I have this guitar and I have to say it's the best guitar I've ever played. The EverTune bridge is incredible, I've never heard a guitar sound so perfectly in tune all of the time. Even after 3 flights around the world from Denmark to Dubai to Asia and to Australia all with varying temperatures, I pulled this thing out of the case and it was perfectly in tune at baggage claim. The workmanship and attention to detail is also incredible and the dark brown sunburst finish is absolutely beautiful.  I have mine drop tuned to C Sharp standard with a set of NYXL1156's and there is absolutely no issue with it. I've also dialed in the bend sensitivity to how I like it and that was easy to do. The pickups on this also sound amazing. Even with a ton of gain on the amp there's clarity in all the notes and there's plenty of output from the passive pickups. This thing sounds heavy AF.  I gotta say prefer these pickups over the EMG 81's or 85's and also over the Seymour Duncan Blackouts I have in my Les Paul's.  I love playing this guitar!

This is another beautiful ESP/LTD guitar, but is there Any chance this same model could be offered with Chrome Hardware (Chrome Evertune Bridge, Chrome Tuners, Chrome Knobs) And Seymour Duncan JB Bridge and '59 Neck (or Pearly Gates Neck) with Chrome Covers? Stainless Steel Frets??

Also, Any chance for a 22 Fret model like this one for a more classic feel and looks?

Hi Scotty, This model is not being offered with these options but thanks for your suggestions. As far as the 22F, we don't offer many LTD EClipse with 22F but we do with the E-II line of ECLIPSE.

I heard the evertune bridges make it a pain to drop tune.... like a big pain in the ass

It's not a pain at all, you can actually drop tune like a regular guitar. You just have to turn the tuning peg more, but it's basically the same. You can also drop tune and tune up to standard tuning if you have the evertune set to a drop tuning. The lowest string will then act like it's on a normal bridge.

I'd imagine the evertune bridge is probably a little bit of a pain to use until you get the hang of it like anything else cool on guitars lol

Hi Stephen, There is a little bit of a learning curve at first but once you get it, it's fairly simple to operate from there, and it actually saves time, less tuning issues and restringing is a breeze.
