Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought this model two years ago (February 2020) from zZounds and had it shipped directly to my luthier for setup, while I was away for the winter. I later found the correct ESP LTD hard case elsewhere (do NOT buy any regular soft or hard case - this guitar is several inches *too long* overall to fit in any of them). This guitar is strikingly beautiful in person. The active electronics are very good. The sound is FULL (not boomy, just much louder than most humbucker electrics and very clean). The bridge is set far (4 inches) toward the neck from the usual location - this makes the whole neck much more accessible. Played through both tube electric and solid-state acoustic amps, this guitar is a standout instrument. NOTE: The fret markers and side markers are too small to see easily - so I had my luthier add large oval fret markers (so that I can play jazz chords up the neck in low light settings).
