Quality:
Outrageously dependable. It'll be a long time before I consider playing another guitar, Im sure
Sound:
Sounds awesome! I use it for most of my set in my 80s and 90s cover band an it sounds great on every tune I play.
Reliability:
Still plays like it always has, I've had it intonated twice since i bought it, but that's pretty routine for me.
Overall:
As a longtime 'Jovi' fan, this guitar was a no-brainer purchase.
Playability and Feel:
It's not a hyperfast ripper with a super fast neck like on some other models like Ibanez(my other guitar is a prestige!)But it's certainly very playable especially for 'hair-style' leads and riffs
Tone:
Big and fat rhythms, smooth leads, the guitar does everything I need it to. It's gnarly!
Finish:
It looks great especially on stage. It gets alot of compliments from people who don't even know it's a Sambora signature
Action:
smooth, I didn't really have to adjust it at all.

Quality:
Again great, Every one has a opinion. Mine is are there things that could be better? Yup but for the price you will not be let down.
Sound:
Iv'e read a lot of reviews where people say they changed out the pick ups, Too me that's a matter of opinion. Well for me for the price range of this guitar you get some great pick ups. These sound better then my Ibanez RGT 42. Great all around sound.
Reliability:
So far so good. Great quality.
Overall:
I really like this guitar. It has a nice feel, Nice sound, Good tone.
Playability and Feel:
There is no other way to say it, Smooth and easy like butter. I don't like the feel of a Strat neck. I have small hands and this neck fits just right. The feel is close to a Wizard II but not as fast, Better all around neck.
Tone:
Not bad at all. As put buy the original tone chaser EVH it's in the guitar, the amp and most important the player.
Finish:
Nice to Great. A great design something different. Quality is right on.
Action:
Great action, Smooth and easy. Like butter.

Nice guitar for nice price
Quality:
Even though it's made in China, which I'm not crazy about, I've had no problems at all.
Sound:
With the stock ESP pickups it's pretty decent. I get a nice fat sound with the toggle in the neck position.
Reliability:
I've had this guitar for 6 months now and it's held up great. I play out almost every weekend and it is still a sharp guitar.
Overall:
I bought this guitar thinking it would be a nice back up to my Strat in case it goes down. It now is my favorite guitar. I love the extra thin neck. I have smaller hands and the extra thin neck is amazing. I can get around on this thing very easy. I like the tone I get out of the stock pickups. I run it through a Marshal amp and get a wide range of sounds. I usually play with the toggle in the neck pick up and it gives me a fat sound that I love. Overall I'm very pleased with this guitar.
Playability and Feel:
It plays great. It's a little heavier than my Strat but this guitar plays great. I am thinking of actually buying another ESP LTD.
Finish:
Beautiful guitar. I get compliments all the time on it.
Action:
AMS had this bad boy set up perfectly. The action is nice and low and I was impressed as soon as I took it out of the box.
