All user reviews for the LTD F-50

I do not know anything about its characteristics ... Long I forgot! 2 mic humbucker, a handle with 3 position switch frets fragile knob one volume and one knob ...

UTILIZATION

The access to acute (24) frets rather easy weight is well balanced, but the ergo shape farts ... But hurts the thigh if you have too big hams!
Easily obtained a good sound.

SOUNDS

it suited my style of music ... Adolescence! : P

Now I'm more blues / rock. It is still nice in this style when I play songs very powerful and not too plump.

J ela plays a 30Xcube or direct plugged into my guitar rig with quadcapture. No problem, sounds pretty neat!
I hate her too fat ... I like the acute mounted in this scratch!

OVERALL OPINION

for a start, it's really a good drip pan, I had the time to deal with and move on! But now ...

Powa blues with an old aai 80s mic ibanez humbucker and G69 types
The value for money was not disappointed.

I would do this choice not because of my style of music has changed. But otherwise, it's good stuff for good metalheads!

Got it from www.musicstore.com and I paid 245€ for it.

I like both sound and looks. Also, it's easy to setup, something i definitely wanted since my previous axe had a floyd rose, which was great but I didn't like the fact i had to set it up each time i changed gauge/tuning.

The stock pickups are ok, no complaints, but there are definitely people who'll want to put in some dimarzio or emg or something else. But that's all matter of preference of course. Only thing that's a bit of a pain is the fact that the volume control doesn't give you as much control as you'll want. I'm the kind of person that likes to use the controls on my guitar instead of a lot of other stuff, so that was a bit of a pity. The volume control does work, but you really have to give it a serious turn if you want it to get real quiet. That's about it.

I only just got it last month, but up till now i'm pleased a lot. It's good quality, no flaws and good setup. It's like i could throw it around and it'll still work. No loose controls or input or tuning pegs or anything like that. For the low end model from the f-serie, it's built like a rock and you wouldn't even notice if you didn't know it was the f-50.

Been playing for two years. This is my second guitar, I sold my other one which was a charvelle. I liked the floyd rose, but i never ever used the trem, so i just reckoned i should go for a easy-to-setup bridge with the same security of not losing my tuning every five seconds. So I'm glad I chose for this one with the tune-o-matic.
I was a bit afraid concerning the stock pickups, but I really like them, and they'll probably last quite a while before I want to replace them. If it was lost or something like that, I'd definitely buy it again. I love the looks, the sound you can get from it, it's also very easy to play, easy to setup, everything I need. I compared it too other guitars, like Ibanez and Jackson. I really feel as if I made the right choice. I think this is one of the better guitars in it's price range.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Being into a variety of music styles from Jazz to Hard Rock I wanted an amplifier that is versatile. I have always relied upon digital processors, until my ears began hearing the huge difference between emulation and the real deal.

Despite being a fan of the Mesa Boogie sound I remained open-minded. After all Boogies are expensive, so if I could purchase something a little cheaper I could get more gear - right! So I travelled around a number of music shops, trying out the Marshalls, Fenders, Mesas etc.

With budget, tone and versatility as my driving factors. I purchased the F-50, because to my ears it had everything I was looking for in an amp.

I am one of these annoying shoppers that will make a nuisance of himself in all the guitar shops in order to get the right information. Then go somewhere else in order to get the best deal e.g. the internet.

This amp was purchased in Peter Cooks Guitar World, Hanwell London. Simply because they offered the best deal - by far! The cost was £1050 (UK pounds). No one else who claimed price matching ability would even go near this price. They offered some poor excuse about not being allowed to work outside a fixed price bracket.

Two words - versatility and tone.

I believe this amp sounds fantastic. When I first opened up the box, I was amazed at the attention to detail. Looking behind the amp, all the cables are neatly tied and contained in a soft pouch. Its as solid as a rock and weighs a ton. The documentation is well written and informative, neatly contained in a plastic wallet. A slip cover is provided, which may be handy for transporting the amp or keeping the dust away when you're not playing.

Features: Rhythm Channel (Clean), Lead Channel (Drive), Lead w/Contour & Reverb. All fairly basic. Oh, and not to forget the hard bias.

Clean Channel:
Wow! Comparible to the Fender amps. Has the sweetest break-up as you crank the drive up. This is a great channel for jazz & mellow stuff. Works well with my piezo pick-ups and sounds great with my out-of-phase in-between two humbuckers guitar setting. You have to hear it to believe it. No other amp I tried even came close when comparing the available clean sounds. Shimmering and punchy might be two descriptive words, but seriously you have to try it out for yourself.

