I purchased this ESP/LTD with skepticism not knowing anything about the Evertune system and was somewhat disappointed in the functionality of it, that was until I watched a few youtube videos on the set up and adjustments and after understanding the different zones, felt it was fairly easy to get used to it and with caution was careful not to force the adjustments or else the system could easily strip and become damaged, but after a few tune ups, I am able to get the guitar tuned to e flat and back it down to allow the bends to be like those on a conventional bridge or floyd. Very pleased with the guitar staying in tune.

Great Mid-Level guitar, but certainly not for a seasoned musician.
Sound
It sounds great for metal. You can't go wrong with EMG's as long as you have a reputable amp and/or effects processor as part of your overall sound.
Features
The obvious best feature is the Ever Tune system. I was highly impressed at how in-tune and intonated this guitar was out of the box. The string action was a little high though.
Ease of Use
The Ever Tune system is not the easiest to grasp. It was rather frustrating. It shipped perfectly in tune and intonated like I stated above. However, I wanted the string action lowered just a little bit. Once you lower the string action, you have to go through all the steps from the beginning to get it in tune and intonated. I mean, once it's in...it doesn't come back out. But, there are a lot of steps getting to that point. Once you do, one more step is thrown into the mix, which is adjusting the degree of your string bend. Not fun at all. Because once you got it to where it sounds good, the intonation is out of whack again. So, this system will take a while to master.
Quality
The build and finish of this guitar seems pretty good. High quality tuners and electronics. There was minor fret buzz but I adjusted the string height to make it go away. But, i didn't like the how high I had to keep it in order for there to be no buzz. For $1049, I feel it should play much better than it does. I have a Jackson Soloist around the same price that blows this out of the water as far as playability. And is equal to the ESP's sound/tone.
Value
I feel this is a $600 guitar with an overpriced and complex tuning system attached to it. And come on....an expensive guitar like this doesn't come with a case?

The Wow Factor
I wasn't really wowed as I have been in the past when first receiving and playing brand new gear. Obviously, seeing this for the first time was impressive, all shiny and new. I just didn't feel like I was playing a $1000+ professional guitar.
