The H-1001FR, available in See-Through Black Cherry over quilted maple, includes a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo. The thin U-shaped neck with 24 extra jumbo frets provides comfort and speed. An EMG 81 pickup at the bridge and an 85 at the neck provide plenty of power and note definition. Grover tuners and a string-thru-body bridge keep you tuned and intonated, so you’ll sound your best. Volume, tone and a 3-way toggle give you options with simplicity. Black hardware, offset abalone block inlays and white with abalone purfling finish off a great look. [Click here for more info!]

===========

ESP is a Japanese company that is manufacturing guitars since 1976. The company is one of the biggest producers of artist signature models. ESP Guitars are most popular in rock and metal and used by major artists from all over the world. All ESP guitars are branded as ESP, LTD or Xtone.

ESP Guitars are built in Japan using premium woods and hardware and considered to be top of the line compared to the LTD and Xtone models. The LTD ESP guitars represent high quality products with an affordable price. Both the LTD and Xtone models of ESP Guitars are manufactured in Korea or Indonesia and represent the lower end models.

About ESP Guitars

1975
The first dedicated store for providing custom parts to hot-rod guitars opens in Tokyo. The shop is called Electric Sound Products, or ESP.

1976-1982
ESP gains attention as a reputable provider of high-quality replacement parts. ESP also begins crafting the first complete guitars under the ESP and Navigator brand names for the Japan market.

1983
ESP replacement parts for electric guitars and basses are introduced to the US market.

Present
The ESP and LTD-brand signature models include custom guitars played by James Hetfield of Metallica, Stephen Carpenter of Deftones, Jeff Hanneman of Slayer, Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, Wayne Static of Static X and many others.

Feature:
The features and pretty simple but they’re some of the best quality you can get. Sperzel lockin’ tuners Tonepro’s bridge are great, makes string changing breeze. You love the tone pros bridge. 2 vol. knobs 1 tone. gives plenty of different sounds. Dual Humbucker set up. The ability to control the sound of each pickup individually is the most important feature that this guitar possesses. It allows you to pinpoint the exact sound and tone that you want out of the guitar. More features!

Quality:
This guitar came to be almost perfect. Everything was great expected the G string was too short so 30 minutes into playing it, the string liked shot out of it. It didn’t snap it just like shot out of the tailpiece. I tried putting it back in but it was too short.

Sound:
The EMG’s really making this thing sing! About this can not say enough good things about this axe. If you play rock, your search is over.

Value:
This guitar is worth it looks better than a Gibson sounds better easier to use. This price is just outrage sly inexpensive. Check latest price!

Ease of Use:
Not much to say here, it’s pretty much as simple as this: pick it up, adjust the volume, and play.

Desirability:
Mine’s see-through-cherry, and very stunning. At first I hated the Abalone, but in time I’ve really started liking it on this guitar. Normally I’d say it made it look gaudy, but I dig the prisim effect the Abalone gives off in certain light.

Overall:
One of the best investments ever you made. You wouldn’t give this guitar a perfect score if you didn’t mean it. This guitar is one of ESP’s finest, rights up there with the Eclipse. Great looks, deadly tone, and a reasonable price, you can’t go wrong.

The Viper-407 takes ESP’s hugely-popular double-cutaway model and makes it available in a 7-string version. The mahogany-bodied guitar offers an Earvana compensated nut as standard equipment, as well as white binding on the black satin neck and headstock..

Feature:
For a mahogany body, this guitar is fairly light. It is very easy to play. This is a comfortable guitar. The only thing is when you play with a strap on it the first fret are a little far away compared to other guitars.

Quality:
Would have liked it to be a string-through body, but it does fine for the heavy playing that you like to do. Just be careful with it, the paint on the body easily comes off if rubbed up against a hard surface.

Sound:
This guitar works better with heavy distortion, just playing off of the amp doesn’t sound very well. Recommended to you a heavy metal distortion pedal. The guitar was mainly designed for lows and rhythm playing techniques, if you are a lead guitarist, the lower strings will easily drown you out.

Value:
Great price for the guitar, from a dealer for $750. Its a really good value, it came brand new with a lot (really a lot) of protections in the box to prevent scratch. Its the best 7 string you could get without paying 2000 bucks. Check Latest Price.

Easy of Use:
Easy to use, not really hard to go from a 6 strings guitar to this 7 strings. Easy to play with higher frets.