Drive Channel:
Ok this comes in two flavours - classic and contour, which is a modern sound.

The classic without contour mode is typical of a Santana sound. Sounds great playing the blues and has been compared to the Mark I on steroids. Great sound / tone - just bend one of the higher strings, add a little vibrato and you'll see what I mean.

Contour mode approaches the rectifier sound. There is more drive then you're likely to need. Once again, you get great tone that doesnt take over the sound of your guitar but really compliments it well. I personally enjoy playing the heavy palm muted riffs on this channel ala. Metallica.

On both channels the drive sounds natural. Not over-compressed or wish-washy like a number of other amps on the market. Please note, as this is a tube amp the best sounds come when the volume is turned up. Believe me this thing is loud though. It does sound pretty good at low volumes, unlike many other amps but it does get smoother as the volume increases.

Reverb:
Sounds fine to my ears. In all honesty though, I am more likely to use the reverb as part of an effects chain.

Summary:
I am pleasantly suprised in that the longer I have this amp and more I get used to it, the better it sounds.

It's difficult trying to think about what I don't like simply because this amp is marketed as a basic amp with no bells and whistles, but just tone. It doesnt pretend to be anything it isnt.

Regardless of what it's marketed as if I were to compare it to other amps including Mesa Boogies, my criticisms/feature wish list would be as follows:

1) A solo button for pre-defined volume boosts.
2) Clearer foot controls. The layout is fine, but when I am on the clean channel no status LEDs display to tell me what drive setting I'll be on when I change the channel.
3) Options to use either EL34 or 6L6 valves.
4) Better stock valves.

Points 1 and 3 are mute points really as these features are found in the Nomad range at a slightly higher cost. Anyway, for a volume boost I just need to get a booster pedal and problem solved. Point 2 is what I feel most strongly about.

Apart from these points it is a real struggle to come up with criticisms on such a great amp.

As mentioned earlier, it's built like a rock and weighs like one to.

Mesa is well renound for it's top quality construction and attention to detail. Every detail has been taken care of even down to keeping the cables tidy.

Before I even switched the amp on after first unpacking it, I couldnt help but notice the care that has gone into this product. This is my first Mesa Boogie product and I can honstly say that I am sold for life. I have read reviews from people trusting Boogie products to the extent where they dont have to hear/test them before they make a purchase. I am not quite up there and will always try before I buy, probably more as a matter of course - the products aren't cheap after all. But from my experience I can understand where this confidence comes from.

Clearly the Mesa Boogie sound isn't for everyone. Our ears and tastes are different and we have to go along with what sounds good to us.

If you appreciate the Boogie sound or are at least curious. Check out some artists e.g. Santana, Dream Theater etc. that use Boogies and see what you think. Give them a demo at a local music shop. Compare them to other amps and see what delivers the sound you are looking for. If possible, turn the amp up loud to get an idea of its potential (not just for the volume but tone).

From my experience, Mesa Boogie deliver top quality products that far surpass other manufacturers in tone, quality and detail.

If my amp was lost or stolen. I would definitely stay with Mesa Boogie.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

characteristics are to be seen on the manufacturer's website.

It starts to be after 3 years. I already change the strings several times and finally opted for the metal: the 52mm!

I just say, the 24 frets are very accessible to a bill not very good! a summer day rather wet, the rope is embedded in the second fret (playing the kyo, so softly!)

UTILIZATION

The neck, very well finished, slip perfectly over for small solo!

Access to the last freight as mentioned above is simple.

Weight, well balanced for a set up. Sitting, this is not the top but it holds the handle when we play!

I do not speak of his ... I do not have an opinion on areas that are not well known to me!
Good to go so ....
A pure happy for all sounds very heavy! Having tested a split TV and a ibanez (replica of the Gibson SG 69), I can tell you ... Nothing to do, it's metal! I have nothing to compare it.

Otherwise, the sound it makes very heavy thanks to two humbucking pickup can be useful on an ACDC or even sweeter ... Aerosmith!

If you want a good rock n 'roll, it's not a good choice. Then you turn it with a small jewelry killswitch engages, Trivium and other new myths!

SOUNDS

I said everything above, I play all the sounds with all my effects pedal boss ME-20 on the amp roland 30Xcube

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 3/4 years I have tried several model in a music store before making the purchase.

