Plays just as good as the EC-1000‘s do! I ought to know as I have one of those too. The tuners are decent but aren’t quite as good as the higher end EC models. As far as the pickups go, they are great for blues/rock and I even get a nice metal tone out of it surprisingly! The gold hardware is gorgeous with the glossy black finish and the coil tap feature gives some interesting tones as well. Overall, this is an AWESOME GUITAR AT AN EXCELLENT PRICE!!

Sound

Sounds great! Has a warm tone great for rock and blues. Wish it had a bit more of a bite for metal but it is sufficient enough for the price.

Features

The one thing that I want to change on this guitar is the tuners. I wish ESP would upgrade the tuners as it would make this guitar IMPECCABLE! The lh-150 pickups are great for blues rock which works well but maybe offering a 256 model with EMG’s??

Ease of Use

Playability is just superb, enough said!

Quality

Quality is just as I would expect from ESP/LTD. Spot on!

Value

Best $399.99 guitar currently available on the market.

Manufacturer Support

Support and pay as you play is so helpful! Love zZounds!

The Wow Factor

I LOVE the glossy black finish and gold hardware! A perfect combination! Not only is it a great music making machine but it’s beautiful wall art as well! I think it’s even prettier than my EC-1000 in satin black!
