OK, this has to be the easiest to play guitar I have ever tried. The action is sooo nice. Before I got this guitar I had a Cort Les Paul copy, hard to play all that fun stuff that comes with a cheap guitar. Well I couldn’t believe how much faster and how much better the ESP sounded. Like I’m sure most of you know it has the EMG 81 neck and bridge pickups on it, which are by far the best pickups made. As for the Floyd Rose trem, it is so impressive, you can just lean on the thing and then let it back out and it will stay in tune for ya, it’s impressive. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can never get the stupid thing in tune, the trem just keeps moving up and down, I’m not sure why I have a problem with this when like no one else I know does. It would have been nice if they would have made it a neck through like Hammett’s real guitar, but I guess they didn’t feel like it, and it doesn’t really make that much of a difference.

Not really sure how to explain the sound, I just know I like it.

Definitely a well-built guitar. It’s very solid and it can take a small fall, which I found out unfortunately (not really a fan of dropin’ the ole guitar.) I have experienced no problems with any of the electrical or any other part of the guitar. As far as I’m concerned it is definitely worth the money.