What I like is its looks, good metal, and its expression!

This is a very good price / quality ratio.

Growing up, I drifted into a lighter style, I would do so no choice, despite my love for her! : D <3

UTILIZATION

I am not a fan of this axe. Sorry - this guitar is just too cheaply made. The finish had some small runs in it, the neck would shift if I tugged on it slightly, and the tremolo would not keep in tune- I'm sure the quality of the tuners and locking nut are suspect as well. The fretwork was shoddy, with the ends of the frets still sharp and poking out of the side of the fretboard. The knobs even seem cheap. This guitar just wasn't made well.

SOUNDS

The acoustic tone of the F-50 was very plinky, with not much resonance. The pot-metal tremolo block does not help matters, and the pickups are just anemic. I realize that metalheads need a good first guitar or budget shred axe to jam on, but this one should not be it. Thin pickups with no clarity are the name of the game here, unfortunately, so I wouldn't recommend this guitar for its sounds. Some guitars have bad features, but make up for them with good tone - this is not one of those guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is not very good, to be blunt. I'd recommend to anyone considering it to think about a step up from this - with the type of precision that metal and shred deserve, this guitar will not offer it. For just $50-100 more, some better offerings exist from Ibanez, and if one is set on the F series body from LTD, the next best one currently is at $599. I'd like to see LTD make a leap up in quality akin to the Ibanez level for $50-100 more.

UTILIZATION

This grate is very enjoyable to play for hours. The handle is smooth and all the box is easily accessible. The weight is well distributed, and light is very plaizir back. If not for the shape I adore, normal otherwise I would have not bought!
ps: I made it a 9 / 10 because the comfort is not like a grate to € 1 500 for its class but otherwise it is well worth a 10/10.

SOUNDS

With the original pickups sound distortion in the road maintenance. I play the Trash with a home Warp7 Hughes & Ketner and the sound is not bad at all for a grate to € 300. To correct the sound is clear but my style is it for nothing. Maintenent a little advice, if you want a sound Trasheur, buy just a microphone EMG81 and you will feel the difference even with all the world Warp7 criticism, I is the proof.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a great grate me I am completely satisfied and even more since I board a EMG81. I advice to everyone and all styles. Buy it and you will see as you'll fall in love with her, even for its shape. With EMG81 note sélève immediately to 10/10.

IF YOU INTERSSE do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed !!!!!!

- Has a slecteur has 3 positions, one SETTING THE rglage the tone and volume

This guitar comes out of factories ldt. (The ESP label in the same way as for cort ibanez or epiphone gibson for)

His body is enagathis and the key is rosewood

I bought almost 2 years ago, was the era it was part of the new models ltd. and existed only in black, other colors are now available, you have to see

UTILIZATION

TRS is a good value quality price (arserver nanmoin beginners through to a user or a guitar less fortunate)

aesthetics is trs heals, black hardware, recalling the form bc rich without plagiarizing but rste in finesse, it is very lightweight which helps a game more comfortable qu'agrable, sitting or standing despite its "peaks" (unlike the BC Rich ....)

despite its look trs metal, it is not confined only one type of music even if it is when you play as a sepultura deftones or on stage or in front of mates that you understand that the look is not innocent

SOUNDS

The f-50 benefitted from a good sustain, thanks to the strings through the body and jumbo frets

the handle is rather fast, the pickups (2 humbuckers) are powerful, particularly in acute, but not doing serious bad at all

prcis its clean sounds and saturated ca captures without drooling

I play many types of music (from blues to metal, even if she is to regain enough rock or metal songs with my band)

OVERALL OPINION

The mcaniques (oil bath) keep the agreement without problems (except may be in cases of abusive bend)

was the era or I will have advice to anyone, now I do not know if a top model is not worth the move (f-250 (which benefitted from a floyd pink and 2 humbecker passive EMG HZ (passive, far from the sound emg metallica type that use active pickups) and f-100 (which benefitted from colors such as see-thru-blk makes really good)

anyway, for my first quitar (300 Payroll and increasing since then (320 now in the black box) I am happy and trs is now considering changing the pickups to emg 2 81 active

Basswood body.
- Manche 24 cases of maple.
- Rosewood fingerboard, Jumbo frets.
- Benchmarks for "boom" pearl inlaid with model name at 12th fret.
- Floyd Rose original.
- 2 EMG-HZ pickups.
- Mechanical oil bath.
- Black hardware.

