The ESP Guitar Company

in what regard? compared to what?

???????????

most of em have strings!!

yeah, strings are a good thing. I tried playing another guitar that didnt have strings and let me tell you, that was no easy task. I did alright though. They're also made of wood.

And they have these things, people call them pickups, but they dont look anything like pickup trucks

seriously though, just buy one. You'll soon find out for yourself. Plus they have so many different models and levels of quality that if you cant find 1 you like, playing guitar isnt your thing.

try to go with 400 series and up if possible

1. High end LTD's are built like Schecter's but at a fraction of the price.
2. They play like ESP-brand guitars for the most part.
3. Best bang for buck guitars on the market.
4. Often less expensive than comparable Ibanez guitars.

In my opinion the best guitars out there especially for the money you're paying. AND THEY LOOK COOL TOO!

High end LTD uses same wood body as ESPs, same pick ups too, EMGs, when you look at the specs on the signature models ESP VS LTD ( ALexi ans KH in exemple), there's no difference, so I wonder why pay more for the same guitar. I can't figure out where the whole 1000$ more goes if not in the pockets of the ESP owner

Well, magical wizards create them in the deepest depths of hell and then they are individually checked and set up by Satan himself.

Smilies are off ;(

LTD for life then

ESP's are factory made as well (the standard series, at least). They are factory made in Japan via assembly line just like LTD's are done in Korea. The difference is the factory QC. Obviously, custom ESP's are handmade, hence the price.

That's what I meant by QC. I was using the term loosely ... some aspects of the construction are done by hand and more carefully than the LTD line, but generally speaking, ESP Standard series instruments are factory made.
