Purchase: I bought it used from a friend for $100.
Pros: The 24-fret neck is great. It is so easy to solo with. I like the vintage tremolo, although it could use tightening a little bit to keep it in tune more often. Nice warm sound to the instument.
Cons: The pickups absalutely suck. Once you replace them with a couple of emg active humbuckers instead of the passive stock ones it comes with you'll be all set with a great sounding utiar, but don't expect it to ahve anything phenomenal using the stock pickups, just average for the price range(about $200 new).
Quality: Very solid construction. As long as you don't ride it down stairs you should be just fine. Beautiful black finish to the instrument.

Summary: Once you replace the stock pickups you have a great sounding guitar.

On 2002-12-13, Metalli-Fan gave this ESP Electric Guitar a 3...(3395)


Purchase: I bought this guitar because i had a gay Fender. I payed $200.00.
Pros: I really like the neck, it's so comfortable. I can play those Metallica solos like a penis through a vagina.
Cons: I really hate the poser tremolo bridge. I'd rather have a floyd rose II tremolo bridge. I dont like the pickups either, they are just as sucky as fender's.
Quality: The construction is very reliable, it's quality is awesome. No problems w/ assembly.

Summary: I think this guitar is a good starter guitar. if you are just starting, u wont notice anything.