UTILIZATION

A common use but remains effective for a débutan biensur: Tone and Volume.
A nice round without being able to afford large Demanche, but I am not yet! She kept a really good gaming comfort! Only drawback, no vibrato, but the guitar is better low-end

SOUNDS

The weak point of this guitar is its sound is not great. The pickups are still correct for the low-end, in fact all about relationship! I'm not complaining, it is very pleasant with its versatility which is very nice because I had taken to make the metal, and are pleased to be able to do something else with!

OVERALL OPINION

Guitar is on reserve at the beginning, but that gives me many hours of pleasure and probably for a while yet! So perfect in his role, because any way that begins with high-end? I regret it!

Agathis body,
24 frets,
two humbuckers esp LH-100
Tune O-matic with string traverssant body
a 3-position pickup selector, volume and tone
Bolt, rosewood fingerboard.

UTILIZATION

The handle end and relatively wide, with tall, wide frets (jumbo). the access is easy to acute (as a superstrate). is a skyscraper rather heavy for its class, but very well balanced. Microphones origins are fairly average in terms of price but they are largely sufficient, that said, the neck pickup a little lack of precision in the bass. They are powerful enough and it is saturated they are best expressed, but the clean sounds are quite drinkable ...
It would also, very good agreement for a skyscraper at 300 €, a mechanical oil bath ESP is good.
A very nice guitar to play!

SOUNDS

This guitar fits perfectly with my style of music (metal) but it is a very versatile guitar that can play a few styles.
I played with a multi-purpose zoom GFX-1 configuration directly connected to an overdrive sound, the sound was very decent and clean sounds quite drinkable, Night in a central position selector microphones.

8 months after edit: I play on an ENGL amp has lights and the sound is very good at all clear that saturated, but still this lack of precision in the lower neck in micro ...
I then installed a DiMarzio DP100 Super micro distortion in bridge (of OCCAZ because nine ca not worth a scratch on that price) and the difference is obvious on a tube amp, it is less showy and more dense!
I expect to change the microphone neck to solve this problem of accuracy ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for the past 8 months, 2 months on a tube amp (ENGL screamer 50)
What I like most: the handle and shape.
What I like least: the slight lack of precision in the lower neck microphone configuration.
Level value for money I would say it's very good, it's a scratch that I would keep my life because I find it very attractive (but I have not said that I would buy no more lol). .. I would do so if this choice, budjet equal, yes, without hesitation, but the next one will certainly eclipse or ESP LTD Deluxe ...

Made-in Indonsie
-24 Frets, 2 EMG HZ humbuckers

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, the guitar does not address. The sitting position is not trs Recommended for play in the treble but standing in the CHAC acute and simple. It's a pretty guitar lgre. The microphone position neck lack of precision in the bass and the strings have a curling STRID trends (acoustic amp but it means not hear ca)

SOUNDS

Well-I plays mtal therefore it ca be trs well despite a default in the micro in the low neck with my band but it also plays rock and it's going well so I was playing trs with an old Carlsbro amp 45 watts but apt this morning ^ ^ and I plan to buy a line6 spider 212 or a marshall MGX100. As I said before the strings curl but with the amp you can hear it too.

OVERALL OPINION

So, I use it for 1 month I love its shape (typically mtal) the mcaniques are excellent and the ergonomics as

"I hsitais between one or the EC-50, or piphone SG-gothic but the f-50 has established itself ^ ^

The quality-price ratio and good for 269 on the internet I'm not dcu ca but would be much better with EMG 81 but hey have to pay the price and quality between a guitar like that is the ca not worth it I would take probably a 400 EX in future times ^ ^ (it dchire)

Guitar factory in Indonsie.
She possde 24 frets and 2 humbuckers Lh-100.
There is a volume knob, 1 Tone and a 3-position selector.
This is a Bolt and the body is agathis.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable, easy play Access in acute is easy. The guitar is not heavy and trs is balance when sitting.

I do not like the form, dpart j'hsit between the LTD EC-50, the v-50, the ex-50 and F-50 which are of the same quality guitars. I took the f-50 because it had more frets than the others and traversing ropes (which amliore sustain).

SOUNDS

It should be my style of music (mtal), I play with a Line 6 Spider II 15 watt and a Marshall 10CD.
I use all the time the two microphones, the sound for me in this position.

