ESP LTD F50 Electric Guitar
Bolt-on Maple neck. Humbuckers.
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.
