"BRILLIANT GUITAR FOR ITS MONEY."
I love the guitar, its a perfect metal guitar, and when people ask me how much it cost me, they shake their heads in disbelief!! If you like metal, and want to play metal, and you want a good starter electric guitar for metal, then look no further.
Sound
The distortion sounds great for a guitar this cheap...i have seen ibanez guitars which haven't matched up to this guitar, and those are almost double the price of this ESP guitar...the clean sound doesn't sound the best, which is why you might need to change your pickups if you are going to play a lot of music on the clean channel...
Features
The guitar features a 3-way pickup change, which is perfect for this guitar..one tone knob and one volume knob...my volume knob fell off and it is kind of hard to change the volume while playing because now I have to use my fingers to change the volume instead of my palm area...but I normally manage because I am usually playing throughout the song, but it may bother you if you want to create melodies using the volume knob..
Ease of Use
Its got XJ frets which in my opinion is the easiest to play..and otherwise its like any other good guitar...its a guitar man, how hard can it get????
Quality
I have the black colored one which looks HOT. Most people are in awe of the curves(including me) and if you buy it, you will be amazed by the looks of the guitar, and besides my… read more volume knob falling off, i have no trouble with quality, its ESP, and they are known for METAL guitars, and this is no exception..
Value
220$ is an AMAZING price for this guitar. THIS GUITAR IS WORTH THE MONEY. Period.
Manufacturer Support
I had to call them to actuall decide on which guitar, and they were very informative, which allowed me to make the right choice for sure..and i have not called them since, because i haven't had any trouble with the guitar...
The Wow Factor
This guitar is one of the hottest guitars around now...that's all i need to say, if you need more info...LOOK AT THE GUITAR!!!