OVERALL OPINION

I play with for about 6 months, I had a Squier Start before it's on it's neck and his level best but I do not map to the f-50.
I have not tried other models, which is a mistake on my part hhh.
The report qualitprix is ​​good, but if the choice silent again I do not take.

A friend lent me his ltd f-50 in exchange for my fender strato us.

- In which country was it made?
it was made in Indonesia

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
there are 24 frets (high enough for that matter), and 2 humburker

- What type of easel
fixed bridge type les paul

- What are the settings
A 3 position pickup selector, 1 tone and 1 volume

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
for me yes, the transition fender (the foot) to ltd has not been too derengeante.

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
so access is easy, however, do not expect to play on the 24th, too close and be forced to be a nag with the right hand to get out some work.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
weight is resonant about the same as my Start. form, matter of taste I hang myself too much, and the game sitting is feasible.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...

there are not many settings that can be performed on it (using only rarely the tone knob). if the sounds are correct. (Reminds me of the sound of Muse when I plugged my v-amp simulation with a Soldano).

sounds clean, blah blah blah this guitar is not made for.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?

yes I play a rock muse / black, it holds the road
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
plugged into a marshall 30 watt or on my v-amp simulation with a Soldano (my favorite porn amp)
for effects, compressor and chorus when I play clean, to catch a bit of guitar distortion, if not very fine, sometimes the phaser and delay.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
Preferably, the distortion very precise and fine with a Soldano on the bridge pickup
or clean with the neck pickup, compressor and chorus)

hated clean "nature", the crunch, and ditto imprecise that makes the guitar sometimes dificil controllable.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I play it often enough, I was loaned for the 2 Three days, which confirms my earlier impressions.

What is so special that you like most and least?
+: Price, soliditée some sonoritées.
- This guitar takes no agreement, at least bends the string in question is disagreement, it's more qu'insuportable,
the temperature at the lowest ecartça off again in balls, a concert 3 weeks ago in the sun guitar desacrodait live almost horrible.

otherwise the poor quality of the knobs that are barred, and the jack that must review all hours ...

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

a little of all strata, the BC Rich, of the gibson godin, ibanez of any ...

How would you rate the quality / price?
to € 300 should find a better course, if the price is extremely reasonable
the bc rich Florian (best friend and guitarist) also the profile of the handle a little more special is CARREMENT the agreement, not sound too bad for the same price

the sound is a saturated .. bah LTD is made for a, a send mchament serious, the neck pickup is mchant, the medium is rather good and the bridge pickup is quite pr cis. good clean sound it is not the height ... bad enough yet for a few harmonics but pass the full agreement is dropped ..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a 1 year or so, the era I flash form, a little less laid back, the report quality price him up the tone, it's good stuff for not too expensive.
if I had to reselect ds this price range I might be taken SERIES viper probably a guitar or a bit more versatile like a jet lag

I will notice as amber, well made guitar, it was worth every penny .. finish rather heals, it is trslgre, which is not to make dsagrable.
the handle is enjoyable end. look rather nice.

UTILIZATION

To replace a jackson kelly pro, who has over ten years and requires a good rest MRIT ... (And too heavy compared this skyscraper featherweight)

SOUNDS

Trs it sounds good, the only problem is with microphones, which must be honnte, not the height.
so I opt for a kit EMG KFK (81 85 + PA2) ... and its potential is fully diffrent, a fat sound, and prcis. on BR600, it dchaine and gives a big sound.

OVERALL OPINION

So honnte notice, a good scraper if you take the trouble to ajoindre kit of quality microphones.
I do not regret my purchase, especially since I have my kit pos EMG (quite galre I admit)

It was made in silent Indonsie
24 boxes 2 ESP LH 100 Humbucker
Tune o matic
a 3-position selector knob one volume a tone knob

UTILIZATION

A handle super enjoyable compared to some other scratches in the same price range
Access in acute relatively easy thanks to its body size
nikel ergonomics is not too heavy weight makes the form Access in acute
distortion in a peavey bandit 112 with a distortion pedal to drive the blood in his coffin box dchire while the clean sounds good enough for a skyscraper of mtal I find it versatile enough

SOUNDS

It fits perfectly with my style grunge / mtal / alternative / punk
I play with a peavey bandit 112 with a distortion pedal of blood drive (the same as John)
c in clean cold enough on some amps, but on mine it sounds trs good about my style of game just gnial distortion.
I love the sound of the bridge pickup is really overkill, but the neck pickup has a low output level even with super good rglages

