I will not dwell on the media, simply refer to the ESP site.
However, it is an entry-level very high.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a small mine of fun, round and pleasant. I almost started the guitar with his acquisition. So I could see that the handle is also nice when we started, when you go up the ladder, and you begin to master a guitar.

In the opinion of many musicians and vendors, the handle is very nice, and allows a good offense, as much power as the access table with acute that is easily accessible: no worries really. It is true that compared to the models slightly supétieurs (type Ltd Viper), it still feels a little rough finish one, but considering the price, out of the question to complain.
The weight is the black point, as former bassist, I can not say I had a feeling of being relieved. In terms of sound, tone 3 is enough.
We quickly sought to have the sound, provided one does the heavy. No instability in the detuning.
The Floyd is a rigorous place, no worries on that side.

SOUNDS

To the metal, or emo, you can access quickly to a heavy sound, precise, incisive or sister, well made.
For rehearsals in the studio, still careful to amp you will use. We have a clear sense of frustration among the materials that we have cared for a JCM 900 and rotten studio. It was this feeling of not use the guitar to its fair value.

For my part I use a Line 6 spider 2 (50 W). The combination gives her a huge budget, frankly diffile to do better, if one accepts the cold light of digital technology. (What is coorige with practice).
Harmonics are very effective and it takes very little to get them out. Without having the harmonic noise.
The saturation is very brassy and fun on tube amps, no problem of identity in terms of compositions heavy riffs and powerful required.
The sound is much clear plastic on my Line 6 and a little plastic tube amp, here is the weak point of the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I would not fall into the trap of coneiller everyone my guitar. Especially since I changed to a Variax, admirable. But to conclude, I think that if you have small budget, you will choose this quitar. If metal riff Gogole you love dark, it's very good. It's not really a guitar home studio, however. I used it two years and I think it's a good life until you want to spend the models above. I took this guitar on a favorite, shape pleased me much, it's class, and aggressive brand of ESP you tell me.

With experience, without any concern, and notament next to the value, I would do this choice.
