ESP LTD ARROW-401 Electric Guitar Black

I have always wanted a V guitar with this setup, and this guitar is the best. It was worth every penny and I play it everyday. This guitar is amazing for any metal head and it's great for doing divebombs, squeals, and solos. Ever since I got it, I have not needed to change the strings so I'm not too experienced with restringing this guitar specifically, but I heard it is easier than any other guitar with a Floyd Rose.

I love this guitar! First of all, it feels great. The V shape makes you hold it up in a more classical position when sitting, but I've come to enjoy that. When played acoustically it has a beautiful clear tone. I have passive pickups in mine and play metal, but have a heavy sound still. One thing to keep in mind with this guitar, it is large and all over the place. The unique cut is beautiful and well done, but adds length to it. So beware of your surroundings as you are very prone to knock it against stuff, with all V's, the thin edges are prone to chipping. I wouldn't say this is a complaint but something you should accept when getting a guirar like this. It's not the kind of guitar you can get comfy with. My actual complaint would be that the Floyd Rose special isn't the best quality, but is decent enough that you are not constantly at war with it. I have had some issue with fret buzz though unfortunately.

I got my Arrow (LTD) for my birthday a while back. I got it through the mail in a free hardshell, and noticed the guitar already had plenty of dings, dents and flecks of paint missing. The low E-string was already busted, too. Changed the strings a few times and noticed that the Floyd Rose WOULD NOT hold a tune no matter how much you stretched the strings and tightened various parts. As soon as I would hit the tremolo once it'd got incredibly flat and I'd have to retune. Then, once I leaned over to adjust my pedals and the volume knob just fell off without me touching it. However, the woodworking is great and the neck design and the frets made it very easy to get around on the guitar. The EMG pickups are also a very nice addition. I don't know if this was just MY experience, but I'd still recommend a different guitar.

Great guitar!
