Résumé On paper, this guitar has everything to sound perfect:
- The micro are simply excellent microphone. By themselves, they are worth about 150.
- The wood used for the body is identical to that found on the Gibson Les Paul.
- The handle al (like the Gibson LP) and bne (in any case, the cargo board).
- The look is simple, and for my part, I find it dirty and class time.

UTILIZATION

Grip super simple. The handle grip a little, but the line is perfect. Fast Fret a little and talk about it more. I am not at all furious solo guitarist playing John Petrucci's, but I think Access in acute is easy.
By buying it I was hesitant to be lost on the handle ... It's not the case at all! Brands are easily found on the handle, and it sounds.
In weight, I would say this guitar has the advantage of having a body that is not too thick but not too late ... This non-scratching is not a toy, and it is not an instrument to impersonate a large pre-filled osteoarthritis.
With a strap of shit, the handle is simply a tendency to slide horizontally ... but there is! For me it is not a problem ... the contrary.

A résumé using fairly simple and not at all pnalise by the lack of mark on the box the handle. The guitar is a little heavy, but it is all reasonable. It is still lighter than a Gibson LP studio.

SOUNDS

Feeling hot: Get Connected to the amp and test sounds clear and distortion ... APRS one hour, a feeling came over me ... dception I put the guitar and then I wait a bit. An hour later, I resume ... nothing, the strings are new, ca gche littralement sound!
Ultimately, the time the strings are worn ... and now it's up!

Directly connected to the amplifier means a dj's who of characters. In distortion or clean sound is just beautiful. I think a few do almost anything with this scratch: Metal, Blues, Rock, and many other things.

"I will try to make a more descriptive Retailer on that part later. >

In Manir gnrale résumé, the sound is standard. The guitar's own personality is super enjoyable to hear ... and play.

OVERALL OPINION

Be aware that for ESP LTD is like for Gibson Epiphone. LTD is manufactured in Kore, ESP in Japan. Needless to prciser the violin version of the Koren is of lesser quality but cheaper than the Japanese version. This may be a factor of choice, for my part, I play the card qualitprix report.

I think that, this guitar really quality assets. Micro, matrial, style and price! I have no regrets so far not my choice.

In the range of Les Paul in ESP (or LTD), the EC-1000 is a scam: it's just the EC-500 on which you pay the abalone possible hand. D'APRS me, the EC-500 is the best choice at QualitPrix. The EC-500S BKS, as it is a bit above the rest thanks its looks and its handle.

If you have any tunes, buy the ESP in ... at least the guitar will age better and probably will be of excellent quality. If you are a bit short financirement, fall back to using a LTD. You will not lose because in these prices I do not see the Les Paul that can compete with our little EC-500S BKS.

This scratching dfonce really!
