| Subject: | Great action unplayable at bridge |
| Quality:
| It's made very well. The knobs, although placed in the wrong position, turn as smooth as silk and are very responsive. |
| Sound:
| Great tone |
| Reliability:
| I've had it for 2 months and perfect so far - made really well. |
| Overall:
| This would be a five star guitar IF some genius at ESP hadn't have placed the volume knob right below the E string which interferes with one's playing. In the pic it looks about 2 inches away, but it's really about an inch - and i have a typical medium sized hand and it still interferes. If you get this guitar the volume knob WILL get in your way unless you're one who plays with your bottom three fingers extended outward which would then go over the knob. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Plays smooth (due to the factory polished frets). The weight is just right. Everything is pretty much perfect for it's price point. The reason i gave it three stars is because the guitar, as great as it is, is literally unplayable near the B and high E strings due to the genius who decided to place the volume knob right below them. This interferes with one's playing, if they pick with their bottom three fingers curled inward as i and most everyone else does (especially jazz and metal players). |
| Tone:
| I'ld say it's in between the mid and high end freq. It has a well balanced sound. |
| Finish:
| Gorgeous |
| Action:
| Awesome. It came with a low action for easy playing. |

| Subject: | My Second |
| Quality:
| It was made well, but it was obviously pushed through inspection. When I got it, the springs on the inside were loose. |
| Sound:
| You can change the strings and swap out the pickups and it will sound amazing. |
| Reliability:
| Stays in tone pretty well but it gets damaged easily. |
| Overall:
| Good guitar for the price. My second guitar and I made a good choise. |
| Playability and Feel:
| It is good for pretty heavy riffs. It is not the best for playing super fast solos, though. |
| Tone:
| It is very bright when you throw new strings on it and switch to the bridge pickup but it can kind of get a fat metal sound when switching to the neck pickup. |
| Finish:
| The finish was amazing. It is a very good feature. |
| Action:
| Not very good. I spent a while fixing it to make it work how I wanted it to. |
| Skill Level:
| Semi-Pro |

| Subject: | i got took |
| Quality:
| i cnt believe this is a esp this was more like a cheap cresent guitar i had to order a new neck and it still doesnt have a clean sound ive bought quite a few items from ams but this guitartakes the cake |
| Reliability:
| none i played one gig with it and on the first set was already out of tune thank god for mark at randys music mart in amarillo tx or it would have been a disaster |
| Overall:
| if your a beginner its alright but for a pro na its worthless |
| Playability and Feel:
| the best part is the flyod rose and after mark reset the new neck and strobed it set the intec it got a fair feel but not like a esp in perfect shape. |
| Tone:
| the pickups are super distorted keeps good substain but over corrects the mid tones great for thrash metal but not classic rock. |
| Finish:
| this should have been a scratch and dent item right out of the box small scratchs from box rubbing not really that noticable unless you look for them probly ups shipping, box was torn! |
| Action:
| none neck was warped |
