ESP F-207

Many features everything everyone esle said about it!!The skull and crossbone inlays are sweet!

I play mostly metal type stuff.This guitar is so great sounding both clean and very bassy with distortion.The pickups arent noisy at all. They are pretty good pickups but i am thinking of gettin maybe an SD distion or emg active ones.Sweet low sound with this seven string.Best sound i have heard out of any guitar i have played. There could be a little more high end with these pickups but it is still great.

It came in perfect condition. It is so sweet. The plug jack was a little loose but no biggie.

Its so solid i dont need a back up but with the floyd rose trem u alwways need backup.

IDK its pry very good

Great guitar for heavy shit and a little more versital than i thought. Great tone for most music types.Solid guitar and killer looks. ITS AWESOME

This shredder is made in korea. I bought it band new from drum city guitarland (kudos to
them) via the internet. The colour is a gorgeous metal flake dark blue. it has 7 strings xj
frets floyd rose locking tremelo, one knob for volume , emg hz pickups and nice
arrowhead inlays. i bought it with the esp fb case for extra $90 us. the body style is a very
stunning modern pointy style (BC Rich eat you heart out) and is extremely comfortable
to play. The neck is flat and fast and took a couple of days to get used to.im used to a
strat and a gibson hollowbody. the 24 frets are very acsesable although if im playing the
top four i can only use two fingers. the pickups are really good. judging from the reviews
here i was expecting less but they are surprisingly versatile. the neck humbucker is fat
and mid heavy the bridge is quite thin and twangy great for focusing massive overdrive
and the coolest is the middle position which give a fender like funk squak. magnificent
clean sound with that position. Since the features are prety basic ( no tone contols ect.) it
gets a modest rating.

Wicked!!Since i live in a small town in canada there was no way i could test out this
guitar before buying it. But i was delightfully surprise and how good it does sound. I
thought it would be suited to the heavy music and fusion i play but it also works for blues
and jazz (althought the looks are far from that of a traditional jazz box)Because of the
floyd rose trem is seriosly lacks the sustain that my hard tail strat has but hey its a
tradeoff for sweet vibato and insane dive bombs

This is where the guitar really shines. You have to look extremely close to find any flaw
in the worksmanship. the neck joint is solid along with every other fit. The only minute
flaw i found was some unsmooth(?) paint on the tip of the bottom horn. the wiring is
simple and solid.overall great. it came set up with light strings and the neck was setup
very straight. i imediatly put super light tops on and lowered the action then put some
releif in the neck to cure the buzzing. now this guitar plays like butter amd stays intune
even when i us the wammy bar.

I would definetly depend on this guitar to last a long time. playing a gig without a backup
guitar is stupid. Only time will tell if i can break stings on this guitar. if i did break one in
a live situation i would be out of tune and imediatly plugging in another guitar. exept for
problem of going out of tune if you break a string i would say this guitar is very reliable.

ESP drasticaly cut down their 7 string product line. including the F-207. I bought it from
Colerado some 4000 miles away from me. There are very few ESp dealers in canada. I
dont think anything will go wrong with this guitar that i or my luthier wouldnt be able to
figure out.

I payed alot for this guiatr and endured alot of hassle also. First ESP doesnt make them
anymore.Second there are none in canada that i could find. Three the on i first bought got
lost in the mail and it took nearly 6 months to get the insurance money. four the canadian
dollor is constantly become more worthless by the day so i pay exchange fed ex duty and
taxes. its a sweet guitar and the only one i would settle for so its woth it.

Since turning profesional 3 years ago i have been dreaming up what my ideal axe would
be. The F-207 is the start of it. Later on i will add the emg afterburner circut that is
featured on some 2001 model of ESP LTD's. Also i will add an on off button,coil tap,
midi pickup, A sustainer pickup, single coil pickup and a pieso, straplocks, planet wave
strap (so combfortable!)and then top it off with some ghost flames painted on it that will
mack my bands' uniform.

If this guitar was stolen i would hunt the theif down and impail him with it several times.
Pointy guitars arent just for looks.

Made in Korea, 2 EMG HZ, 3-way,passive,maple neck/rosewood fretboard,killer finish-I'd call mine a midnight/metallic teal

The tone I get from it is great, lot's of lows & hi's, however, this is the noisiest guitar I've ever owned, one of the noisiest I've played- this is the only dissapointment- I'll have to do something about it- I love the axe- but it has been noisy in every application so far where my other 3 guitars are quiet- including a Charvel with HOT active electronics. I'd rather have less output than more noise.

Mine came set up perfectly- very low action, but precise, no adjustment needed. I have yet to find even a microscopic flaw- it is a perfect fininsh. All hardware is also in perfect form, and perfectly installed.

