Members em07189 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think That ESP LTD EC1000 are made in Korea, right?. Are they good quality guitars?, playability and neck are better than a les paul ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psychotronic Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think That ESP LTD EC1000 are made in Korea, right?.Are they good quality guitars?, playability and neck are better than a les paul ? LTD are indeed made in Korea. They're decent for the price, but you should not expect the same tone and overall quality that you'd get from a good Gibson. Playability is subjective, so what you may find difficult to play on may be easy for me, etc. As far as the neck being "better"? Again, mostly subjective. I personally don't think there's a Korean-made guitar that can touch any good Gibson. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Detonator Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 This post makes no sense. Every question is highly subjective, and there are about 4000 LP clones out there, any of which could be brought up as an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get the LTD series unless you are on a budget. Go for a real ESP Eclipse (made in Japan). Its basically a shred/metal-enabled LP. Don't let that fool you though, you can play anything from rock to blues on it as well (as long as you don't have it loaded with those awful EMG's).

Members thefyn Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Why would you need an alternative ???????? I can understand...I am no {censored}, but recording/sitting down all day with a Les Paul left me with a dent in my rib! I have played gigs where jumping around on stage etc, my leather strap gives me whelts on my neck where it has rubbed. I like recording solos etc with the SG because it sits easier, is lighter and still sounds heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bucketmaster Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 In terms of value for money, a good Fernandes Ravelle or Ibanez SZ cover the same ground as a Les Paul for much less money. If you want something expensive and desirable like a Gibson, then the PRS Singlecut would be the obvious option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sardocasm Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well, the guitarist of Judas Priest used SG's time to time and that wasn't exactly blues rock...Basically, the SG is great for hard rock music. That's my style and it works fantastically. You can make just about any guitar work for any style if you want to. The SG is made for rock, though.

Mine only cost $580 shipped NEW> A USA Gibson SG. Can't beat it. I would also recomend the new My rock band broke up so I don't need mine now. But it is still the first thing I pick up for great solo tone. This is another AMAZING deal:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Les-Paul-Melody-Maker-Electric-Guitar?sku=512640 Seems perfect for this thread. I would go for the dual humbucker option for $40 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
