zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The stock bridge was perfect for a hardtail, but i upgraded to an Original Floyd rose after a few months, it just fits style of music I play better.

Quality:
I've had it for about a yar now, and it's still petty mint, not a scratch on it.

Value:
Definitely worth it

Sound:
Right out of the box the guitar sounds great, needed no set up aside from tuning. The emgs are great for heavy riffs and solos, and it has great sustain.

Ease of Use:
extremely playable, and you'll get a great sound out of it.

Support:
Not needed

Overall:
It's just a great guitar, plain and simple. If you can afford it, and want a 7-string, get it

Feature:
For a mahagony body, this guitar is fairly light. It is very easy to play.

Quality:
I personally would have liked it to be a string-through body, but it does fine for the heavy playing that i like to do. If i was buying it for the first time, i would buy it for a main guitar, just be careful with it, the paint on the body easily comes off if rubbed up against a hard surface.

Value:
Great price for the guitar, i bought it from a dealer for $750.

Sound:
This guitar works better with heavy distortion, just playing off of the amp doesnt sound very well. I personally recommend a heavy metal distortion pedal. The guitar was mainly designed for lows and rythm playing techiques, if you are a lead guitarist, the lower strings will easily drown you out.

Support:
Havent had any problems.

Feature:
I owned this guitar, and it played and sounded great, but the damn thing wants to take a nose dive every time you play it standing up. I think ESP should have really studied the balance factor a lot more. But it's fine playing seated.

Overall:
The weight distribution on this guitar is absolutely horrid. Other than that, it sounds freakin' badass.
