ESP he is one of those companies that build great sounding instruments that is built for the hard rock and metal type players. Many of their guitars nowadays featuring signature version of the interest. They have a branch company called LTD that as a standard that doesn't have a professional guitarists or artists name attached to it. This is one of those guitars that still carried the ESP name without any signature a part of the guitar. This is a very beautiful guitar if you like the custom shop Gibson Les Paul guitars. You basically have all the same features as you would any other Gibson Les Paul guitar but you have a new way of doing it with the black quilted top with EMG pickups installed.

SOUNDS

I really like the look of the see through black quilted maple top guitar because it almost looks like you have a reflection of water drinking. It's very beautiful top and the tone of the guitar is very beefy in saturated as well primarily due to the mahogany wood in the body and the neck and the EMG pickups installed in both the bridge and neck position. You can get this guitar to clean up a little better with the pickups installed and you Will it a Gibson Les Paul guitar figure out a beefier sticker town with the EMG pickups as well. Overall its integrated and has a lot of versatility for pretty much any style of music.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for good alternative to a Les Paul guitar and you want something that has a nice brilliant quilted maple top and this is a good instrument to go to. It's very beautiful and exotic looking guitar so if you want something that can be abused and used on stage and not worry about it getting damaged this might not be going to auction for you.
