I never get tired of this guys reviews. Monster playing and entertaining. I wish ESP would release an ESP custom version of this. (Not an EII.) They always release these with the thinner body and tummy cut.
Stainless steel frets are arguably the best part on any guitar when it comes to longevity as there's nothing worse than having a guitar you really connect with but the frets start to destruct especially at an early stage of use. This is an AWESOME guitar all around!
@@Yakikitsu Me personally I have not played the EC-10 so cannot speak to the quality of that guitar other then I have seen many good reviews on it on youtube so I think it will be a good guitar for you. With that being said if it was me I would save up and get the EC-256 as I currently oen 2 of them one in cherry burst and one in black and plan on getting a 3rd in white. THe EC-256 is hand down a great guitar and I would take it over any gibson or epiphone les paul any day of the week. And I own 5 Les pauls so I have done a lot of comparisons with them. ESP guitars are in my top 3 favorite guitars to own and play with Schecter and PRS being the other 2. I do have a review of my ESP EC-256 cherry burst on my channel as well if you want to go watch it. So that is my 2 cents for what it is worth. Also you can find sales on the EC-256 or a great used one at a good price on reverb as well but there are deals to be had on them check sweetwater, american music supply, and musicians friend and see what end of the year deals they are running right now because I am sure there will be some new years eve blow out sales for sure.
Any of the 1000 series by LTD is excellent value for your money. My first LTD was the '87 Eclipse NT in pearl white. Then I went with the TE1000 Black Blast. They're complete opposites in every spec, save for dual humbuckers and body outline. The feature that stands out for me is the coilsplit tones they have. Anyone who says that a coilsplit humbucker can't sound like a singlecoil, should really give these guitars a try. The '59 and Sentient SD pickups in the neck positions, are stellar all around performers that can get you a vast array of very useful tones.
Thanks for playing that Hearts Burst into Fire riff. i can really get a sense on how these sound versus the original recording. I know the tone of that song like the back of my hand so it really puts these into perspective. Thanks as always.
I had it for about 1 day and then I returned it. The one I received was not so well manufactured as other LTDs I own. The binding was about 0,7 mm thinner where it joins with body or neck. Although it's not a problem when it comes to body part, but on the neck side - it was so annoying when I played. 😞I just felt this flaw when my hand moved on the fretboard. But still, this axe looks amazing and sounds like it should sound. 🙂
Ltd’s are sweet guitars! I’ve had ec-1000’s, ec-401 and a 100 and all were nice. The full thickness ones were pretty heavy. But, that’s my only nit. I play blues on the 1000 with EMG pups.
Firepower. Funny you mention that word seeing that Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest recorded the album with his white Les Paul mainly that looked similar to that white devil of a guitar. He never used Fishmans though, just the almighty EMGs. I am getting some epic Richie and Randy (Rhoads) vibes from that guitar but it is amazing with those dynamics of voicing available through the Fishmans.
He was inspired as shit for this. How has he not been picked up by a worldwide touring band? What’s that thing he’s wearing around his right wrist? I searched for “wrist bandana” but came up empty.
Man imo it's so much better with a black headstock, I love when the whole neck is the same like this. Classic look. You could get used to it maybe. It's such a sexy looking guitar.
@@guyincognito320 it is a banger guitar. The black cherry color is dope too. Not gonna lie, I’m probably still going to get it but in the BC color. Because the headstock matches the body 😂😂😂
