Overall Your general opinion of this product. i am a guy who like this set up . a single coil at neck and a humbucker at the bridge . i tend to never use a middle pick up and i dont like a humbucker in the neck. the body is a comfy shape no hard lines that will cause irratation. . Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? you can beat the heck out of it and it will still play . Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? average wieght not a heavy les paul or anything.it is still very solid though. it wasnt the worst neck i ever played on. it is a little lacking though and it would be a monster with a couple small improvements like the frets ends not so rough . Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? thin, mellow Action How was the action out of the box? okay just put better strings on and was fine Finish How did the stain or paint job look? normal Reliability How has it stood up over time? i have had this for a couple years . do minor maintanance to it and it is fine
ESP F-10 is worth trying, before dishing out big bucks for something else.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Extremely well made. I set it side by side with my first electric (a Fender Squier Strat)...the contours are amazingly elegant, and the finish is superb. I've seen negative reviews for this guitar in the past, so I was a bit trepidatious. This guitar is perfect for drop tuning, for beginners and for pros. Reliability How has it stood up over time? We'll see, I just bought it a few days ago, but I'm no nubie, and I can see from it's design, and materials, it will last just fine. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I'm impressed. We play in Drob B, and I bought this guitar in the hopes it would take well to the intonation drop...I didn't even have to adjust a thing....love it. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Good clean tones, especially from those rails. I play with high gain distortion, mild distortion, and clean, so I can honestly say I've already run it through the range. It's action is amazing...touch and hear Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Pickups are perfect, and sustain is smooth and long. One of my other guitars is a Fernandes with a Sustainer pickup, and I thought I'd want a sustaining pickup in this one, but I don't think it'll be necessary....just add some compression. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Paint job is fantastic, not a single blemish or rough edge. Shiny... Action How was the action out of the box? Action was great, it came strung, which was a pleasant surprise. All I had to do was tune it up and play.
Needs some work in order to be truly playable!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It seemed that the people in China just put this together and just shoved it into the box. Mine had fret edges sticking out and it was obvious that no setup was done, what so ever. It took me over 2 hours to fix everything in order to get this to be a playable instrument. Once I did though, it felt like I had a totally new guitar than the one I had ordered. It was like it did a 100% complete turnaround. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I bought this a couple of weeks ago and have used it at a couple of gigs already. It seems to hold it's own as far as I can tell, but only time will tell. I do suggest that if you do buy one of these, that you have a setup done. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I got mine from a un named competitor and for the price, it's okay but I wished I was able to pick it out in person instead of having to go through mail order. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Once I got the fret edges sanded down, I was very impressed with how fast the neck is on this guitar. Also, the stock tuners maintain tuning stability quite well and the volume and tone controls along with the 3 way pup switch, seem to work very well with no scratchiness at all. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The pickups on this guitar, if not adjusted properly can be very muddy, especially if you're using distortion. I reccomend that you lower them according to your own personal specs and use either a noise gate or a effects processor because, they do tend to produce a lot of hum. The 3 way switch however,gives you a very thin almost Fender like sound when used in the 3rd position, while in the 2nd you get a deep tone, and in the 3rd you get something that is akin to a cross between Blues and Classic Rock. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The Blue paint job looks really cool. Action How was the action out of the box? The action was a bit high and there were fret edges sticking out along the sides of the neck. I ended up having to sand them down. Also, the high E string slot on the nut, was not properly filed, so I had to fix that as well.
