ESP LTD PH-600 Sig Model
ESP LTD PH-600 Sig Model
I just got my GL256 on Tuesday. It's killer for the money... but a little disappointing. The relic wear is a decal for one, the LTD decal on the headstock is over the clear so I ripped it off, lol, and I do have a ground problem since it buzzes when you take your hands off the strings or anything metal. Overall though, it's pretty nice, the neck is awesome and it surprisingly holds tune well. I'm going to buy some Sperzels, Graphtech saddles, and possibly bring it to a shop to correct the ground issue, under warranty of course. Then I'll probably drag it across the floor a few times to make it really look used, the relic job is pretty cheesy at best. Oh, and I did buy an ESP decal for the headstock, but I don't plan on passing it off as the real deal. The LTD logo looked stupid anyway.
Thanks for the GL-256 review, im either gonna get a GL-256 and replace about all of the parts, Pickups/Tuners/USA Fender Bridge or get another Fender Strat and do the same.
But the axes on my second trem axe list are theese:
ESP LTD PH-600
ESP LTD GL-256
Ibanez JS-1200 (Used for £699 i think)
Ibanez SV-5470
Fender MIM 50s Classic Player or MIM Standard Strat
PRS SE Singlecut or Custom Trem
Im wanting it to be as versitile as i can, as i want it to be a workhorse axe, as thats how i like my guitars to be, workhorses.
I had one for a short time last year, it was definitely a nice guitar. I'm more of a Floyd guy so I didn't find a lot of use having a Wilkinson bridge, and I sold it to one of the guys on this forum. It's one of the best LTD's I have played though, the Dimarzio's sounded great, it held tune well, and had a great neck profile. As far as the routing, it has a slight recess to pull up on the trem. A Floyd will not fit due to the post spacing differences. I'd say that the PH is a very versatile guitar, and has an awesome appearance... I just didn't care for the Wilkinson trem. I'm sure Soulfly will chime in on this matter, he still has his and loves it.
