ESP LTD EC-401QM Electric Guitar See-Thru Black Cherry Sunburst

I ordered this guitar and shortly after received an email saying that a new in the box ,was not avaiiable, would i consider an open box non factory sealed guitar. i agreed and shortly received it . upon opening I noticed that it was obviously a demo the fret board showed signs of been played,the strings were worn and dirty,but still paid for factory sealed.all that being said. I sent out for profesional set up and cleanig. after receiving it back was extremely impressed ,fantastic axe blows my gibson lp apart

Excellent guitar, smooth and fast to play, holds the tune and the EMG pickups are more than excellent, the paint is perfect and all the details are high quality

I got this guitar for $899 I don't understand why the price went up. Overall a great guitar that I can use for rhythm or lead because of how well it stays in tune. It also has no problem tuning down, I have had it down to Drop B with zero problems. One slight problem was the fret work, frets were a little sharp at first but after some sanding and polishing they are nice and smooth.

This is a great guitar for anyone looking for a 6 string with no intentions of modding. The EMGs are great, bridge punchy, neck great for clean tones. Came with a battery for the pickups. Tuners are great, not locking but keep a tune very well. Nut is suprisingly good, also holds a tune and smooth tuning experience. Bridge is great, basically your standard les paul style bridge. Frets came in decent condition, no sharp edges, but did need a bit of polishing, definitely could hear a bit or scratching when recording. Pickup selector is pretty standard, fair amount of tension on the switch. Knobs and pots are terrific, no split coil so they dont pull out. Neck is pretty thick but you get used to it pretty quick. Guitar is great for pretty much everything. I play in drop c and found that 11s and 12s are fine even for the shorter scale length. Finish is absolutely amazing, even better in person than the pictures. Only knock i really have on it is that the back of the neck and the body were pretty dirty, but no scratches or anything.

Looks awesome.. open box item from Musicians Friend. Great set up right out of the box! Love the active EMG, lots of bite. Neck and frets are perfect. As for Recording, stays in tune mostly.. Intonation is spot on. I run the DI from this guitar and process with Neural DSP Amp Sim and it sounds amazing. Very happy with this guitar and I would definitely buy another.

My first foray into a "serious" guitar. Love the strong active pickups. The satin finish is perfect. Determined ,that while they look beautiful, I do not like playing guitars with a gloss finish. It is wonderfully light. Yet, it does not feel cheap. It has me looking other guitars ESP has. Could not be happier.
