Sound

I bought this guitar with pretty low expectations. I thought I would definitely have to change the pickups the first day. I can't believe how amazing this thing plays and sounds. It is on par sound wise with the Fender road worn stuff but it plays WAY better. The pickups are very hot and somewhat unforgiving to a sloppy player.

Features

Great worn finish. Real alder and maple. Not crappy basswood. ESP knows how to make a great guitar on a budget.

Ease of Use

Plays like butter.

Quality

I will end up spending a ton of money upgrading all of the hardware on this guitar. Not because I think it needs it, but because I think it deserves it. It really is a beautiful guitar.

Value

Plays and sounds better than other guitars that cost 5 times as much.
