Members MattACaster Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 LTD M-401 Bought this guitar from Redhouse Music. Ryan(Norton666) got me a great price and was fantastic to deal with. So far it looks pretty nice. Can't tell how it plays though. The action is so high that it's unplayable. The guitar was out in the cold for a whole so we'll see what happens when it settles. Plug I'm going to drop some new strings on it tonight and have the g/f do a setup. Fret edges are a bit rough too but I think once it warms up a bit it'll all be good. Can't wait to run this through my cranked Stiletto!!! :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been working her way through all my guitars. My buddies are even having her do theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PlayboyChris Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 What, no NGD love? I won't lie. Not a fan of this acquisition. You're too good for this 2nd-tier brand. And your parts-o-caster renders this EMG-loaded beast superfluous (Floyd nonwithstanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattACaster Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thats like your 300th guitar , correct? I believe this is 24. I'll have to take a count sometime soon though just to double check... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the Stiletto LOVES EMGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Brady Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 HNGD. I'm not a fan of the ESP LTD's. I have never liked their playability. Hope the action can be sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Norton666 Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Sorry to hear about the action being so high. Normally , ESPs can come out of the box and go directly on the wall. This time of year though, a transit in a UPS truck can make all the difference. Glad you like it and I appreciate the business!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year though, a transit in a UPS truck can make all the difference. Glad you like it and I appreciate the business!! Thats what I figured. The guitar was freezing when I got my hands on it so I think once it warms up and has had a good setup it will be perfect. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtyBird Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 I like it. Action can be fixed. If your girlfriend's a tech she can just give the frets a levelling and get it down, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
