Are the Korean and Indonesian made Arrow 1000s the same price? Considering people claim Korean gmade guitars are superior to Indonesian.

Todd B. ESP

Hi, all models with the same name will have the same price and specs regardless of where they are built.

We are currently manufacturing this model in both Korea and Indonesia. However, we constantly monitor production standards at our various factories in Asia where we produce LTD models. Should we determine that a certain facility is capable of manufacturing an instrument to ESP's required standard or better, we may decide to shift production, or in some cases share production of a model, wherever that factory may be located. The guitar should be of excellent quality regardless of where it's made, and it will have passed our own quality assurance testing.

I am thinking of getting this! Never used ESP/LTD before (Schecter, Jackson and Ibanez only) so how bad of a quality of this compared to the equivalent $5k ESP Black Andromeda? Worth spending $1k on this?

I have several LTD guitars (owned many various guitars through many years) and the Arrow 1000 is incredible. Awesome finish is an understatement. Plays like a dream. I absolutely love this guitar. Buy it..you won't regret it. I haven't played an ESP Arrow, but I can only imagine the extra money is in higher end tuners, nut, etc. (Not that there is anything wrong with the tuners or nut on the LTD..just using them as examples.) The LTD guitars I own are perfect...lacking nothing.

Extremely worth the money, the 1000 series is a very well built guitar. After 2 years still haven't found a flaw in it. Wiring inside was even done extremely well.

Any plan on making a reverse headstock version of this guitar?

Carl N.

nothing at the moment

The Arrow Black Metal has reversed headstock..just not the Andromeda finish. (I just saw a new candy apple red Arrow 1000..new for 2021 I guess..it is beautiful.

It's so nice color and super shredding guitar

Is there any difference from Korean made vs Indonesian made quality? 
Also, is the volume knob metal?
