USE
The neck is super nice, I avai an Ibanez forward with a handle super narrow wizard, and bc rich, but honestly I never felt so comfortable on a guitar, and I think I'll stay on esp anything that it happens now. the access to acute nickel is (it's a guitar solo anyway), the form bah it's a dinky what, we like it or not like (which I love!), the sound: in his clear the bridge pickup is awesome! clear! the neck pickup is average I think, not enough bluesy (my original micro ibanez rang better) in its distortion: it has a sound very round (a 81 with a little fishing less what) if not the same: micro terrible easel means neck pickup. I put 10 not because the neck pickup, otherwise the rest is perfect! floyd is great for me the best licensed as I could try.
SONORITS
I play metal (Metallica essentielement, black sabbath ...) and frankly with an amp that follows is nickel (avt 275 modified). it was nice to fiddle with the settings, the sound is very round (metallica, black album), the opposite of my Ibanez sound that came out very sharp with the same amp (type metallica kill'em all). clear sound with the bridge pickup is terrible (nothing else matters is fucking cry with a little reverb ...) and its distos are not bad (still pickup) we feel good driver handle (terrible sustain, especially then I put the 10-46).
NOTICE GLOBAL
I've had a few months and say nothing: she is beautiful, the violin is of great quality. made a baill that j'voulai and I'm not an esp deu !!! quality ratio terrible price !!!!!!!!! (+ Or - 1000) especially for me, my dealer has made me 670! (Good client). frankly it sounds like an M2 Standard esp, provided we change the pickups (yes). I intend to put a kit emg 81-85 shortly. the best skyscraper that g could try, I repeat that choice blow on !!! (And I even take two !!!!!!).
I would put 9 with the original microphone ... but the guitar in it even with emg ACTV kit worth 10 then ...See less00 - MGR/ESP Mh-301

Awsome sound, very fast neck. Great sound perfect craftman ship. Floryd rose locking tremelo works great.
its an koren made ltd and emg hz h-4 humbuckers. Not bad i just prefer emg 81's and 60's
Great looks. The quilted maple top really stands out. Draws a crown when in public.
The binding is perfect and the neck thru neck it perfect for anything.
The best guitar for the price. The tone and sustain is just unbelivable.

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.

Published on 06/04/03 at 15:00I had been playing my 1986 Japanese Stratocaster for too many years, through too much abuse. I decided it was time for a new mate. I did some research on-line, visited my local music store, plyed several different models, and decided ESP was worth a try. I bought this guitar at Samash.com, for $479.00 ($899.00 list) - a bargain. Normal retail is about $699.00.
First, the playability is very good. The neck is very similar to a Strat in thickness, but has a better overall feel. The action is very good, among the best I have experienced.
Second, Component quality is very high. The tuning keys, licensed floyd bridge, knobs, all very nice.
Third, finish and overall appearance are first-rate.…Read moreI had been playing my 1986 Japanese Stratocaster for too many years, through too much abuse. I decided it was time for a new mate.

Second, Component quality is very high. The tuning keys, licensed floyd bridge, knobs, all very nice.
Third, finish and overall appearance are first-rate. You won't find any better. Nice top, but I will tell you for free - you don't get AA flame, curly, quilt, or birds-eye maple on guitars in this price range. With ESP, you do get a nice looking, thick quilt top, perfectly finished. Nicely done, ESP
Fourth, the sound is great. The EMG pick-ups are very, very nice. I changed out the EMG in the bridge position to a FRED for a while, but put the EMG back in because it sounded better in this case (and I love the FRED pickup.) The 5-way "mega switch" is a nice touch - gives you a couple of sounds where the Hums are split and paired - really nice tones.
Product integrity is great. After one year, the only problem I have had is with the arm of the trem unit not screwing in quite as securely as I would like. Sustain is great, as it should be for a neck-through.
As I mentioned, the trem arm is a pisser. Otherwise, no complaints. HOWEVER - (a big however) - when I received the guitar, right out of the box, with a QA sticker on the back, signed and tested in the good 'ol U S of A, gues what -NO sound out of 4 of the 5 positions on the switch. I opened 'er up and found a wire to the 5-way switch was not actually soldered in place. Nasty blemish on an otherwise great ownership experience.
Already did that above, but I will iterate - Other than the initial loose wire, this is a top quality product. This guitar easily compares to custom shop guitars, and you are hearing this from a guitarist with over 20 years of playing and buying experience. All I can say is - I will see how it ages over the next several years. The first year leaves a very strong impression that this is one of the best guitars I have played or owned.
Tough competition out there in Guitar land - great for us players. I have no reservations about the purchase of this guitar. I would buy it again. Striking to look at. I would even say it is an inspiring instrument to play.
At the very least, before you buy a guitar, you should spend an hour with an ESP M or MH series. I think it is a great guitar at any price.

UTILIZATION
The neck is perfect, Access in acute idem, the guitar weighs pitit its weight, but normal c, c pa a guitar bought 300 francs in cash converter either!
The good sound comes out naturally, but if one of the branch on a Bontempi 10 watts, the sound will be good can be no return!
SOUNDS
I use it on a peavey bandit 112 with Boss MT-2 and the 5-for effects, and it turns nickel.
If not in the studio, I added a lil pod 2.0, and also, no complaints!
OVERALL OPINION
Well it's simple, it's MY guitar. well of course there is the peavey wolfgang EVH front, but there just after the one lol, it costs too much for his qualitbien amricaine less than a high-end), and frankly it's worth it . She is beautiful, we feel that it is treated the handle is directly in the body, are pa screw around like some scratches, short c bo! we want more ...See less00 - oldfearsPublished on 04/01/05 at 01:46 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Channel driver Access in acute incredible

I have this guitar for over a year!
I really like everything about this guitar, the only defect it may be that the stem of the floyd from both a little balls, but really not much c, and it is quite common on the guitar in this Cathegory price ...
But otherwise no, impeccable, great value quality price!
