Okay so you"re a Metallica fan that's why you're buying this,obviously.
You want to play their music.
Well this guitar totally captures virtually everything they have ever done (Minus some of the few songs James played on a Strat type).
Especially their early stuff.
You do have to tweak the tone settings on your amp of course, but this sounds perfectly like them. Actually it has James Hetfield's pick ups in it, the same ones he uses.
It plays really nice too. My hands struggle with Les Paul type necks but this I can play easily, and its fast too.
I think I am playing faster and cleaner on this than any other guitar I've ever owned and I've owned a few nice ones and some crappy ones too.
I was really torn between this and the Snakebite but I only had one tax return so this won. James plays that type more often it seems, so that it would theoretically be better if you wanted to cover their music often, but because this is less easily associated with Metallica other people just think you have a really cool looking guitar until you tell them what it is and then everybody just thinks that it is the coolest thing in the world.
So ya that's what I think.
Second,
I would never purchase this guitar from Amazon I can’t get normal stuff from them undismayed half of the time I would never trust them with the delivery of such a gorgeous piece of artwork, if your going to purchase this guitar order it from a place like Sweetwater if you message them they will cut you a better deal, send it free with insured delivery, and it will be be inspected, cleaned and set up to play before they ship it but I would definitely recommend this guitar! Just not from Amazon.
The fit and finish of this guitar is very good. You can really bang on this thing and it will stay in tune. It is built like a tank. The set neck is super smooth and, although its painted, it does not slow down after playing it hard. It weights around 8.3 pounds so its lighter than a Les Paul but fatter than a strat. ESP had this guitar made at the World Musical Instruments Company in Korea. With this build quality you would think it was made in Japan or the U.S. The build quality is really that good. I've just had it for two days so I'll check back here in a while and give an update on it. So far I am very impressed.
If you are interested in buying one of these go to youtube and check out a few reviews on this model. Some decent info there.
