This guitar will remain a fixture in my arsenal for a long, long time. If stolen or lost, I'd replace it ASAP (once my insurance check comes).
Sound
I've compared this to a Fender Standard Telecaster and I prefer the neck on the ESP/LTD. This guitar has the "tele-bite" for half the cost of the Fender model. I've had the guitar for three days now putting it through its paces and like my other ESP/LTDs, this one is a superb sounding and playing guitar for a reasonable cost. To be honest, they're a steal in my opinion.
Features
The pickups could be upgraded if one chose to, but the stock pickups are more than adequate. The finish has a wonderful worn/relic look and the neck is fast. This is my fifth ESP/LTD and I'm still not disappointed.
Ease of Use
Plug it in, dial in nice clean tone, switch to bridge pickup and do your best Danny Gatton impersonation. Throw on some dirt and delay and I found myself playing with some wicked abandon with a biting tone only achievable on a tele-style configuration.
Quality
Like I said, this is my fifth ESP/LTD and this model is rock solid- just as my other ones. For the money, I'd be hard pressed to find a better overall value. Unless that is, you have an endorsement deal...
Value
Worth every penny if you're looking for a tele-style guitar.
Manufacturer Support
I've only had to contact ESP Customer Service once (needed to register) and they were top notch.
The Wow Factor
I love the look of a tele, but never liked the standard Fender neck. This solves that.

I have an America tele and Im learning how to do everything on my guitar myself (setup, pickups, wiring, etc) ... but I did not want to experiment on my american tele so I bought this one. I was very surprised with this guitar! It has a solid foundation of body and neck. The humbucker and bridge pickup are solid but depending on sound and how die hard tone you are might switch out but will keep you going till you do. Its all preference on pickups anyway. The neck is nice to play. Tuners are really good for overall price of guitar. I like their volume and tone knobs that do not feel loose but snug and solid. I'm usually a maple neck guy but i'm enjoying this rosewood one. I feel this guitar is outstanding to mod and upgrade which is what i am doing but I would most definitely buy this as a stand alone too.
I did have a fluke issue with the screw in the control cavity holding plate on but zzounds customer service was quick to make this right. I have bought many guitars from zzounds and they are absolutely AMAZING!!!! They always are my go to if they have the guitar i want in stock. I feel their is NO risk with them. Thanks ZZounds!!!!!!
