LTD M-307

The ESP LTD M-307 is built for those who are just getting into the 7 string market and don't want to shell out a ton of cash. Before we get any further, I'll just go ahead and suggest looking into another guitar because this didn't impress me at all. The guitar has a mahogany body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard, 24 extra jumbo frets, some arrow inlays with the name at the 12th fret, a licensed floyd rose bridge, two humbuckers, one volume knob, one tone knob and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar has an issue with its fretwork more than anything. The neck joint wasn't too bad, but the frets were awful. The edges were sharp, and they kept slicing my hands. The frets were also uneven. I couldn't lower the action where I wanted it, and it would have issues making notes on certain frets. The inlay work wasn't too bad, so that's hard to fault, but the finish itself seemed to be kinda sketchy for whatever reason. It's like they didn't spend enough time on it or something. The 25.5'' scale isn't an issue, and the string spacing wasn't too bad. The neck has a fairly thin U shape going on, and it was comfortable, but the back of the neck felt like the finish was slopped on or something.

SOUNDS

The guitar sounded pretty awful for a 7 string. I normally really like these tone woods, but the thing sounded extremely dull. I think the guitar was a dud due to how bad it sounded. The pickups are meant to be like EMG pickups, but they're super sterile sounding. I wouldn't even waste my time replacing the pickups because of how dull the guitar sounded.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're in the market for a budget 7 string, take a look at the RG7620 or similar models. I find they play a lot better, and they generally sound more resonant than these guitars. On top of that, the fretwork is leaps and bounds beyond what the LTD facility can offer. There will always be an argument between basswood vs mahogany, but I find both woods work out very nicely depending on what you're going for.

7-string guitar, made in Korea, mahogany, neck-through.
It has 24 frets, 2 EMG HZ Micro 707.
Floyd Rose bridge.
Volume 1, 1 Ring, 1 Switch

UTILIZATION

In stringed guitar is very good quality, the handle is perfect, access to acute handle is easy thanks to the driver against it by hand is hurt because of the large 7-string neck.
It is light enough (mahogany), through the handle provides good sustain, the bridge is of good quality

SOUNDS

This is a guitar type metal, micro above are bad enough, I have a ride EMG 707 (active).
With the original microphone are is flat, no bass no treble, not much power, for cons with micro active, this guitar reveals its power. This guitar does not sound very well are clear, but it turns disto usable tt same style of punk.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2 years,
I compare it to ibanez and esp I chose for its style and price.
I buy 720, and I think for that price there is not really equivalent to seven strings!

This is an ESP / LTD 7 string, 24 frets, Floyd Rose type bridge and EMG-HZ microphone.

The guitar and violin is exemplary level hardware and vibrato very effective as the 6 string version.

She has a nice finish like all ESP / LTD who respect!

For me it estaccorde like this:, E, A, D, G, if, mi.

A superb guitar in short, any time .... Branch because it has really caused the couple EMG-HZ, which enlve all the charm of our beautiful 7-string ...

A guitar of this size to the allure is all metal and drive of this music!

Any time the EMG-HZ make a guitar bland and without personality.

on the other hand I put a microphone dernirment EMG 81-7AU bridge and the guitar is the miracle revle !!!!!!!!!!

It deserves its good note especially since fameuxEMG 81-7, which gives him all the glory and power expected by this type of guitar!

In summary it is a good guitar any time she will give you enjoyment with this investment as micro EMG EMG 81-7 or 707 (see the notices on the microphones).

Too bad ESP / LTD HZ us sticking to such good guitars!
