Product Description of:

ESP LTD EC401 Electric Guitar

The ESP LTD EC401 Electric Guitar features versatile, powerful tones, reliable hardware, and tidy, attractive looks.

Loaded with an EMG 81 pickup in the bridge position and an EMG 60 pickup for the neck; the ultimate active pickup combination for rock tones. The easy play, bound 3 piece mahogany set neck with rosewood fretboard on a bound mahogany body provides excellent resonance and sustain.

A 24.75 inch scale for note bending and cutaway design for easily reaching the upper frets increase playability. The fingerboard has eyecatching flag inlays plus Grover tuners.

ESP EC Style Case
To protect and transport your guitar, ESP recommends the optional EC Style Electric Guitar Case (#ESP ECFF).

Subject:

ESP LTD EC-401

Quality:

I would definitely say this guitar was put together VERY well.

Sound:

The tone is amazing on this guitar, my brother got a Gibson Les Paul Studio on the same order and when I played his and mine together they sounded nearly the same. His was obviously better.

Reliability:

I've only had it for a little over a month and so far it's been very reliable. It stays in tune and needed no setting up out of the box, at least until I tuned it down to Dropped B.

Overall:

Great guitar for a great price.

Playability and Feel:

I played and Eclipse II at my local XXXX and it was light as heck but this one surprised me because it was too heavy for my expectations. When I started playing it more and moving around with it, it felt MUCH better cause when I "get low" it kind of balances me out. The strings that came with them feel good. They felt amazing brand new and feel better and better with each time I clean them.

Tone:

The guitar sounds very thick and chunky but it has also has a nice mixture of highs/mids to it

Finish:

I had gotten the Olympic White finish and it was amazing. The picture above looks amazing but it's nothing compared to the real thing.

Action:

The action was amazing but I play in Dropped B so when I tuned it down I had to have it set up.

Skill Level:

Intermediate
