Electric Guitar Review

Two humbuckers. Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard.

The Viper’s sculpted Agathis body is extremely comfortable and big enough to ring out with full, rich, sustaining lead and rhythm sounds. Features include a Maple neck with 24 jumbo frets on a Rosewood fingerboard, tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece, and ESP LH-100 humbucking pickups. No matter what style of music you play, the Viper-50 has the tone and easy playability to keep up with you.

Feature:
Where you got it from came with a bunch of accessories, but you’ve done business with this company and there very good recommend getting products from them!!!!
When got it, the action was kinda high so he lowered it and this guitar is amazing. This guitar could be sold for about 350 easily.

Quality:
Mine has a good body and the neck is easy to maneuver on the bridges sound great clean and crisp unless distorted then you get that ripping sound that all hard rockers want!!! only down set you had was the tone knob came loose easy fix though just a tighten and it was done, do recommend new strings with it though, but outta profession with your past basses almost any new guitar needs strings right away cause we all have our own brand that sound good to US… oh and one more thought on that you love the paint job very nice!!!!

Sound:
The sound of this guitar recommend getting medium blues strings for a good over all sound between classic rock, metal, or even just every day nice guy playing. It sound of this guitar is amazing considering the price. as far as sound goes my only complaint is that the pickups are a little dull. The only thing you might want to change are the strings when you first get this guitar, their not that usable. But the guitar sounds nice through an amp. It sounds good both clean and distorted.

Ease of Use:
It is almost impossible to get to the wiring in the guitar. The back plate is on there really good, and once it’s off, it’s hard to get back on. It is a very playable guitar very easy to get the sounds you want. The advanced on this very easy, and in only 2 months of playing it gotten exceptionally better recommend this one for beginners very good starter guitar!!!

Value:
Well worth the money it costs and then some. You think it is one of the best guitars you’ve owned, and you’ve owned quite a few. Some costing 3 times what this one does…
His got mine on sale AT THE TIME!!!!! 150 dollars off of the dealer price of 299 yea dealer markup for ya! lol but yes for the price even if his did pay the 299 it would have been worth it all the way!!!!! And the others yeah…yes it is worth the 200$ to get it. Check latest price.

Desirability:
Well lets put it this way they want a badass design on mine but there are only 2 ways to get that and ones it custom air brushing and the other is the company you buy it from puts it on for you. But yes this guitar look sweet in any of the colors it comes in!!!!
Awesome look to it. ESP took the already cool SG shape and made it a whole lot cooler. The headstock has a nice look to it, too.

Overall:
This is the best guitar have ever bought for 200 bucks. Its incredible. You will have it for a long time. The only thing they don’t like about this guitar is that the neck falls towards the floor when you let go of it because one of the strap holders is on the back of the guitar, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the playing ability of this guitar.

We will always use this one cause the ease of use and the fact of the matter is that this guitar is just plain a damn good sounding and looking guitar. We recommend that if your considering this guitar GET IT!!!!! you wont be disappointed, especially for “the new guys” of music creation!!! Changing the pick ups but you have done this with every guitar they own musically. It  is a little work horse and just needs to be tweaked to personalize it to your taste. We intend to keep this guitar forever. If something happened to it, we’d buy another one, no doubt about it. We tryed out ESP and really like their stuff. Like we said, this low end ESP is better than our mid level Jackson (Rhoades std) by FAR.

The ESP LTD AX50 is an EXTREME guitar to fit your EXTREME style of music! The wild AX series body style will definitely get the audiences attention. But that’s just the start. The 0 AX5 has an agathis body, a 24-fret bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and dot inlays, black hardware, a string thru body tune-o-matic bridge, and an ESP LH-100 pickup set.

Feature:
It basically has what you need for a beginner or pro. Two humbuckers, tone and volume knobs, and the guitar comes with a good magazine so you con buy more stuff.
could do with a tremolo arm and some cool fret markers, but you can put those on yourself if you got the kaching$.

The only reason i gave this guitar a 9 is because it came with a toggle pickup switch which you normally not a fan of but that doesn’t change anything. This guitar in silver and the black hardware on this beast is sweet. Pretty sweet looking, No accessories…. but that’s okay.

Quality:
It is a nice build , a bolt-on neck, but bolted on very good. it is matte and not shiny and wall scrapes will happen and show much easier , as it is matte. The build is strong and parts do not come loose easily.

Everything seems fine here, my only complaint is that the guitar just seems too light, which makes it feel quite cheap. As far as the actual quality of the guitar is concerned though, everything seems great except the tuning machines are a little sloppy and not as smooth, however, they’ve had no tuning problems or the like. There practically steal cables.

Sound:
This guitar actually sounds really good for the price, especially with high gain using the bridge pickup. I own an esp eclipse as well, and unfortunately the eclipse just blows this thing out of the water. This guitar is definitely made for metal or hardrock. some lead work, but probably best suited to rhythm playing. But for the price, you really can’t go wrong as far as sound is concerned.

Value:
This product is ridiculously cheap for how sweet this guitar is. Great product for the price. Probably not worth $250. They own a BC.RICH warlock and i got that for $50 less. Check latest price.

Ease of Use:
The guitar has amazing playability, extremely fast neck, 25.5 scale, great fret spacing. The boy actually won an ax in a contest on the ESP website, so the boys down there did a custom setup on mine, d’addario 10-46′s, no fret buzz, low action, needless to say its perfect to play.

It is actually very comfy to play. For sitting. It has a nice rounded leg spot and for standing, its still comfy. a comfy strap would be a good idea, too. The neck is nice and relatively flat, thus making it easier to hold. So easy to use standing up.

Desirability:
There are guitars that are much better out there, but don’t get you wrong this is one great guitar!!! Everything is sexy about this guitar. And so freak cheap.

Overall:
Experience was great, especially the time it took to get here(3 days!)the price(sweet and low) and the look(absolutely amazing). It is an overall amazing guitar and the boy highly recommend it. The boy would slap a tremolo bridge on there and rock away to high heaven. The thing you like most about it is the look and playability sound is a bit weak. , really light, good for gigging, comfortable to play for the most part., The boy least would have to be that it’s too good to be true.

If you are a beginner you want this AX, if you consider yourself pro you might want to do some more shopping for a higher quality guitar. But if you want it go for it and buy it.
