    I bought this guitar 2 years ago now and it is great! Love the xtra jumbo frets and ease of play. Very versatile. I did change the pickups to EMG 81x85x to get a more passive sound but that varies on your preference and play style.

    A solid easy to play guitar that sounds excellent. The craftsmanship is best in class. Not a single issue on the paint, neck heel, machined parts. Stays in perfect tune. Beautiful to look at. The ESP thin U is similar to a Fender C but with a beautiful satin finish. It's effortless to move around the fretboard. I don't like thin flat wide necks ala Ibanez wizzard. This is enough neck in the hands that it isn't uncomfortable for me. The frets are huge which I love. String bends are easy and fretting bar chords is not an issue. upgraded the pups to different EMGs but that's just personal preference. One of my favorite guitars and the one I pick up when I want to play metal. It's a beast and worth every penny.

    This axe is INSANE. The playability is better than any other guitar I've ever picked up. I was leaning toward a Les Paul, but after doing my research, I concluded that Gibson's quality has been declining over the years. Never thought I'd own an ESP but I have zero regrets. The craftsmanship is that of a vintage Les Paul, and coupled with EMG pickups, it makes this one a no-brainer for shredheads. Well worth the price. Locking tuners allows for a very clean look. This one has made me a huge ESP fan. I just can't believe it's taken this long for me to discover this guitar. 1,000,00/1,000,000

  • Loving it:)

    Amazing... I waited about 5 months to get, was on backorder. Guitar Center kept me updated via email and phone calls assuring me all was well with order. Appreciate their professionalism. Gorgeous guitar. The flat black and chrome look so tough and mean. She's a muscle car. Looks and Growls. Blown away by the craftsmanship, worth the wait.
