Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? great quality Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had it like a week. I baby my guitars but, it's made verry well. Made w quality materials n high end parts. General Your general opinion of this product. Deffinetly a rhythem guitar. Sounds great with distortion. Verry powerful pickups. Frets are a little high. Strings tend to buzz on the frets so, clean tone, not that clean but, I plan on adjusting the truss rod n hopefully that will solve that but, I don't play alot of clean so, I personally love this guitar. I got the snow white. It's a great lookin guitar. Headstock is vicious. Durrabillity......I'm not a pro n don't gig. I baby my guitars n I just got it so, I put a 4 on that part of my review. I'm verry happy w this guitar. At first w the strings it came w in standard tunning I was questioning this purhase but, now that I have heavier strings on it and it's tuned how I play. A little pricey for a LTD but, you are paying for the Hetfield name along w the high end quality parts and materials that make this guitar. Overall verry pleased w this purchase. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? verry comfortable sitting and standing. I personally like how a guitar sits on you better when the strap fastens on the side of the body and not on the back by the neck but still verry comfortable. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Heavy, great attack, powerful, low noise, high output. Just what I expected out of a set of EMG's Finish How did the stain or paint job look? flawless like ESP's always do
