Honestly, I almost never leave reviews. This guitar came within 2 days, and its my first Telecaster style guitar, and my first LTD guitar. Right out of the box after a tune up it played awesome. The pickups sound really warm and the coil split is interesting to work with. No damage to the instrument at all. The only negative thing I could say, if anything would be there is a little bit of intonation issues when you get to lower tunings, like standard C or something similar, but that's not such a big deal. Neck is straight as an arrow, the action is set perfectly, and the pictures on the website definitely do not do this thing justice. If I ever am in need of another 6 string guitar, ill definitely buy another one!

I bought this guitar by mistake, intended to send it back but cannot because it's better than both my fender and my schecter. Fit, finish, neck( roasted maple and PERFECT) , and the world class pickups, make this a no Brainerd. This isn't " great for the price, it's great PERIOD.

Well, this T style guitar from ESP/LTD surprised me! It is a great guitar not only for budget minded buyers, I think some Pro's would be smiling with it too. This is only the second ESP instrument I have owned in my entire life, my first being an Eclipse which I bought from a Recording Studio in London years ago. It was beautiful and a fantastic guitar all around. One of those I wish I had never sold.I have been mainly a Telecaster player for many years, have several, as well as some Strats, Les Pauls, and others. I bought this guitar not because it was very affordable, it intrigued me,It certainly is beautiful, but we all know that not everything that is eye catching in the guitar world sounds or plays great. This guitar does! I watched every YouTube video I could find about this before deciding to buy. Most were Heavy Metal players which I'm not but do like some chug once in a while. I play mostly Blues and Jazz, with some Southern Rock thrown in there too. This beautiful little guitar can do it all! The clean tones I was getting out of this in my Studio running it through my Eleven rack with just a little reverb and delay was amazing! This baby can get down and dirty when you let it, and it really surprised me!Most of the YouTube players were changing out the tuners and the pickups, which I do sometimes myself. For now I am going to leave it alone just like it came, tuners do their job just fine and the pickups are more than acceptable for what I will use them for. Thank you ESP/LTD for putting this little baby out, I think it's great! Thank you zZounds for always being there for me too, and always being great as well!Ryan J, Texas USA

The only thing I had to do was tighten one loose screw on the truss rod cover. Neck was perfect, intonation dead on. Tuned it up and played like a champ. Great guitar. The 14 inch fingerboard raduis will take a bit of getting used to but so far it seems to be very easy to play.

First things first, the blue burl is what brought me here, I absolutely LOVE the finish, if it was a satin instead of gloss itd be even better. The neck is an extremely comfortable width, HOWEVER the frets are pretty sharp towards the 12th fret, you can see some chips by the tang on them and there was a scratch on the body. Small lil things but overall I still love it, the imperfections give it character. Unfortunately the scratch is towards the black so it was very visible but very thin. Sounds and plays great, classy yet aggressive all at once.

Just got this one in and right out of the box I was impressed with the looks and feel.The roasted neck feels so good and smooth.The contour at the neck/body joint is a must have feature for reaching higher frets comfortably. I was surprised how well the pickups sound and love the push/pull split. This guitar has turned heads at church and people think I've paid a lot of money for how well it looks and sounds. Im a geek about it, so I immediately leveled and polished the frets, and replaced the strings before even hooking up it. Lowered the action and it plays and feels as nice as my ec-1000. For the money this guitar is near impossible to beat. Upgrading the nut would be my only improvement but it's only my preference.