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months
I love its shape and sound are above the comfort that it has
qualitprix excellent report
I would do this choice because, as I really love this scratching

The F50 is part of the ESP LTD F series. These guitars are aimed at people who are looking for a guitar on a budget, and the F series appeals to those who are more into the whole Japanese Visual Kei thing. Along with its extreme looks, it features a basswood body, maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, 24 extra jumbo frets, two humbuckers, a hardtail bridge setup, one volume, one tone and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar feels pretty haggard, to be honest. The frets are fairly sharp and aren't fully crowned. This is always a big issue with the super low LTD line. The fretwork on these is really off putting. The actual body and routes are clean as all the bodies are CNC'd, so there are no issues there. The neck joint has some play in it, and this is also a common issue with the low end LTDs. The tolerances aren't nearly as tight as the higher end line, and I feel that can hinder tone. The body shape is, of course, purely in the eye of the beholder, so I won't comment on that. The rest of the guitar is fairly typical.

SOUNDS

The guitar sounds pretty dull, and the stock pickups aren't helping. The bridge humbucker is pretty thin sounding, and the neck is pretty muddy. Replacing these with some real electronics can help, but it really depends on the specific guitar you happen to own. If the guitar sounds dull and lifeless, like a lot of these do, you're not really going to be able to fix it by a simple pickup swap. If it were me, I'd probably slap some EMGs or Blackouts in it to help allow for the pickups' internal preamps to add some character to the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

These guitars are obviously geared towards beginner players who are on an extremely tight budget. If you're looking for that somewhat Visual Kei guitar body shape, your choices are pretty limited, so you're probably going to be looking at this. I recommend at least getting one a few models up, if you can. You'll have a better chance at getting a nicer sounding guitar that's more consistent with its fretwork and tolerances.

This is a guitar made by ESP, one of their LTD Models, which is basically a cheaper version of their regular guitars. These guitars are made in Indonesia and Korea, and as such are generally not of the same quality as American Made instruments. They are essentially better made for beginners. It has an agathis body, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, and two half-decent humbucking pickups which are made by ESP. The bridge is a tune-o-matic.

UTILIZATION

This guitar isn't the best playing one I've tried, but for a beginner guitar suited for metal, it's not bad. It has big frets and the neck will allow a player to get some cool riffs happening. If single-note machine-gun style riffs are your forte, this will be a good fit for you. Don't expect to be able to cross genres, though, as this guitar doesn't really allow you to do that. It doesn't make it easy to play barre or even jazz chords. Solos are easy to play as long as they are of the rip-roaring variety.

SOUNDS

This guitar should really, only be played with a heavy distortion setting. The humbuckers don't really have much ambiance when played clean at all. But when rocking an insanely heavy distortion or fuzz, this guitar shines, as it has a low-noise signal that can really rock hard. The low end especially cuts through nicely. This really, as I've repeatedly stated, is only good for metal. I can't imagine any other type of player really enjoying this type of guitar. Even among ESPs, this one doesn't really sound that great, but for the price I think you get just about what you'd expect. I think if you bought this and replaced the pickups, you'd have a really nice-sounding guitar on your hands, if not a great-playing one.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this guitar is a nice metal beginner's guitar but nothing special. If you are a metal player looking for some serious quality, ESP offers much nicer models that are quite impressive even to somebody like myself who admittedly isn't the world's biggest metal fan. But if you want something just to play along to your favorite Slayer records with, and don't have many ambitions beyond that, then I think this could work nicely for you.

Make: In Indonesia
24 Boxes
Micro EMG (pay enough for my by)


UTILIZATION

A handle more than pleasant to use than this am for parts sliding or treble a pleasure compared to some harder guitar

A beautiful abbord force is to this that made me buy it, a lightweight
really not bad

as I said a very easy access to acute
and superb sound for my kind of music besides my micro EMG
A nickel

SOUNDS

tone for my style of music (Metal, TrashMétal, HardRock ...)
The sounds and bold and the distortion is very buggers and nickel
I play with an amp that is enough time for the home
Marshall MG50FX Despite poor reviews of this amp I am satisfied
The sound I Prefair sound in the crunch between any among others I like less

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 ½ years
I essailler 2 other models that was not bad but not better than the LTD F-50 to I have not hesitate one second
I especially love his form at the start, which are then run very pleasant so as I said and it is simply monstrous
For the price it cost even though I add more EMG, the simple guitar was very affordable and worth far more than price are
a choice that I board still not regret it and I think never regret
