I’ve been wanting a T-Style LTD for quite some time now and I finally pull the trigger, and ohhhhh man, I really wish that I wouldn’t have taken so to get this bad boy!! I’ve played and owned pretty much every brand of guitar you can get, and for the price/quality combo of this guitar, it’s hands down one of the best. I love the shape, the feel and the playability of my TE-401!Satin finish is classy, EMGs are perfect for my style of play (Hardcore/Metal) plus they’re EMGs THEY SOUND AMAZING clean or filthy, the 25.5” scale gives it that little extra length in your neck for holding downtuned strings in tune without floppin on ya (I tune to drop A#) and it looks as good as it sounds; GORGEOUS. I feel like the only thing I would change to this guitar would be the rosewood fingerboard, I’d prefer it to be ebony but it’s purely an aesthetic thing for me. I have several other more expensive, high-end guitars in my repertoire but ever since I got this one, I haven’t even looked at any of my other guitars. Lol Seriously. If you’re debating whether to get this guitar or not, STOP THE DEBATE. Get this guitar. You will be happy you did. PLUS you’ll make your friends jealous! Mine are. Haha
