6 spider III amp and man its totally awsome!

Ease of Use:
Well the ESP M-50 is pretty easy to get the sound and it will blow you away.

Support:
No, I haven't contacted ESP to tell them how great thier guitars are.

Overall:
Awsome!
