I recently purchased this guitar from Sweetwater. Overall this guitar rips and I’m very happy with it. It’s my first guitar with coil splitting and SS frets, so that’s new to me. Absolutely solid machine to get the job done, but there are a couple of things that inspired me to write this review. The description given here is not entirely what I received. First, the battery box is plastic, although it appears to be the same shape as the stainless one, so maybe it can be replaced. Secondly, the bridge does not appear to be locking, and finally the tuners on mine are not Grover they are Gotoh locking. At the end of the day, great guitar and I don’t think anyone will be disappointed. This is my second ESP along with my Snakebyte and I’m truly a big fan of them.
