The ESP Guitar Company

The man just bought a new guitar, he doesn't want to hear about what you think he should get instead. Answer his fucking question or don't say anything at all.

But no Duffy, that certainly is a fake top. But who cares as long as it looks good?

I got both the EC fifty and the H one zero one fm.

They are both great for me. The EC is heavy but sounds deep and strong. The H is very much lighter and is really neat with the new headstock and flamed maple veneer it looks cool. The H plays really well and fits my hand so the chords just fall right into place with little work. Both of them have the type necks I like, not like base ball bats.

The H plays great and I use it a lot because it is light and sounds great with the sustain being a little better with the string through, seemingly. It has a lighter, lilting type of a sound to some extent.

I bought a Digitech RP three fifty today. This is a serious item. It produces some great tones and has a great drum selection. I have only played it through the clean channel of my new Crate Flextone fifteen R with a twelve inch speaker. It is quiet and just one evening of playing already set up sounds I have been able to produce some very pleasing sounds. I like the wah pedal a lot and it is also a volume pedal and does other things to some of the other effects.

It is mostly a mystery to me at this point and I'm just drifting accross the surface of the thing. It has quite a bit of depth that I need to figure out how to get into. The manual is minimal for information. There is probably a club or discussion forum that focuses just on it and it's similar products.

I really like those two inexpensive LTD's. I just got a Fender Highway one and should play it more but I like the beautiful look of the LTD's; a really unusually nice tobacco sunburst EC and a really nice looking amber sunburst H. I'm selling some of my cheaper guitars that are really nice even though they were cheap. I'm also selling off some of my pedals and at least one amp. I'm moving up in quality and getting rid of some of the lesser quality stuff, even though a lot of you guys think that thes LTD's are low quality. They are better quality than you think they are. I have some good amps and that helps bring out their best attributes.

Anybody try a Digitech RP three fifty?
