The body is mahogany with a driver handle 24 cases in maple with ebony fingerboard and jumbo fret the octave is marked with an inlay ESP microphones are EMG-81 active electronics (just like his blade I find especially we expect a big fat well) mechanisms are a traditional oil bath, self-locking Sperzel even if the tuning is reliable enough it is very difficult to have a tune that moves. With a binding on the neck and any t beaute.on by a 2 button one of the other tonal and volume with a 3 position selector

UTILIZATION

For me the handle is not super nice because for some it may be very rapid access to acute is pretty easy though not too often we go in boxes 22 23 24 th. As against the guitar is a bit heavy compared to a gibson which for me is superior in therm of quality (and price of course) the sound is rather bland unless it is a big fat marshall behind I do not Consiel play on a small 15-watt combo as you will be on it. For this kind of guitar he fo mesa boogie, marshall of light c is essential to exploit the potential of this guitar.

SOUNDS

This guitar is Excellent for the hard style trash fan of Max Cavalera will find their account and all cheveulus and other lovers of no-metal. It is preverable to play on a big fat JCM 2000 for a great sound as the EMG-81 is missing (for me) a comparison of power-Di Marzio Seymour Duncan or the clean sound is not great (but I think that must come from the marshall) after the crunch and the overdrive can go to the microphones are still relatively precise

OVERALL OPINION

The shape of the guitar is quite attractive it is a fairly standard guitar, whatever people may say but I have a jackson and I must say IE is not the picture ESP is a whole step down (I do not speak the tuning) I think this Guitres is a bit expensive for what it is, moreover, all the range ESP Ltd are expensive and very average apart from the EC-1000 which is pretty good I do not think that fans should move her big in this range but rather in Jackson, which for me offers the best models o the best price