With its “reverse” headstock and dual ESP LH humbuckers, the M100 delivers a broad tone with searing highs. ESP carefully designs and builds all of their instruments with painstaking selection of materials, components and innovative designs so that each model has its own unique personality. The M100 features an Agathis body with a flamed Maple top, a Maple neck with a Rosewood fretboard and 24 extra jumbo frets. It also provides a Floyd Rose licensed locking tremolo and all black hardware.

Feature:
The guitar came with a Floyd Rose and a few Allen wrenches for the tremolo unit. The unit is good, but the locking nut at the top of the neck pinches the low E string, sharpening it and causing a bit of tuning instability. Also, the saddle for the D string is beginning to give out. It won’t hold the D very tightly anymore, and just a slight use of the tremolo makes it go out of tune. The tremolo was set under the bridge. The pickups were great it came with a cables and also some stuff for the Floyd rose bridge.

Quality:
Quality is outstanding for the price. It’s pretty solidly built. Except for the frets. They jut out of the fret board just enough so that it scratches your hand as you move up the frets. Also, it’s jutted out enough the problem with the high e getting stuck under one of the frets from time to time. It is very durable and beautiful.

Sound:
It has a classic dual humbucker esp tone. It can shred or jam whichever you prefer. When connected to a good amp, especially a tube one, you can get a rich flavor of sounds. The Floyd rose has complex mechanic, tremolo is also a nice feature on it, but once you get around all the bridge balancing and patience you can get a real rich sound for little money.

(TIP: To get your Floyd rose sounding good your going to have to open the back panel and adjust the springs (after tuning)to balance the bridge so that it is level or, parallel to the body so all you will see is two perfectly level parallel lines. But be sure to maintain that on the first fret area when you do a power cord you don’t hear any shaking (adjusted by the two screws that hold the Floyd rose on).)

Ease of Use:
It’s fairly easy to use. The neck is nice and thin, but not so too thin. Good for shredding and fast playing. Everything is fairly self-explanatory. This particular guitar was definitely user friendly, like they are so many guitars with thousands of buttons and knobs. Very playable, fun to use and pretty easy to handle.  Maybe you want a footswitch to improve the sound only.

Value:
Absolutely the best value. Great guitar for a beginner. This guitar is worth double than what it’s asking price is. it is a really cheap guitar for its quality. Check Latest Price.

Desirability:
It’s black, and in the right light, looks a little purple-ish because of the wood under the finis. It was an ESP and it had a Floyd Rose unit.

Maple neck would brighter her up a bit. The whole freaking guitar is dark. But it sure does play sweet with proper pickups.

Overall:
Her ears are pricked up and her tail is a wagging, tongue is a hanging out too. This guitar is worth putting more money into it, better pickups. It is a great guitar. Seem to have a better grasp of the Floyd Rose tremolo unit.

Leave is to ESP to deliver a guitar design as radical as the F50 at a price like this. They load with hot LH-100 humbuckers for a powerful sound, and provide a 24-fret neck with extra jumbo frets that make it easy to play. The string-thru-body design adds even more tone and sustain. Other features include a Maple neck, Tune-o-matic bridge and Black hardware.

Feature:
The features are very good. It didn’t come with any accessories. The only thing you really need on it is a whammy bar. It is awesome for playing rhythm. Has a three-way switch, tone and volume control knobs to get the sound you really want. Doesn’t have anything useless. Wish it had a whammy bar tho. 24 extra jumbo frets and a very unique look, otherwise pretty straight forward on the features. Cool design but a tremolo bar would of been handy.

With a tone and pickup selector on the guitar, many different sounds are available, the light weight allows the guitar to be played for long periods with ease, and the 24 frets allow for more notes than many other guitars. 3-way switch, tone, and volume standard could have an equalizer (2 or 3 knobs).

Quality:
This guitar seems to be like a rock, it is solid, and it seems to be very endurable. Would definitely use this on the road. Very well put together. Very durable, and the paint doesn’t chip off quite as easily as other guitars you have owned. Had dropped it so many times you can’t believe it still works. It barely has a dent and is impossible to scratch! The best for the price rang. The finish is beautiful and the shape is hand carved. The pickups aren’t good quality, however they do sound good. didn’t have any trouble with the tuners.

Sound:
It sounds like a Gibson. Very punchy tone and a lot of nice distortion. The sound is amazing. It has a nice clean sound when both pickups are on but it also has an amazing distorted. When distorted, or not, the guitar just sounds great. Can get a really heavy sound. Keep it in a low-c-tuning. Sounds like fug gin thunder. Can be used for mellow tones, but much more compatible with aggressive tones, sounds better live than recorded (although this may be due to my recording equipment rather than the guitar itself) Excellent for solos and backing guitar pieces alike.

