The ESP Guitar Company

I just got a Demonology as my first LTD, and I couldn’t be more pleased.  It’s built very well, the fret work is impressive, and it plays and sounds great.  I was a little worried that the Bone Breakers would be overly tame compared to the standard EMG models on which they’re based, but they can do basically the same things and then some.  They have a little more complexity and a richer midrange.  This Hammett fellow has good taste.

I like Kirk Hammett, but I mainly bought the LTD Demonology because it seemed like the best combination of features, quality, price, and availability when I was ready to buy.  It plays every bit as good as my fixed-bridge USA Select and high-end Floyded import Soloists from the early 2000s.  The fretwork is fantastic, and the whole instrument is just about as solid as a guitar with a recessed Floyd gets.  It probably rivals my old JEM as the best floating-trem guitar I’ve ever owned, though the construction and feel are definitely more Soloist.

     And it sounds so frickin’ good.  EMG say they have tweaked the preamps slightly in the Bone Breakers as compared to the 81 and the 60A, and while they claim the differences are subtle, I feel like the bridge model is noticeably less compressed and more versatile than the 81.  It cleans up nicer and seems to cover more ground as you use different amp tones and playing styles.

     This is my first guitar from the ESP group, and I’m very impressed.  I think my attention as I consider future purchases will naturally migrate from a couple of old standby brands towards high-end LTD.

Best guitar I have ever played. And I own an Amercan hand made strat among my 7 guitars.   This LTD plays like a 5000$ instrument 

I don't have this particular model but I do own a KH602 and KH202 both of which are awesome guitars with the KH602 my go to guitar as it's no only versatile with wicked tonal characteristics but such an easy and beautiful guitar to play and in regards to Kirk's Demonology it's the one guitar I'd sell my soul to own so I'm wondering if the Demonology is available for purchase in Australia?

Thanks for making this in a lefty model. Bought it immediately. Not all that into Metallica,,, just really excited to see a lefty model that isn't flat black... or some other generic bore. Really... THANK YOU.
