Members knucklefux Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 as some of you may know, i acquired a new guitar recently. after many requests, demands, and death threats, i have finally succumbed to the pressure and present said new guitar forthwith. ESP NT7, bitches i was immediately displeased with the stock EMGs, so i installed a set of BKP aftermaths. they sounded great. after deciding to sell my LTD MH-417, i figured it would be a good idea to see if i liked the warpigs that were in it better in the ESP than i liked the aftermaths. the answer was a resounding YES. warpigs {censored} all over every other pickup i've tried, period. looking at the EQ, you wouldn't think that would be the case. it is. so, i present you with my BKP warpig loaded ESP NT7. (please excuse {censored}ty cell phone pics. our camera took a dump, and my phone has a higher resolution than it did anyway) and for any of you that are bouncing around the idea of a 1000 series LTD being "close enough" to an ESP, you're wrong. save a little more and get a FAR superior instrument. that is all.

Members HumanFuseBen Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 oh {censored}! nice dude. i love the hell out of my Aftermaths. How do the Warpigs sound by comparison? Seems like with that much output they would be really dark, which i wouldn't think would jive with a 7 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knucklefux Posted August 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 not dark at all...i think that the super high output makes them act almost like a boost. the EQ curve is decidedly bass heavy according the the BKP website, but to me they're very balanced and clear. there is a little more low end with them, but it's not as dominant as you would think. the aftermaths kinda had a honky thing going on in the mids comparatively, but i was totally happy with them until i tried the warpigs.

Members draelyc Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I've always loved ESP's Horizon body style. Never gave much of a thought to seven stringers, but an axe like that might just win me over. Noice score, bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knucklefux Posted August 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 It really is amazing. My only gripe is ESP's sycophantic use of EMGs...ordinarily it's not an issue, but because 7 string EMGs aren't shaped like passives, it's an ugly swap.

Members knucklefux Posted August 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 {censored}, me either. the only reason i was able to pick this up is because i work for an ESP dealer, and i got it for a little more than cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greg apocalypse Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'd say that's a pretty cool guitar, if I were asked my opinion. The kind of cool I'm talking is like Arnold Shwarzenegger in Predator or Rambo cool. Just bad {censored}in' ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tech21man Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 Define LTD differences vs the ESP version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knucklefux Posted August 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 The ESP is just a higher caliber instrument. Fit, finish, playability, and tone are all superior. FRPC played both my LTD and ESP, he came away with the same opinion. The difference in price is most definitely justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FastRedPonyCar Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 yeah.. totally different echelon of build quality, fretwork, tone quality, comfort of neck, etc. Just everything was better in every way. Worth the extra price tag vs the LTD IMO if you're looking for a solid reliable stage guitar or something that will simply be a main axe for a real working musician. The LTD, while certainly not bad at all, I would say would be a solid beater for backup duty in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
