ESP LTD SN-1000FR Electric Guitar Snow White

I got this a few months back and it has quickly become a favorite. I had to do a set up and change the strings because the b string had that dreaded muted buzz that make people return a guitar. However after a set up and string change it was fixed. I watched a video of a simialer ltd with this same problem and the guy gave up after the shop couldn't fix it. I am glad and proud that I was able to. If you run into this problem try what I did. Now to the good part. This guitar has the FUNK WITHIN! I was gonna get a strat for my collection but do not have to as this pretty much covers that. The 4th position has that phased out funk like no other. The neck pick up let's you lay those slapping single note funk lines with ease. The bridge soars and let's the leads and squeals fly on another level. Pull up to the single coil and the funk quack is undeniable. I bought this to shred and was led in another direction even though the bridge does all that. However the other pickups fall short of the shred for me, but they make up in that they are like a strat but better. I am still on the hunt for my main shred axe. This may have fell short of what I bought but for but it opened up a whole other can of worms and I absolutely love it. If you are looking for that super strat that covers shred to funk grab this baby up you will not be disappointed!

I play just about every style there is as a music teacher, I have to say that this is a workhorse of a guitar, it's as solid as they get compared to the original that everyone tries to copy. The electronics were the first thing that blew me away, never heard such tonal versatility on a Strat until trying these Fishman pickups, you get the classic sounds without any massive volume dips like some other pickup brands tend to get in the 2 3 and 4 positions. the Bridge pickup in active is bright and articulate without feeling TOO compressed, however when thrown into the passive voicing the dynamic range of the pickup is amazing, I almost want to modify mine to have that toggled on an independent switch for leads, albeit, out of the box it had a great setup, the Floyd rose 1500, stainless frets, scalloping on the 17-24 matches my KH3, so it's pretty much the Super Strat pair to go with my Super LP from the KH3. Fretboard felt a little sharp on the corners like it was right off the CNC, so I decided to round em off on the bass side of the fingerboard, and LTD's output jacks are always going out due to the weather in my city, so I replaced it quickly like I do with 90% of my guitars.
