LTD Solid Body Electric Guitars

Ordered it online from Music123 for 200 dollars. Great sound. Nice black finish. Smooth frets. Neck is very fast and comfortable to play on. The body has a nice contour. The strings it came with are great. Doesn't tell you that it comes with a cable. I paid 10 dollars more for a cable. This doesn't really deal with the guitar. That's all. Very well constructed. The body and neck are great. A MUST BUY! Great for a beginner/intermediate player. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I got this guitar for $445 from Midnight Music (http://www.midnightmusicweb.com) in Pittsburgh, PA. I had wanted an ESP for a while. After playing Ibanez, Schecter, Fender, and Jackson, I finally found this guitar and knew it was the one. This guitar has everything that I was looking for. EMG-HZ pickups give a crunching heavy metal sound. it has 24 frets so I can play as high as I want to. the bridge is a tune-o-matic (i think). the point is, it is NOT a floyd rose bridge, which are a huge pain to tune down. the body is shaped so it can be played sitting down (unlike the V shaped guitars) but it still looks differet from an average stratocaster shaped guitar (i refuse to conform). it plays better than any other guitar that i have played even though the neck is glossy, unlike a maple neck which is smooth. it is very hard to find an affordable guitar with all of these great features. i got lucky when i found this guitar. the viper i found was black. i wanted a blue or red guitar since my other guitar is black, but this guitar is so great I really don't care what color it is. I'm not sure why, but set neck and neck thru are supposed to be better than a bolt on. this guitar has a set neck. it is solidly built. the tuners are tight, the body construction is solid, everything is perfect. 1. EMG HZ pickups 2. 24 frets 3. body shape allows me to sit and play 4. bridge allows strings to be tuned down easily 5. solid construction 6. plays great all these things make up the best guitar that i have played in the 11 years that i have played guitar. the price is good, the guitar is great. if you're looking for a new guitar, check this one out.

I needed a new beginners guitar because my other one kept on breaking. I bought this guitar at Wembley Guitar Centre for 179 pounds. I like it's strat-type body and the pickups sound ok. The neck is really comfortable and overall it is really light. If your not touching the guitar strings during distortion, it makes an annoying buzzing sound. The body's wood is not dense enough. It is black (also available in grey) and has a strat type body. It has a 3 way switch and 2 humbuckers. There is a tone and volume knob and it has a bridge with a trmelo bar. The neck is maple with a rosewood fretboard, but im not sure about the body's wood. It's a pretty guitar, but if the body was made of a slighty better wood, it would be really good.

I got it from a friend who broke his hand and he didn't have much of a use for it for a long time so he loaned it to me the body is awesome, cool design and nice tone. the neck is a bolt on but its nice and smooth. the pickups, EMG's baby! this is also the modle with the ass kicking afterburner so you get gain up and down the yin yang! 2 words: floyd rose. If you're a beginner don't EVER EVER get a guitar with a floyd rose bridge. you need 3 degrees in engineering to change the strings. also, i wish it was neck thru but thems the breaks. great construction, the body is nice and tough as is the neck but watch out for that floyd rose! if youre an experienced player, buy a bunch. one of the best guitars ever. if youre a beginner go for a lesser model like the f-100 or f-50 This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I reacently bought this guitar about three weeks ago at a place called Flores Music in Peoria Illinois. It had a very reasonable price of about $500. I fell in love with this beast since I first set eyes on it. In all reallity you can't find a better price considering all the hardware it comes with, Floyd Rose tremo. and EMG HZ double hums. Highly considerable!! Well the F body style is a serious eye cather. I always have been a huge fan of Metallica, and I like the deep crunch of Korn. Thats why I chose the seven string. I love how much bang you get for your buck. I can honestly say that there isn't much that I don't like. But if you consider this product and this is your first Floyd Rose. Us caution when changing the strings. You can't change all the strings at once because you can damage the springs and then you are looking at about $25-$50 to get it repaired. I like a solid body guitar, but this is a high quality piece of work with its maple neck and basswood body. Stylish and sturdy!! I would highly consider this guitar for the artist that is on a buget. For $500, you just can't ask for much more!! This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bout it from Musicians friend for about $180. it was on sale. The bridge pickupsounds pretty good it's a duncan designed pickup that is supposed to be like a JB. The neck is pretty good fits me well enough. not great but its not a high end guitar. The neck pickup has a good Clean sound The neck pickup is designed after a Seymour Duncan Jaz> it sounds great clean butt is hard to distort. It seems pretty strufy so far Its good guitar for the beginner or the pro on a budget This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I ordered this guitar from the Guitar World in Queensland, Nerang. They charged me $1500 AUD, which means I paid $400 less than the RRP ($1900). Cheerin'... EVERYTHING. It has all the essentials for a great axe, in my opinion it is the best purchase you can make in this price range. It came with a great action setup and I have experienced no problems with it whatsoever. NOTHING except that the headstock doesn't seem to like wall guitar stands very much because of it's angled, pointed shape. See-thru cherry red colour, neck-thru constuction, slim body and a stunning quilted maple top make this guitar look excellant and also feel excellant. The maple neck is wide (extra jumbo 24) and also lengthy (25.5") which is a very nice attribute. The nut locks and black Floyd Rose Licensed locking bridge are awesome, the guitar stays in tune even when you are ripping it to s*** with the tremolo bar; therefore perfect for onstage performance. The EMG-HZ humbuckers sound really nice, and there is a lot of room for tone experimentation with the 5-slot pickup selector. Nice chunky sound with crunch but can also deliver a very subtle, yet pronounced clean. All in all, the only thing that could possibly make this guitar any better would be to throw in a pair of EMG-81s...however this is an amazing guitar regardless, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wouldn't mind spending some good money on a quality instrument made by a respectable company. ESP rock. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Used, $450 This axe is for serious rockers. I replaced my old epi les paul with this, and it is awesome. Alot of weight, so the sustain and balls of the sound are great. Great playablity, with and awesome feel. It comes stock with the EMG HZ's, which are good for standard passive pickups. The clean tone through the neck simply sings, while the bridge position distorted its completely evil. There really is nothing about this guitar I don't like...The finish is awesome, and you'll get some serious looks with it on you. If you are a lightweight, it might be a bit heavy for you, but after a while you'll get used to it/get stronger. Very solid. The set neck is perfect, with a superb angle and a touch of relief. The wiring behind is also neat and strong, I'll never worry about anything wearing out. The fretboard is very smooth and polished, as well as the extra jumbo frets (the are tall). Its been dropped and doesn't even care- this guitar would take anything! This is a finely crafted instrument. For the money, I don't think it could be beat. And the andonized aluminum diamond tread rocks!! (and its real) This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

