The sound is really incredible, handles great distortion, wonderful with clean, and overall perfect for agressive playing or metal. 10/10 baby! YEAH!

The features it had are stated in the product disctription. It's not a whole lot of bells and whistles, but what it DOES have will blow you out of the water with it's quality. Simply awesome.

This is an extremely easy to play guitar. The jumbo frets help a crapload, and the smooth neck is fast and sleek. Very easy to play.

There isn't a question about the quality of this guitar, it will last for years and years, easily. Very dependable.

INCREDIBLE value!! Really! It's AWESOME to own this thing, it felt great just taking out of the box, and it feels like something worth 2g's.

I've heard their good with support, but I'v never had to deal with them, and that shouldn't take away from the overall rating.

This guitar is SEXY. That's all that needs to be said about it. I love the black color, and it all blends together into one fantastic and shred worthy machine. Just seeing it is AWESOME! Really, I can say that this guitar is going to be my favorite for a looooong time, if not forever. It has all I want, and need.

Melodious metal, and speed shredding.

This guitar can handle the toughest distortion and it still sounds great. The clean sound sounds so incredible that it sends chills down your spine! This guitar can haldle anything you throw at it!

The EMG's sound great. The thin neck is easy to play on. It also has a set neck so it has great sustain. The only thing is that the black finish is hard to keep clean.

Awesome playability!! Easy to play and even comfortable to sit with.

This guitar is made to last. It is made out of outstanding parts.

I would gladly pay above the list price. This guitar rocks!

This guitar looks great. The finish is kinda hard to keep clean though, but a cloth and some polish will take care of that.

9 only because i dont believe in "perfect" but if there was such a thing, this guitar would be pretty damn close. The body was what attracted me first, everyone around me was getting V's or regular Strat body type guitars. Not only the body, but the way this fits in my hands feels like my own signature model. It sounds that way to. With the strings all heavy (I use DR tite-fits .009) and the bridge make this a heavy metal instrument.

Very easy guitar. Fast neck, although your hand might get stuck from all the sweat if you play to long. Getting down to the 20's is pretty easy too, but not for extensive use like on any guitar.

Very great quality. When I got it i thought it was the wrong kind. It came out the box literally looking like a million bucks!

Easily worth 500+ better than half the stuff out there.

I love the shape it stands out so much when im on stage, especially when the people around me have Randy Rhoads/Gibson V's, or extra "shiny" guitars. And im a rhythm player, so this gives me the recognition i need.

Great sound, I love this guitar!

Decent pickups, nice bridge, really good action out of this guitar.

I've been able to play clean tones, to the most overdriven sounds.

This guitar is really durable, it's black finish is awesome, the slight twist to the original explorer shape makes it look totally metal!

Yeah it's really finely crafted which totally gives it the value. They really did a nice job with this guitar.

Haven't had any problems with it, but I'm sure that they're nice people.

This is one of the sexiest guitars I've ever seen! Everyone tells me that I have a sexy guitar now!

the featurs on this guitar are amazing,iv played more expencive ones and some dont even compare to this.thekick ass explorer look is the best.i own other guitars like a half white half black shenker flying v,a warrlok,an a sqwire.and i think this is one of my favs.

this thing is great 4 lead,and its fretbord is so fast!depending on the stings...i use ernie ball regulure slinky strings on this thing and its got that 800 dallor guitar feel 2 it!

Rock

The sound is great but real EMG's would be better

The nob fell of but other than that its great.

The neck is a u shaped that is not to thin and not to thick which is perfect for me. The jumbo frets make it easy to play fast.

The nob fell of but other than that the guitar sounds as good as it looks

This is worth way more than what i payed

Haven't had to but i hear ESP has great support.

The guitar caught my eye as soon as i stepped in the store

heavy metal, neoclassical metal, and blues

When My eyes first saw it i knew i was in love!! i got it slightly used and the owner before me put emg81\85 setup on it. the guitar actually made me a better guitar player because it doesnt make my fingers tired THIS GUITAR IS IDEAL FOR METAL AND DEATH METAL and ect..

the tone knobs fall off but its an easy fixx i would like it if esp came out with a ex series with a floyd rose the paint is flawless but the tail chipps easy

it sounds like the guitars in my dreams

this product can handle anything i bet it sound even withstand a bomb

it choose an esp over anything

got it used

well its very sexy

Sound on this guitar is kick ass, i didnt like the clean tones though, I have a Strat Copy and that guitar gives me a really neat clean tone....This Guitar ROcks On Distortion, I can hear each notes clearly when playing with distortion....I wish i could change the pickups to EMG 81/85, However i think i cant, as those are active pups and the body of this guitar doesnt have the Slot to fit in the Battery for the Active pup's

I love the Shape of the Guitar, And the Action on it was set just right to play right out of the Box, I really love the Push/Pull Switch, That gives me a chance to experiment with the Tone. And the Finish on the Guitar is Excellent....Am i love with the Guitar for sure :)

Pretty Simple Controls, Action is Just Perfect, Good Intonation and the next is pretty fast......Its really a cool deal for the price

ESP is known for its amazing quality products......This Guitar Rocks In all sense

My Rating Says it all.......Its Super Cool deal for the $$$$$

This guitar has the nicest "clean" sound I've heard for quite a while. I was really impressed with the clean tone. Plug it into a DOD250 or boss DS-1 and you definitely get the Metallica sound.

I like the push-pull tone knob. It allows you to fine tune each pickup individually.

VERY easy to play. Nicely balanced.

The finish is flawless. A little hard to keep clean, but then again it is a black guitar. Stays in tune VERY well.

I already own it. I have two favorites, and this guitar is one of them. The other is my Dean CFH.

Rock-n-roll all the way!

ready for the metal scene

i love the tone tap its so much fun to play with the high and low picthes

just hook it up and play

other than the tail paint chipping its the best

well worth the price

they answered every question

the james hetfeild guitar

nedds more frets. like 24 frets insted of 22

great build

real easy to play

great quality

yes great price

none

love the pointy body

this thing cradles distortion really well & sounds like a punch in the face. the clean tones are really smoothe & crisp & the distortion is immaculate.

i love the way this thing is put together. the only real significant differance between this and a 400 is the pickups. this has esp-emgs while the 400 is stock with real emgs.

the neck is uber thin & fast like a warlock & everything is really easy to adjust

it looks and sounds great my only problem is it is very top heavy & falls wen u let go of the neck.

this things is well worth the price.

it is a sexy guitar. my friend even said "I'd tap that"

hobbyist

anything with guitar. besides country

Pickups sound great, and it sounds awesome right out of the box.

It would be nice with a Floyd Rose or a locking tremolo. Other than that the bridge and hardware is nice.

Very, very easy to use, and despite its shape it sits in my lap comfortable. It leans a little forward with a strap, but I use straplocks.

Great quality, very durable guitar.

Very good value for such a fine guitar.

I haven't had to contact them, so I'll say great.

Super sexy guitar, the all black paint, and chrome black hardware looks awesome. Also, the Gibson Explorer shaped body justy makes it that much more desirable.

The sound is an incredible, i have the same pickups in my Jackson and the HZ is perfect for any metal song.

needs to have the olmypic white for this guitar

This product was made more than well. You get alot more then what you pay for, this is great!

Again, you get more then what you pay for.

The body of the EX is one of the most metal looking bodies ive seen next to the Flying V and the Sharkfin. Its a Gibson Explorer with a slight twist, absolutly beautiful.