Ease of Use:
This is a very playable guitar. very easy to use! a great beginner’s guitar that an expert will appreciate also! The neck is so smooth and amazing. Absolutely love it. You plug it in and go. Pick it up, the touch is really nice! great feeling neck, and start rock in. Simple as that. Figured out how to use this guitar in 5 seconds, literally. This guitar feels great, it’s so smooth. The only problem is a small point that has a tendency to jab your knee.

Value:
YES TOTALLY IT IS PERFECY FOR THE PRICE OR EVEN HIGHER. This is a very good price for this quality instrument. The total  payed was less than $169.95 – $199 at my local music store. Check Latest Price.

Desirability:
This fiddle is crazy as hell nice shape but it takes time to get used to it ltd never fails when it comes to design. The design is freaking awesome. It’s a really fast guitar to play, pick it up, and start rocking. Simple as that. The shape is just amazing. Looks very aggressive, an obvious metal guitar. Sweet looking. Heck yeah. Would recommend the F-250 (better pickups and a trmlo bridge). The red color is just beautiful. Looks great on stage. The red color is just beautiful. Looks great on stage.

Overall:
Overall it is better than average. Looks are not everything as this guitar shows. All in all this gitfiddle is really nice definitely a good deal for only $169.95 you should run out and pick it up no doubt its show worthy. It is great for all skill levels. Great guitar to grow into for beginners and a great guitar for experienced players to pick up and just play. Very satisfied with this guitar. Really sexy guitar with the features you need, great sound and of excellent quality and value. sweet, guitar, might have to switch pickups eventually, ill go with emgs.

This guitar will always satisfy you and if you do need another guitar it will ddefinetly be this one the F-250. May upgrade the pick-ups at some point, but they’re pretty darn good as is.

Feature:
Active electronics with 24 frets you can get high for crazy solos the guitar looks like a million dollars you really liked the see thru paint job. The only thing slightly disappointing about this guitar would be that it only has one tone and one volume control other than that love it especially its thin-u neck.

Quality:
The best made product. The quality in this guitar is great, build strong so it will sound like new even if it was to drop. It is a very dependable guitar because it’s made by a dependable company, esp. The finish is amazing nice slim neck easy to maneuver.

Sound:
This is a one and a million guitar. This guitar has a great sound for the money and you  really like the fact that the neck is natural w/o finish. The sounds are monstrous through a good amp. Excellent sound is clean, and also a clean sound with the distortion going, very crisp. The stock pickups are actually amazing for the price your paying for this guitar. The distortion is Metal simply put wonderful for playing “Megadeth” “Mettalica” “Soilwork” down to “Led Zeppelin”

Ease of Use:
This has to be the easiest guitar you’ve ever played out of companies such as “Jackson” “Epiphone” “Ibanez” and “Fender” the neck has amazing playability and feels as if your fingers simply glide along the string’s.

Value:
Best prices!!! To be able to get a great sounding guitar at this price, you can’t ask for more. Support is great, sound is great, slick lines on the guitar. Maybe about $ 349.00 (Canadian). Check latest price.

Desirability:
This is a sleek guitar, perfection in shape. Very sexy like freaks with chains and stuff.

Overall:
This guitar looks and sound superb. To many people would recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to have a great guitar and still hasn’t gone wrong. But they would not recommend going for the higher end models of this guitar because you can put other pickups in this for 250.00 dollars.

Feature:
This product did not come with any accessories. The guitar is made with the quilted maple top and matching headstock.  The neck is fast and amazingly smooth. nice pickups and nice sound. easy to hold. the knobs and stuff were good but the pickups aren’t too great mine broke and you should get some emgs put in it. 2 volume, 1 tone, 3-way pick-up in the arch pretty standard. The pick-ups aren’t the greatest though. Noticed that on this specific guitar, can’t get the perfect action on the low E string, but that’s just this one and the one string.

Quality:
It’s very durable. If you treat with care, it last a life time. This product is made very well. Some people are clumsy person, they have dropped this thing literally out of them hands and it stay intact, fine, perfect, they just pick it up and keep on playing. Great quality.

Sound:
It sounds pretty good its got some good strings on it when you get it too. It’s a bolt neck, so it’s short but loud and sweet. With its current factory pick-ups it’s still a decent sounding guitar. Great metal guitar, has a good squeal but doesn’t produce a lot of feedback, probably better for solos than rhythm.

