Members Chrisjd Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 Finally got my FIRST REAL JAPANESE ESP yesterday, it is awesome... I have never seen an ebony board that looks this good, this thing is perfect. This IS the best guitar I have played. I dont want to say it smokes high end LTDs, but it IS nicer and sounds very alive. The Body is alder and the board is ebony, so i yanked the emg 81 and threw an 85 in the bridge. Since all there is is a single volume control, the signal is extremely hot, i had to turn the gain down on my amp for sure. The tone is extremely snappy and aggressive. it is balanced but with a sharp and crisp attack. when i strum open chords i hear everything ring out, all the notes sound very sweet and popping, lots of texture to each note. Powerchords have a "swirling" effect it seems, i will pull a chord and the notes blend but remains clear and have a "awwwwwwww" tone, very cool. right outa the box.. Out comes the 81, in goes the 85 all done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 I've always wanted an ESP Superstrat style guitar, but I've never had a practical use for one. I might get one if I ever find it necessary, but at the moment, my Tele is getting all the lovin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 Sweet Guitar! I love the fact that it's a neck thru and there is no finish on the back of the neck.I removed the finish from the back of the neck on the Kramer Stagemaster that's in my avatar.