$200/musicians friend closeout! A total of $214.94 shipped to my home. All they had left was titanium finish which shouldnt turned down, because it looks beautiful. It's kinda of a charcoal grey metallic, sweet! The duncan designed pickups sound great, no noise, plenty of chunk, nice clean tone too. The body is comfortable to stand up and play for long periods of time. The neck is an awesome natural finish that plays remarkable, no flaws here. It looks way more evil to me than a warlock and is 3x the quality. There are guitars that are not this good in the $800-1000 price range. You wont believe the action! Excellent for serious metal!!! Nothing really at all. The factory light gauge strings are kind of crappy, but easily fixed with a set of skinny top-heavy bottom ernie ball strings, about $9. Much more bottom. I dislike nothing about this guitar! Very excellent, I dont know how they make a guitar ths good for so little $$$. Hangs with all the big names. It has good sustain and the fretwork is mind boggling. You should consider an Ltd! You cannot simply buy a better guitar for the $200 price. Instead of reading this you should be ordering one while they are still left. This is my first esp and it will not be my last. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this for £900 in Hitchin (England). I saw the look of it and thought, "Cool! lets have twnag or 2". Action- good tone control- none volume- okay Humbucker- good coil pickup- none tuning- fab! I thought the guitar is too expensive but it is rare in England so I kept it. The red naked devil girl is the body an the tail turns from red to silver on the fret board. Somtimes, the devil turns me on (nothing personal Kelly! xxx) it is an alrite yet expensive guitar.

Paid $440 at sam ash. I bought it cause i wanted an explorer shape guitar, and couldnt afford a gibson. With ESP's new design, it looks a lot different from the gibson and now i prefer this style over the original. First of all i love the look of the guitar. It is so easy to play, the neck is incredibly smooth and fast. Stock pickups were ok, but noisy, so i replaced them and now the sound is 10 times better. No blemishes upon recieving the guitar, i had to order it cause nobody had one instock. the action was perfect out of the box, but really i have no complaints. For the money, i dont think you can get better guitars than anything from ESP's ltd line. I would buy this guitar again if anything happened to it.

I bought this guitar over a year ago at a local music store (House of Guitars) in Houston, TX. I got it for around $600 or so. Overall this guitar is pretty awsome. Nice neck through, I like the licensed Floyd Rose, EMG HZ's aren't bad, the finish is beautiful for a mid range priced guitar, and it plays like a dream (fast and easy). The only problems I've experienced with this guitar in my year plus playing (including playing death metal and at dirty clubs) is the tremlo bar comes loose and you have to tighten it every once in a while, and the screws on my neck EMG HZ pickup have rusted a little (I sweat like crazy when i play- from the headbanging and jumping around), but it still works and sounds fine. I guess I had to set up the guitar a little when I first got it also. This guitar is built to withstand anyting. I can't tell you how many times I've knocked it into something, some one, etc., and it is still working fine and really not that beaten up (only a few knicks here and there). Definately a quality built guitar. I would recommend this guitar to anyone. It's a work horse, sounds great, and you don't have to baby it like a $1000+ dollar guitar and worry about it all the time. I guess ESP just makes the MH-301 now, but that appears to be just as good a guitar (only real difference is the flamed maple top on the MH-300 vs. the quilted top on the MH-301's.).