This guitar feels solid, I'm pretty abusive and require a durable axe.
The finish is flawless and I expect it will withstand normal wear & tear, even excessive- but not many out there will withstand ABUSE. Standard tiny strap buttons. I'd play it without a back up if strings were indestructable. I'm comfortable with the guitar itself not breaking down, but I know I will shred strings- they don't stand a chance!! I'll still have my trusty backups.

Haven't spoken to them

I'm 31 and have played guitar & piano since 1st grade- that's 25 years. I've had many other guitars, but only 4 total now. My other fav axe is a Charvel. My fav amp for the last 5 years has been a Peavy Ultra 120(I have 2 of 'em) and 2 4x12 cabs. I've experimented with lots of effects, and right now am using a Korg Toneworks Pandora PX3, really as nitrous for the Ultra 120. It's a killer combo. This F-207 looks awesome, feels awesome, plays awesome- I'd have to get another if this one were removed from my posession. My only gripe is that it's very noisy, I intend on finding a resolution- replacing pickups?

this is an awsome guitar too bad they stopped making them. The emg pickups are great and the floyd rose is sweet too. I jam to this guitar all the time and I'm glad i bought it. the only thing I don't like is that it only has a volume and you can't change the sound a whole lot but other than that it looks sweet and sounds bad ass.

I personally play a lot of metallica deftones pantera and on occasion some stevie ray vaughan. If your wondering yes it pulls off some pretty good blues not as well as say a fender strat but still it works

I havn't found any flaws in my guitar yet.

I think it will withstand live shows. The finish is nice and should hold up. I would depend on it if i did a gig with it but as of now I havn't had a gig.

well I havn't had to call them but it has a ten year warranty I believe

I am completly satisfied with this guitar and I would buy another one if it was stolen. If you get this guitar your friends will first say wow that looks bad ass and then when you play on it if your any good they will say that it sounds bad ass too

Proceed down the screen to view details on the features. Nothing overly incredible, which explains the rating of 7. Don't get me wrong, it's got great features; there's just not the "tons of features" that give it a ten.

The pickups are some of the better ones I've heard in a seven-string guitar... they seem to feedback a little quicker than some of the pickups I've got in my other 6-stringers, but they're not bad. Lots of string buzz because of the low tuning of the 7th string. More of a full sound than a bright sound, again, because of the deep tuning. It's got quite a bit of variety -- more than you'd expect from a guitar of this price range. A little muddy on the very low palm-muted stuff, but a good amp covers for that a bit.

I bought the guitar used, so I can't comment on the action or adjustments fairly. The finish looks great, and I couldn't find any major (or even fairly minor) flaws in it. It's not as thick as I'd like; part of the clear coat and top layer of black paint chipped on a metal rung of a guitar stand at a show. This is the first time it's happened, and I've used that stand many times, so I can only assume the paint is a tad bit thinner than most of my others.

The guitar will withstand live shows -- it's shown me that already. It's an excellent drop-the-strap-and-play-it-low guitar... a great one for those jumpy songs (for the not-so-jumpy, check out my review of the Gibson Gothic Explorer). It's quite dependable, and I haven't had any serious problems with it at gigs, other than the usual string breakage (which sucks on a guitar with a Floyd-type floating bridge; it holds up better than a Kahler, but you're still screwed if one breaks... completely out of tune). You NEVER play a show without a backup guitar. EVER.

Never.

I've been playing for several years, and own quite a few other pieces of equipment (too much to reasonably list here, anyway). The basis behind the rig, however, is guitar -> ART Xtreme distortion -> Randall heads, Marshall/Peavey cabs. The ported Peavey cabs (no longer in production; they're about four and a half feet tall and 140 pounds, literally) allow the speakers to "breathe" when muting the low 7th string notes. I played the guitar thoroughly before purchase, so I can't say I'm disappointed with anything. I could care less for the huge inlay, but that's purely cosmetic. It's a great choice if you're looking for an entry-level 7-string that will cut above most of the Ibanez lineup (read: ALL the Ibanez lineup) for anywhere near the price. It's the only guitar that I have -- and this will sound bad -- that I don't feel bad jumping around on stage and otherwise beating the hell out of. Not because it's a sucky guitar, but because it weighs the perfect weight and is the seemingly perfect size for the task. I'm not concerned about it breaking, and I've got straplocks on it to avoid the inevitable. Weight is a major factor in a guitar purchase, and this one is a featherweight. If you think it's heavy, grab an Acrylic Warlock and play it for a set, and I can personally guarantee you'll be hurting by the end unless you stand perfectly still.


Oh yeah, and if it were stolen, I'd get my money from the insurance company, buy another, and wish the culprit farewell.

