I played this guitar on 2 amps, my tiny drive amp and a Krank amp(can't remember what model) at a music store. On the Krank it sounded fantastic although I didn't have much time to mess around with the settings. On my drive amp, it's not bad at all but not something you would wanna play live. Cleans are good and Distortion is great.

EMG 81 and 85 combo, EMG afterburner, Sperzel locking tuners, original Floyd Rose with locking nut, Mahogany Body and one insanely awesome paintjob. Yeah, this will have me set and happy for awhile.

It's pretty easy to use, pick up and play. The afterburner is something I'm not sure when I'll need or if I'll even use it but I'll figure it all out eventually.

The finish on the gutiar is beautiful. There are only 2 flaws in it. The bottom of the guitar has a little crack in the finish and the headstock has some rubbed off at the tip. However, these are both faults of the store's packaging so I'm still giving good quality rating.

I hate it when people say that there should be a cheaper version for "us poor people." For what this guitar is, it's worth more than it's price. I even got a slight discount because of the 2 flaws mentioned above.

I never dealt with ESP/LTD before but I'm sure that I won't need to with how well my other guitar(LTD F-100FM) is doing.

Just look at this guitar and tell me it's ugly and you wouldn't go near it. Impossible. It may appear "emo" to some people but that does not diminish it's beauty. Dan Jacobs had a great idea when he had this guitar design made.

I love the emg pickups!!!

this is an awsome fast guitar!! i love the metal sound it gives

This is a guitar I won't be trading in any time soon

I would have payed close to $2500 for this guitar. The guy who sold it to me had lost the tag but we found it so i only payed $1200. I was soooo happy

The EMG's give it a bone crushing METAL sound and the afterburner gives it the finishing touch.

Stock EMG's w/ afterburner, floyed rose origenal, locking tuners, custom paint and inlays. I would $3000 for this guitar with features like that. And the single volume control is how i like all my guitars.

Fits right in your hands.

Very well built. Made to take a beating on the road.

The best value out there, you can't beat it.

It is to sexy with the blood driping paint job.

This guitar sounded amazing when I tried it out. I used absoulutely no pedals, and a tiny Vox travel amp, and it saounded just like Dan Jacob's sound.

The EMG pickups are Amazing. Doesn't get any better than that.

This guitar is easy to play. The frets are all accessable, and the afterburn works great.

I could tell a lot of effort was put into making these guitars. They aren't some piece of crap made to look like Dan Jacob's guitar, it's built like it was made for him.

I am saving up to buy this guitar right now. I will buy it the second I get enough money.

Can't say I've dealt with this company before.

This guitar looks just great. On stage, it really contributes to stage prescence, all other guitarists are guaraunteed to bee envious!

I have played this guitar a few times and i just love the sound i am looking in to buying one when i say atreyu live and dan jacobs play with this guitar i wanted one

The AGM pick up is juet great it is one of the best features of this guitar

The frets on it are nice and big but to big so it helps alot to get a very nice sound

Best quality guitar out there it isent no knock off it is the real thing

You could pay $3000 for this guitar and it would stillbe a good deal for this guitar

I havent delt with this company before but this is where my friend got his atreyu guitar and said it was very good service fast to get to him and good prices

This is one sexy guitar when my friend plays a show with this guitar i will go up on stage and do a littel somthing and it gets the girls after you

in a band ( mistaken )

EMG's and an afterburner, equals AMAZING!!! You want a powerful Metal sound? NO DO YOU WANT "THEE" METAL SOUND????? This is it and thensome

The Tuners are awesome, the Floyd Rose is top notch, the push-pull tap for the afterburner is cool, the pickups and actual afterburner are HELLISH (in a good way), and the paintjob is Sick. Not much else you can ask for

Clearly with ESP playability you won't be dissapointed and this thing is awesome. But this isn't a learner guitar by any means and the EMG's may frustrate new or younger guitarists as every sound made is audible.

The input jack has obviously been placed to prevent problems and is very sturdy. The guitar is very high quality and the only thing which should be noted is that the EMG's need new (typical 9volt) batteries every so often

The Parts on this guitar basically cover the price, and considering the special paint job, and custom inlays, this thing is actually a really inexpensive guitar for what it is

I've seen people deal with ESP and nobody has ever said anything bad about the support so I hope you have to deal

The radical shape is very metal itself but the SICK paintjob and Bat inlays really sell the guitar as an awe-inspiring instrument for METAL MANIACS.

This is THE best guitar out on the market for thos who play fast and hard, or if you just want a perfect metal sound to the music you make. This is a must own for all those who want to achieve a certain image from their music and to give them an edge above the competition with this guitar and all of its features. Trust me, this guitar is meant for everyone!

Pickups are top notch, volume control is very easy to use quickly and its nice that there is only 1 nob for it too!

Very fast, smooth transitioning

The best on the market.

I would easily pay double for this guitar, and still have the same amount of satisfacion for it!

The paint job on this guitar and the over-all style of the body make this guitar a must own for anyone!

I love my guitar. I got it with a coffin case. It has a very fast neck. And EMG's........nuff said

Ever listen to Atreyu? Those solos and Riffs are brilliantly recreated by this axe so long as you have the skill to wield it

EMG Pickups and an afterburner, wow what more can you want? Oh right it's paint job is sweet

Easy to use so long as you keep in mind that the EMG's pick up EVERYTHING. It did however sound gret even when I was just warming up on it and felt like a guitar I was familiar with which is something I don't get from many guitars.

The way the input jack it placed you don't have to worry about it coming loose and it is very rigid, this is a big complaint I have with many guitars. The locking tuners seem sturdy. It seems to be made with a high standard of quality

EMG's and locking tuners are expensive that's about half the cost right there. The remaining cost could be covered by the custom inlays and afterburnerbut there is also the paintjob and the actual guitar

I don't foresee you needing support for it and if you did I have heard the ESP staff are accomodating

I'd perform mob hits or sell my body to own this guitar. It looks amazing the shape is cool it feels cool and it has the Atreyu feel to it.
