One of the sickest guitar ESP/LTD has put out in a while alongside Alex Wade's sig 3.0. The stealthy, sleek look is so sick with the M body.

@krisania96 3 года назад

i had the first version aw-7, but i sold it and bought an ibanez instead. though this one....this is something i deffo need.

@MidnightMark12 3 года назад

What is the fit and finish like? I have a custom Hanneman and an M-1. I ordered an MH1000, and the legendary Jakarta luthiers left the frets unseated, the fretboard was scorched in the kiln and felt dry enough to crack, and the side of the fretboard felt like a steak knife. The finish was bled into the binding on the neck and headstock, and it didn't feel like my mahogany body Jacksons - not even remotely close. ESP touts them as tour-grade, and this was a Cracker Jack box toy. I cancelled my M-HT Arctic order after 30 disappointing seconds with that MH1000.

@Metalbass10000 4 года назад

One of the guitarists in a band I was in about two to three years ago had Black Winters installed on his two main guitars, a Jackson King V and an Ibanez S series. He played primarily through a Peavey XXX, and even though it might seem like a shredder's rig, he basically was a rhythm guitarist, and had exceptionally good metal guitar tone.

@GuitarsAndSynths 4 года назад

I just wish they made better necks. I prefer the feel of thinner flatter necks like Ibanez and Jackson.

@thedudeofficial69 4 года назад

@@GuitarsAndSynths Out of experience, my LTD necks have been quite thinner than the Jackson Soloist necks. The lower end Jackson SLAT models have stupid thin necks though.

@AkiraSpectrum 4 года назад

great review and sweet guitar! One thing to note, the 'blackened' Duncan Black Winter not only has a 'blacked out' SD logo but they ALSO use hex pole pieces instead of the regular screw/slug combination; so theoretically there is an actual tone (albeit small) tone difference due to the pole piece change.

@LacksCleverUsername 4 года назад

Another great review! Thought I'd note, The Blackened Black Winter does have different pole pieces than a standard Black Winter. It uses Black hex Poles ( similar to Full Shred, Alpha/Omega) instead of flat head screws and slugs. This changes the tone quite a bit. I prefer the Blackened over the standard in the 6 string versions I tried.

@12breacher82 4 года назад

Killer review and tune! Those Blacked out LTDs are solid. I have several magnet variations of the SD BW, but the one in these guitars with the hex poles sounds excellent. One of the guys in Krypts plays one, and they have perfect death doom tone. And excellent brewery choice.

@AkiraSpectrum 4 года назад

Nice! Yes, the 'blackened' black winters are not just blacked-out for their logo but also feature different pole pieces (hex). I'd be curious to see a tone comparison between the two to see how big the tonal differences are between them. Theoretically the pole pieces will alter the tone slightly, but I'm curious to see how much of a difference it is.

@espltd978 2 года назад

@@Defekcija there's locking knobs on the back of each tuning key. So they do a great job of staying in tune, AFTER you get passed that initial period of breaking in a new set of strings. I hope this helps you and you pick one up for yourself!! 🤘😈🤘 (Edit) I forgot to mention, the longest I've played this guitar was about 7 and half, almost 8 hours. It started off as a practice session, and after an hour, turned into a riff I couldn't stop playing, then inspiration took over. You know how that goes!! But it managed to stay in tune quite well.

So it’s actually called a “Baritone”? Like that’s actually part of the name? Cuz every other time I’ve seen a “baritone” guitar it was like the Ibanez MMM1, which is a 6 string but tuned to B Standard. Or the Schecter C-VI which is also a 6 string, but tuned an entire octave down to E1 (I’m not sure why it exists to be honest but it does). But this is just a 7 string in B Standard...that’s just normal tuning for a 7 string (I know you have it in Bb, but that was just your choice, like how most people have their guitars one or two half steps down from standard for some reason). So I’m just confused about that. But otherwise it does sound sick.
