This excellent huge V-shaped guitar is made by the great people at ESP and it's a '99. I think it's USA made but I'm not really sure. It has 24 extra jumbo frets, it's a bolt-on neck in Maple with Rosewood fingerboard. The body is beautiful black mahogany. The inlays are great-looking arrowheads. The binding on the neck/fingerboard has a nice white stripe from body to headstock, real nice. One volume, one tone pot (you really don't need any more), a 3-way switch. The original pick-ups were two EMG HZs (passive) but I switched to EMG 85/81. The bridge is a Floyd Rose Licensed tremolo. The locking tuners were great, they never go out of tune but it was kind of a drag to find a case cuz this V is HUGE...

Sound : 10
I only play metal. All kinds from Death to power to speed and this guitar is shredding GOOD!!! The new pickups made a huge different even though the stock ones were great. I play it with a Boss Metalzone and a Boss ME-30.I now have the best CLEAN sound there is and the distortion is so loud you have to turn it down! That's a first!!! The sound is kind of bright and the palm-muting sound just shakes your ribs. You can get real bassy too with the 85. Variety?? Lots! But you really just wanna turn everything way up anyway and just WAKE THE DEAD.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The Guitar was top-notch right out of the box, and the guys in the store even helped me to tune it down to D for me so I didn't have to fix the action and stuff at home.

Reliability/Durability : 10
i would use it without a backup!!! This guitar, as every Esp, is or at least looks indestructable. I have played on it for about half a year and nothing has ever gone wrong...

Customer Support : 10
LIFE TIME WARRANTY!! PERIOD!

Overall Rating : 9
I've been playing for around 3 years, I play at home with a f-cking bad practice amp (15 watts) and this guitar still sound amazing. At the gigs, my sound stuns the audience and it's looks kills as well. I would get another one if stolen bla bla bla or maybe a B.C. Rich...
BUY THIS GUITAR! THROW AWAY YOUR WEAK-SOUNDING FENDER AND GO SHREDDIN' WITH ESP!
