I love the Mark Tremonti pickups in there. Strong and powerful, I have no problem playing any Arch Enemy - Velvet Revolver songs as this guitar is pretty versatile. I can roll back my tone for some nice jazz. My testing is always very simple. I plugged my gutar through a Digitech "The Weapon" to a 15 Watt Marshall amp. The bridge pickup is crunchy and powerful. The neck pickup has a very nice warm tone. I knew what I wanted when I submitted my order to ESP so the guitar is pretty much like a prototype to me. Cool!!

Do you believe when I say this guitar is as good as the ESP Custom Shop? ESP has a reputation which is built over the last 3 decades and ESP certainly delivers it. No doubt about it

Yes, this guitar sure lasts a long while if you take good care of it. It's our responsibility. As I had mentioned earlier, this monster is solid built, so there's no 2 way about. I certainly trust my guitar to outlast and to perform.

I have spoken to ESP Japan alot of times. Always a helpful reply within 48 hours or sometimes even a couple of hours. I have faced a some minor problems in the past but my ESP dealer would solve in a short time, i have came to rely on them. They are really kind.
Overall Rating

I realise I have this selfish nature. I will not play guitars other than the ones made by ESP. I have pledge my allegiance and loyalty to them. I have been playing for 11 years and I sold off all my other brands of guitars because I dont have a satisfaction in playing them. I did not compare to other guitars prior my purchase because I knew what I want. I submitted my order and ESP would do another miracle. Though I have restrictions on the things I can do and dont since it is not a ESP Custom Shop, I am fine with it. I LOVE ESP, I USE ESP!!
