The ESP Guitar Company

Just wanted to say hello. New to the forum as well as ESP/LDT guitars. I've been playing off and on for almost 30 years now. I've owned many very nice guitars. The very expensive and the not so expensive. I'm not a die hard fan of any manufacturer. I play what appeals to the eye and if it strikes a chord I take it home. Long story short, I traded a DR-880 for an LTD EC-256 AVT, literally without playing the guitar first. I never do this with the exception of mail-orders. Anyway the guitar looked a 1000 times better in person than in any picture I'd seen. I always wanted a gold top and the worn finish was the kicker. Yea, not very realistic, but cool none the less! I wanted a beater to jump around and thrash with. I have to say after a few small tweaks, I'm thoroughly impressed with every aspect of this $400 guitar! Way to go ESP! Now I'm in the market for a higher end actual ESP. If the little guys are this nice, the big boys have to be awesome.
