so what exactly is the ESP LTD connection?
so what exactly is the ESP LTD connection?
I like this comparison and I will verify this claim soon as I am waiting on a baritone model LTD Eclipse to arrive (EC-401b). I figure with the consistent awesome quality in the ESP line and with so many people supplementing their ESP gear with LTD models, there has to be a decent amount of quality control handed down from ESP.
Old thread but I'm one of those cork sniffers who cannot stand the expression "ESP LTD" it's NOT an ESP, so stop calling it that! I can't even search online for ESP guitars for all the ESP LTD's poping up..
That aside, I do like LTD guitars, I've got 3 of them, one cheap one, one middle one, and one expensive one. I think they are the best low/mid level guitars you can buy, far superior to Epiphone and I think on par with American Fender and some Gibsons. I don't have any issue gigging with an LTD while my ESP sits at home.
i have 2 LTD's, an EC-1000 Satin and a B-304. i really like the both of them but especially the EC-1000. the EC-1000 is a beautiful guitar and i would definitely gig with. ive played (never owned) some 2000 dollar gibsons from Acoustics to Les Pauls, and have played many strats and tele's and the ec-1000 definitely comes close in quality in my opinion. dont let the name or brand fool you, a nice instrument is a nice instrument, and when it comes to gibson or fender or whatever the top brands are, u loose quality to price due to the name on the instrument. dont get me wrong a expensive gibson or fender are beautiful beautiful beautiful instruments but you can get something close or equal quality for a fraction of the price without paying for the brand name. not too sure on the DIfference between LTD and ESP anymore tho. if you look online now a days all the higher grade ESP's are LTD's
that's exactly what it is.
and LTD does NOT stand for limited, doesn't stand for anything actually.
There are other ESP branchoffs as well besides LTD; grassroots, edwards, navigator...
