UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, but nothing more. For my part I find it slightly too wide, probably due to the fact that I'm used to the handle of my jackson ...
It is quite versatile, and ca ca was my biggest surprise, because of these two micro EMG HZ, for example, that much less RR24 but still a RR1 (not the same either ... budjet )
The ergonomics are perfect, like all forms known as Randy Rhoads, perfect to play standing, so onstage too;) to play sitting down, it's not complicated -> see the opinion on the Jackon RR24. But to play sitting ATTENTION is the biggest flaw of this model, in fact, as the Jackson RX10d, jack MANDATORY elbow, at the risk of damaging.
The handle painted on the back brings a lot, it's something I appreciate because in this level range, it generally wait until the wood is "done" so that it hangs when it is least not painted
The sound is easy to make out, it's a mid-range guitar.

SOUNDS

Guitar clearly oriented metal. It does not hide it elsewhere ...
The sound is much more crunch, and even more dynamic than a Jackson RR3 to provide a baseline equivalent.
Of course, I would not have a proper amp for this kind of guitar, but I still managed to get something.
It changes the EMG-81 is on! This is much less brilliant, are not assets ... But they are doing very well compared to what they say always, and nothing beats its own opinion by trying ...
The clean sound is not his thing too, but she is doing better than RR24. We must also say that I never / rarely seen anyone play clean with RR ...

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar started to harmonize supply ltd and be in the trend (look at Laiho again ... it's not by chance, the guitarist of Children Of Bodom increasingly publicized) really "out of the mouth "for that price, his big strength is definitely its look (also available in black with white or yellow stripe from the beginning of the year) and saw the finish, it has more characteristic of the ltd series" 1000 "or" 400 "then around 900, € 1000.
I think for the price, € 545 is a good guitar, it has a nice little "package", for example, compared to its famous rival, the Jackson RX10D that she really does pay its shape.
For the first time that I have a ltd with as good quality / price ratio, surprising for having tested many Randy Rhoads and also other models ltd, I just say that the midrange is really their strength in ESP / ltd.
Great second guitar to the stage when RR has a more upscale, and perfect to begin with.
The Mirror Of Madness guitarist has done in his favorite guitar http://www.mom.fi/video/index.html

The best quality / price for a guitar like Randy Rhoads to this price!

Nb: it is also available as a free floyd fixed bridge string through-for the modest sum of € 400 as the MMV BO
And unfortunately, no MMV is currently marketed in our beloved country ...
Only import, like the Jackson RR24 (J2SP Japan) at the time ...
