Overall:	QUALITY: its made reallly well. i just want to say, this is the kind of guitar that if you bashed it into a wall really hard it wouldnt even do anything FEATURES: the emgs are thee best the neck pickup sounds so good for leads and the bridge emg is the SH IT . when you grab the neck it's just, i cant quite describe it. its "ideal" EASE OF USE: really fast to play and easy to sweep and all that . its a 10 in my book VALUE: this guitar is worth more than what i paid. I have played the EC 1000 guitars which are about $200 more expensive than this guitar and the only difference is the locking tuners. and locking bridge which hardly serves a purpose it seems. They both sound the same and play great. if you get the ec 1000 all you are paying for is the abalone binding , in my opinion. SOUND: the sound is the perfect sound for me. METAL ! you can really get alot of good tones from it but i use it mainly fo

Subject:	Nothing Can Beat ESP Quality!
Overall:	QUALITY: Quality is just about perfect. It's got a pure mahogany body/neck, not some cheap mystery wood. Rosewood fretboard is very smooth and warm sounding. The only minor flaw is that the hardware tarnishes quickly which is why I gave it a 4 on quality. Keep in mind, that can be easily replaced if it bothers you. Everything else is perfect. FEATURES: The grover tuners hold tune perfectly. The EMG pickups combined with the all mahogany body is the way to go for crushing rhythms and soaring leads! The set-neck allows for tons of sustain. Access to the upper frets is not as good as a neck-through. You can still definately reach the 24th fret, just not as easily as you would be able to on a neck-through. If you're looking at a LP-style guitar that probably isn't your main concern anyway because there is no such thing as a neck-through LP. EASE OF USE: This guitar is simple to set-up. The neck is extremely comfortable. It is not as flat

Subject:	Most bang for the buck!
Quality:	This guitar has a great set of pickups for any type of rock on the heavier side of spectrum. The are very quiet and have great sustain. It is a very evenly balanced guitar, not too heavy either. It rests very well over the the shoulders.
Reliability:	I have only had the guitar a short while, but it has a great feel to it and is very solid.
Overall:	This is by far the best guitar in it's price range. Any other guitar with this set of pickups stock or of equal quality is $1000+.
Playability and Feel:	Guitar is just the right weight and distribution, not neck-heavy like an SG or body-heavy like an Ibanez. It rests pretty evenly. The guitar also rests well sitting down too. The neck is rounded but not too wide like a Gibson. The pickup selector switch gets in the way sometimes since it is above the pickups and neck. The volume and tone knobs are chrome and very easy to adjust and adjust smoothly.
Tone:	These pickups can provide all the output you need with the proper rig. The clean tone has massive output and the distortion can put out as much gain as you want. It improves the tone using just the amp or with effects pedals simply because of the quality of these pickups.
Finish:	I have the glossy black finish, it looks very nice with the chrome hardware and tough as nails.
Action:	String action was just how I would have liked it as soon as I played it. It was on the lower side which is fine for me.
Skill Level:	Intermediate

Overall:	QUALITY: Paint is flawless and beautiful. The binding is amazing. the fretwork is amazing, FEATURES: The Stock active pickups, the set neck, the grover tuners, the finish , the creme binding, nickel hardware. Earvana Nut EASE OF USE: The action was just about perfect for me, low and fast. Ive played many guitars, including jacksons, and other fast neck guitars. And this is probably the fastest most comfortable neck Ive ever played, not better than, just different, and i personally just prefer it. VALUE: this guitar is worth at least a grand, but if it was i prb couldnt afford it. the best thing about ltd is that they dont down grade far from there brother esp. I personally can tell a huge difference between squire and fender, and epiphone and gibson, but if you compare the esp and ltd models next to each other there isnt a huge difference except for the price. Props to esp for giving ltd the sam

Overall:	QUALITY: Well made very dependable guitar. In my opinion, for this price range the most guitar for your money. Very,very,very slight finish issues around a spot or two on the binding. Thats why I gave it a 4. Other than that I love this guitar. Been playing for about 16yrs. Expensive isn't always better. I'v played some of the most expensive guitars there are and own a custom shop GMW guitars RR V I would hope by now I know what quality is. This is a great guitar with a slim and pretty fast neck. Love the guitar!
