Best value: Correct
First the price is not 935 euros as of 2000 euros but is not a signature ESP LTD.
Made in Japan, 24 frets extraJumbo, keys in ebony, maple neck through 3rooms, alder body, 2 pickups and a micro ESP Seymour Duncan SH-4 in the bridge position, strings and bridge traversing TonePro.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a marvel. Flawless finish, perfect balance, access to acute excellent. The neck and body being one is the same varnish that covers the entire guitar. The handle is very nice and very fast. As this is a neck-through sustain you get a very important. The game is very simple and it sounds right away to hell.

SOUNDS

HUGE! the sound is HUGE!
ESP really puts the packet. It sure is not to make bagpipes.
I play mainly metal and the sound is perfect: both very sharp and precise and at the same time very lourd.Je em played on a Peavey Triple XXX and it's a killing every time. I plan to spend on Mesa / Boogie Rectifier, and then I think the studio will tremble.
This guitar is still quite versatile. You can get sounds crystal clear in its sound as well as warm. But let's be clear it will not be the lens of a Fender or a Gibson heat because it's an ESP, and these animals are cut for the big sound. Important point: if you detune the scratches you can go up to 2 tones and sound better than some 7-string whose price is not far. The sound deserves a clear 8 / 10 but the sound is saturated in at least 12/10.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months now and it's always a pleasure every time opens the ESP fly. This is my seventh or eighth guitar and so far the best. I already have a custom ESP Horizon which is fantastic but the "Carpenter" has something more.
I had tried three years ago and since that day I knew I had the.
For about 2500 euros this new skyscraper is quite the price even if it is still a large sum.
If I could go back I would do this choice without asking questions.
My only regret is that they are so rare and so hard to find so if I think I would have more certainenemt.
