First look: LTD Vulture in the wild
First look: LTD Vulture in the wild
This showed up today! The guitar is flawless, comfortable, balanced and set up straight from the box. Truly impressed once again by the ESP/LTD quality. Couple of things I know I was curious of so I'm going to mention in case you all were wondering too:
1. The taper on the top wing is pretty dramatic and I tried to show that in the pics. It ends up being even thinner than the tip of the snakebyte by about a quarter inch. It is also not as subtle as the Snakebyte's taper but completely serves a purpose and making it more comfortable to play when standing.
2. The headstock is also tapered unlike the Snakebyte and I tried to show that in a pic also. I could tell that from the stock photos but I was curious if it was going to make it to the production LTD's.
3. The neck binding is also satin black with white dots and looks killer. Now I wish my black Truckster had this option.
Other than that my first impressions overall are extremely good. Lucky for me I have gigs with my Metallica tribute this Saturday and next, so it's going to be put to the 'tallica test really soon!
It's advertised like that on the ESP siteĀ