A lot of people might say that you need specific brand pickups like “EMGs” and Seymour Duncans, but honestly these pickups are awesome. They sound good with hard rock and metal, but can be used for slower songs too. There better for metal and rock than other types of music, but its a very versatile guitar. Very little static. This guitar sounds great and i even have a crappy amp. you could play many different styles and its very cheap.

Value:
This guitar should be worth a lot in a long time. Great price for an awesome guitar. It’s a reliable, well made guitar. Check Latest Price.

Desirability:
Its beautiful. The color of this guitar in see thru black cherry is awesome! All the people have shown it too really like it. Most girls love the color.non-bended quilted maple top look of this guitar, you really like ESP’s contoured body styles and LTD makes quality products. Highly practical for its price (doesn’t quite beat out Dean’s prices, but that’s for a good reason). A lot of people recommend this guitar because its cheap high quality and it looks cool.

Overall:
It’s a great guitar with awesome sound and quality. This guitar is really great and you might plan on keeping it for many years. A lot of people recommend this guitar for people who like different styles.

Even though you are already looking for another guitar, it’s not to replace this one. You plan to upgrade its pick-ups for sure, and maybe install a Floyd Rose bridge and nut. You would be very disheartened should this guitar be stolen, but you have no doubts about buying it again if you could not get it back.

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.

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.

The aggressively stylish EX50 features a large, resonant body and hot ESP LH-100 humbuckers for superior tone. This is another easy to play instrument with 22 extra jumbo frets on a Rosewood fingerboard. ESP has spent years perfecting radical designs like this and now they’re able to offer them at downright unbelievable prices. Other features include an Agathis body, a rock solid tune -o- matic bridge with a stop tailpiece, and black hardware.

Feature:
Humbuckers are beautiful, a nice amp and head it sounds awsome. nice and simple the way you sure like it. The paint on the body is nice, and the black chrome hardware is awesome. They kind a sparkles when you look at it in the light.

Quality:
Quality is very good. As all ESP are supreme in quality. Though you did accidently rip your volume knob off accidently. Oh and the screw that is near the neck ripped out when yanked on your guitar. Other than that it is a great product. Again, all Ltd’s come standard with great playability, but they also come with a GREAT paint job, no chipping, rarely dents, and doesn’t show scratches much. And even though, your getting the lowest quality out of Ltd, your still getting the best for the price. And even the bottom end stuff is really great. Again for the money, it’s top of the line. ESP makes nothing crappy, all quality products.

Sound:
Very good, especially with a good amplifier like line 6 or Marshall. those are the best for this guitar. You might wanna get some emg pickups or just get some other guitar later, probably after 2 years of playing. The neck is very fast, the action is relatively low, pickups are very responsive (considering they are stock esp pickups), overall a fantastic sound. You do not see your self purchasing any guitars in the future (not unless this breaks). This guitar is a shred machine, a friend of mine (who plays a agile les Paul model) picked this up and commented on how easy it was to shred on. This guitar rocks and Metallica. in every single way. works for everything and its amazing playing your favorite songs and sounding just like the recording

Value:
There is no other guitar better than this for the price. He will fight you if you disagree!. AWSOME value for all the quality, materials, electronics, hardware, and the best playability. Its all good.

Poe nominal value, but this versus the more expensive versions, the only real difference is the wood(s) and pickups (and as far as pickups, its cheaper to buy the ones you want and have them installed than buying the more expensive model of the guitar). It was worth every penny.

Ease of Use:
This guitar sounds good on any amp, its very comfortable sitting down or standing. It has the BEST playability ever. Its so easy to use and you sounds absolutely amazing. One of the fastest necks ever. Regardless of a bolt-on neck. You can shred like Kirk hammett!. Capable addapted to the shape because it proves very comfortable when doing the immense ammount of palm muting during many of my songs.

Desirability:
It’s an old explorer style. It’s hell a sexy. It gives you great pleasure. It definitely has a very strong presence. No matter how fat, ugly, or stupid you may look, with this guitar in your hands your a god. It definatly stands out hanging on the wall with my other guitars, although it may not be the most expensive.

Overall:
As long as this guitar is satisfied with it. You can’t beat the price, the look is bad ass, and this is just perfect for any metallica thrash metal fan!. Anyone who is starting to play, or just looking to get a cheap guitar to hot rod, get an Ltd. ALL AROUND AWSOME. Wonderful guitar, you can’t believe how cheap it is!!! everyone needs to add this to their collection.

Overall great starting guitar, but you will feel you need change for quality eventually. He actually currently saving up for a Jackson RR3 Pro because at a certain point u will either get new pickups or just buy a new guitar… even when i get my RR3 i can see myself playing this guitar.
