    - It is heavy but its asse going again, the ergonomics are generally good except the point that one can fit into the flop when playing seated.

    No, I am the seller loans office.
    The report qualitprix is ​​really good for 250 was a really good guitar, perfect for metal.
    No, I turn towards the Japanese model for ESP groups that I play, but mainly for the metal I really the council.

    Not that great

    LTD F-50Published on 05/26/11 at 17:10
    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 CN…

    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.

    Decent guitar for the novice metalhead

    LTD F-50Published on 05/19/11 at 12:25
    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 ri…

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.

    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
