So we have a small Korean (LTD forces) very good quality

- Mahogany body, maple table, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard
- 24 XJ frets types
- 2 EMG active pickups, a neck and a level 85 level 81 bridge
- Floyd Rose licensed bridge (not original ...)
- 3-position selector, one volume knob and one tone

the handle is stuck, but stuck very clean: it gives an impression of neck-

in short a nice little scoop that makes you want to see what it has in the belly

UTILIZATION

Personally, I find the ergonomics of the handle excellent
it's varnish, is quite rounded on the first frets and s'applattit to acute
Access to them is fairly easy: I never use the frets 23 and 24, but I could not worry if the need was
an aesthetic point of view, I think the plan binding around the handle is not more good taste, but hey ... lol

I find it rather light and pleasant to play both sitting and standing
side adjustment, not chipotte: tone and volume all the way, we chose the microphone according to what we want and we send ...

SOUNDS

So there!! it's up ^ ^
I am a fada Metallica, and here I take to Kirk (unless I'm missing at least 12 fingers lol) It's the sound I wanted

I use a Vox AD15VT with a digitech distortion for DF7
and here I rediscovered my amp

his level, I remain in the simple
- In his clear round on the 85
- Distortion in the bridge 81
I never use the center position of the switch
if I can also recommend a trick is to retune the guitar a semitone below: I find the EMG really prove with this setting

upgrade its clear, I love the arpeggios with 85, really "to Metallica" (well close, I do not stuff them ^ ^)
on the other hand, it is better to forget the agreements in the clear is far from being his strong point, although I have made the roots and blues in small parties, and it was not the cata ...
for distortion, humhum .... EMG 81 ... you need there more??
with my DF7, I get a good aggressive distortion while keeping the accuracy of the notes: that's the least we can say is that it is not rough

it should be noted that scratching a lot in the bass: in the clear, it is sometimes difficult to ringing hammers and pull-off, especially when accompanying a bass line
it is better to spend some time on the settings to achieve the desired sound and not be disappointed with the clean sounds
in distortion, I have not felt this problem, the notes are accurate both in acute severe

sustain the thunder through the handle (which has little to envy to a real driver) and palm mute out with ease
that happiness on my side ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months
I got it to 750 euros in my small retailer, with ABS case and a strap

an aesthetic point of view, I left at the start of the series of EC LTD (les paul shape)
my seller, who knows me well, made me try it right well, and I'm left with!
I love the handle and the ergonomics, I like less the white binding on neck and head (I prefer the reverse) but hey, I chipotte ^ ^

for once I tried a lot of models before cracking: almost all models of *- 400 LTD, Cort EVL, RG Ibanez, Epiphone Zakk Wylde and others that I have not scored more than that ...
then it was the favorite in the test

level quality / price ratio, I find that the series of 400 *- ltd are excellent at this level: I find a cheap deluxe ...

and yes, I would do this choice without hesitation, although I hope the next will be stamped ESP ^ ^
