LTD M-201 (2001)

i bought this guitar through musicians friend catalog. i was skeptical about buying without trying but i knew esp had a good rep.and a lifetime warranty so i figured i had nothing to lose and being that all the guitar shops around almost never has any lefties in stock i had no other choice but trust. damn im glad i did!!

not only am i proud and confident of the name on the head stock the guitar has looks that kill.eyeballing from head stock on down you see the esp ltd logo going down to the locks next travel down the neck and admire the beauty of its shark fin pearl inlays...continue on down to the twelth fret and get proud again because there we have another logo..the model in this case it displays m-210 in pearl.want more?? we are going to examine the pick ups now...emg baby!! stock..2 hums and the bridge has an eng active after burner!! ouch!!this S.O.B. will shredd your as@ off! i proise you that three knobs the last one is a push/pull to activate the pick-up.not then as if we needed any more options there is fully equipped floyf rose trem set up for fluttering or straight tremolo.and last but not least the sound..well wat can i say the guitar its self sounds better than it looks!and the better the guitarist the better it sounds.

nothing really... ive always played pearl dot inlays and it took about a day to get fully used to the shark fin inlays no biggie.

immencely flawless a beautiful piece of art smooth silky strong....oops i better stop there lol..you get my drift.

for you left handers out there looking for a quality hard rocking guitar and wanna get away from the ibanez for a while lke i did this is definetly the guitar for you im 24 years olde and ive been playing 17 years i havnt played alot of guitars due to the avaliability in left handed instruments but this one is by far the best of the best! it plays just like a broken in guitar right out of the box!i love that../dont you hate new guitar feel? asl stiff and all,but this wawsnt like that i could of played out live with it the day i received it..no B.S. and my dad id 46 years old and he even loves the deadly look to it .so in conclusion is say this is the greatest guitar so come along for a long time.

I paid about $500 for this guitar at Guitar City Drum Land in Colorado.

Although I could of got this guitar a little more cheaper, I still say the money's worth it. When you pick up the M-201 you can't put it down. It has a fast thin neck fully playable frets and the EMG HZ H-1 pickups make it impossble for other guitars to compare.

I'd say the only thing that I don't like about the M-201 is changing the strings on it (get a floyd rose and you'll see what I mean) and you have to put a 9V battery in it if you want to boost it up 20db but it's way worth it. That's pretty much it.

It has a Floyd Rose licensed tremolo, Neck and Head binding, maple neck, basswood body,24XJ frets, and a EMG afterburner.
This is one crazy guitar!

You'll give up before your guitar does!

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable, fairly large, in fact just enough good APRS is a matter of taste ...
Nothing is the fault of this guitar rgonomie: rsonable weight, perfect balance, form pretty standard.
The finish is exemplary.
The sustain is exellent.

SOUNDS

I play rock and it is quiet or not this everywhere and scratching myself j'obtient true to say all of it ...

The sound is quite clear lens distortion and it's aluminum! The harmonic trs so well.
Otherwise this guitar solos for both ensures that the fuse for the rhythm.

I would not say we play everything with this guitar (drunk, jazz it means) but it is quite a polivalante: pop, rock, mtal ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and I repeat nothing has it, I had no problem as it is now the very first time I saw anything in the store has moved! !

This scratch is really fantastic and frankly the quality price ratio trs good!
