| Ive been jamming on it for a while , all good . Good solid electronics and switches . Good paint and finish . Quality knobs set-type knobs that stay tight and feel good . No Junk here . |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| If your looking for a lp style guitar and play different styles , look into the 401 with emgs and 24 frets . Nuff said . |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| I would say a Mid-chunky solid rocker that once you pick -up you cant put down its just so fun to crunch out your favorite riffs on this thing . its looks good and feels good hanging off my neck . It fits in so I can wail hard . |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| tight , dark , Punchy . You can get alot of tones out of the emg 80, 60 set . if you have a el34 amp and some emgs you can nail a 80's thrash sound . This guitar excels at that type of tone . |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Looks good , hope to get the white one one day . |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Pretty good for me , no big deal to me have to set-up a guitar . Its a normal thing . |

| Great mid level guitar with great sound and great playability |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Ive been playing LTDs since I started playing guitar, 15 years ago. I never had the money for a real ESP, but I never felt the need to spend over a grand on a guitar, either...Im not a professional musician, so mid-grade gear works for me. I wouldnt have any worries about the reliability of this guitar. I had an LTD that I played for 7 years, one that I owned for about 2 years but was about 8 years old when I bought it, my other one that I currently own, I bought new and have owned for 3 years and have gigged with it extensively. Ive owned a few other over the years...they make great quality guitars that I wouldnt worry about in a gigging situation. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Just got it, so I cant really say how its stood up...so far so good, and I dont expect to have any issues with it unless I drop it or something. |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| Its a great guitar, overall. Looks great, feels and plays great, sounds great. The EMGs are awesome, but my other guitar has EMGs, so I swapped these for some Dimarzios, just to have something different. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| Its a medium weight guitar. I sanded the neck to a flat finish because I prefer that over gloss. Plays great, feels great. Its not too heavy as to wear you out, and not too light so that it feels like a toy. Sits comfortable. The neck heel is a little bulky, but thats to be expected on this type of guitar. Controls are easy to hit...I like having the pickup selector switch at the top. I love LTD necks...they feel like home to me. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Its mahogany, so youll get a deeper tone than you would with something like alder or basswood...so within those parameters, yeah, it sounds great. Sounds like I would expect a mahogany guitar to sound. Very full and thick. Pickups make a HUGE difference. EMGs are tight and fast. The dimarzios are a little looser in feel and thicker in tone, which is what I was going for. |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| The finish looks great. I love figured maple tops, and I love the see through finish. |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Out of the box, the guitar wasnt really setup...but I was gonna set it up differently anyway. Got it setup with low action tuned to Eb standard with 9 gauge strings. You should always do your own setup when you get a new guitar anyway...every one likes them setup a little differently... |