Made in 2000, in Korea. Features 24 frets, solid top, 3-way toggle switch, and two EMG-HZ707 humbuckers. Althought these aren't the active ones, they do have a great sound to them. It only has one volume knob though, so you don't have much of variety with sound, but it suits my heavy needs. The body is made of basswood, and the neck is made of maple. The neck has a great smooth feel to it, much like all expensive ESP guitars. It has a really Gothic style to it. It comes with a locking Floyd Rose trem. It also features arrow-head inlays on the rosewood fretboard. It comes with a hardshell case too.
It also features a sculpted heel that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand to efforlessly hit the very last fret, even on the A string, or E string if you have killer dexterity.

Like I said before, it suits my style very well. I play in a band but we don't play for crowds yet. It a fairly quiet guitar, but it could be better. You will have to do some adjusting with your EQ though. It has a really fat sound, but if you were to put in the active EMG707s it would sound bad ass.

This guitar was setup great extremely low action, perfectly macthing the neck for fast as hell playing. It didn't contain any flaws.

Yes, I believe this guitar can definatly handle live playing.
The hardware is great, and will last. The finish is good too. The strap buttons are okay, but always add strap-locks, because you never know what might happen. I still probably wouldn't use it without a back up though, becuase, changing the strings on a Floyd Rose is a Bitch.

Haven't spoken to them.

Overall this guitar is a great investment, but I'm not going to bash Ibanez or B.C. Rich, because I've played those too, and they are just like this guitar. If it were stolen, I would try to get this agian, or see if I could get it in a hardtail. I've been playing for about 2 years, and I really choose this one, because it looks cool as hell, and it has EMG pickups in it. But it beats the hell out of my Strat.

Great design and pickups that give killer tone. Heavy as hell. Good floyd rose.

This thing is great. Slightly noisy through the gainiac but I also have it next to tons of electronics and you'd expect noise. Besides I have hush rack that cleans it up nicely. after running it through the gainiac and an aural exciter this thing makes that heavy sound cut like a knife. The Hz pickups are great.

Definetaly plays a little better than my schecter and it feels good. Like the other submission said the paint is badass compared to the website pic. Mine is super dark blue and it looks so cool.

I have no problem with it. Stays in tune very well and I think it's a quality piece.

n/a

I really like this guitar. Its comfortable and looks great. I would definately want another one if something happened to it.

I think this is the best guitar in the world that i have seen yet. i got it for about 569 and it is well worth the money. it has not a touch of anything wrong with it- it is perfect. i definately recommend this guitar especially if you are a heavy metal kid. its got a floyd rose tremelo and emg pickups.

It totally fits heavy metal. this thing is gothic. its prettty noisu since u can hear everything with the pickups it has. its got a huge sound. i like verything aobut it.

The finish is what i like about it best. its got an amazing design and i really think esp did a great job w/ this one! its definately a guitar you can tell will last a lifetime.

this guitar is great for live playing. it will last a lifetime. everyhting is solid and i can totally depend on it w/ out thinking about a backup

i havent dealt w/ customer support yet- seems pretty solid though i have there number and all. sooo ya. i got it repaired oncce but that was because i damaged it by mistake it wont happen though. i think the warranty is like 5 years.

I love this guitar- i would definately buy it again if it were stolen, and im sure it could get easily stolen since it is such an amazing guitar. ITS GREAT! BUY IT TODAY!!

This is the 200 model of the 7-string F-207, not sure of where it was made. It comes with a 24 fret rosewood fingerboard on a mable neck. Made of basswood the body seems rather light but so far hasn't dented. It oly comes with a 3-way selector for the two emg hz-707 pick-ups and a single knob for volume control. This is one wicked looking guitar with it's "broken glass" style and the dark metallic purple finish (the pictures on ESP's website does no justice). A floyd rose trem system and black hardware round out this axe

I play a mix of Alternitive and metal with a hint of punk. This guitar really suits this style and I think that It would be good for blues with the deep lows from the neck humbucker. The pick-ups are passive and would definatly be better active, but I still can't complain. I've heard people say that the are loud, and must say that I think they are the quites pick-ups I've played with. I do pick up a lot of noise when I'm near my computer monitor but I just move a couple of feet away and it disapears.

The action on this thing is unbelievable. It begs for you to rip into it then asks for more. And the finish is awsome. One of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. Quality craftsmanship as well, the inlays on the neck are well setted and seem to really flow with the neck. All that comes to mind is WOW!

I've had it for about a mounth now and it has been banged a few times, but you can't tell. Like I said It seems solid and I would use it with-out a back-up (already have).

Haven't delt with ESP yet but the fact that there is a life-time warrenty on the thing make you feel a little warm inside.

I've been playing for about six years on many differnt axes from fender to ibanez, and this is the best "stock" guitar yet. If it were stolen I would break the arms of that person...yes I would buy another. If it came with active picp-ups it would be the cat's ass, but that's the only real thing that I can say... This is a great guitar.
