This guitar is awesome. Fret dressing is immaculate. Painted neck is so smooth you'd swear it wasn't painted. And the finish is just a thing of beauty. Purple...blue...green..hints of red. The color is in the eye of the beholder..depending on the angle they are viewing from that is. If you like ESP/LTD you will love this guitar. EMG active pick-ups are packed full if metal but quite capable of tones to suit the most discerning music maker. I love it. No buyers remorse on this deal. I couldn't be more pleased. If you're on the fence just buy it...you won't regret it.

I love this guitar. I'm a metalhead, and this is the axe for me. It looks, sounds, and--most importantly--plays amazingly well. It's not as versatile as some guitars, but I love the simple configuration: two active EMGs, a toggle switch, a volume knob, and a Floyd. The simplicity is absolutely elegant. I compared This guitar at length with an Epiphone Prophecy V, and the thinner neck and awesome looks put this one over the top. And--something that all V guitars *should* have but generally don't--the LTD Arrow 1000 actually gives you *usable access* to all 24 frets! The only drawback is those sharp wings. I wish I could find something to cover them with so I don't accidentally break off the tip of one by bumping my amp, a chair, etc.
