Published on 01/31/12 at 12:25ESP guitar manufacturing company has a sub product line that is called LTD. Many of the LTD guitars feature a little less build quality standards within the predecessor ESP. But basically all of their instruments sound just as good and feel almost as good as any other ESP instrument. These guitars have a great sound if you're going for that Gibson Les Paul tone. One thing I really like about these guitars is the beautiful inlay within the frets that really has a mystic quality to them. Flamed maple top is another great addition to this instrument. It almost looks too beautiful to play but it is certainly a rockers guitar.

SOUNDS
If you've ever played any type of Gibson Les Paul guitar do you know exactly what type of tone you're going to get out of this instrument. They are quite exquisitely beautiful to look at this is a rockers guitar. So if you play with a good high gain amplifier such as a Marshall or a mesa boogie than your going to get a great sounding tone. Even if you play this guitar in a clean setting your going to get a very usable and manageable tone that will sound fantastic. Certainly this guitar won't sound as good as a single coil guitar but it will have a nice voicings for pretty much any style of music.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars you can find for right around $700 or so. That's a pretty good price for help beautiful this guitar is and how well it built. I would recommend guitar to anyone is looking for a good alternative to Gibson Les Paul instrument. This guitar sounds great in a recording session as well but I'm even more tempted to just hang it on the wall and look at it because of how beautiful the build and quality of this guitar is to look at.
