Purchased a Player Grade Arrow-1000 Violet Andromeda, beautuiful guitar!  Still not sure where the flaw is.  I thought I had found a little blemish, it was like an oblonged spec, first  I had thought it was dust, so had ignored it, but now after playing it and wiping it down afterwards, I went to look at the flaw to describe it in this review, now that flaw is gone!  Maybe it's lttle scratches on the plastic sheet covering the back plate?  But I am sure the backplate is not affected.  Maybe the dots are not centered on the neck binding?  But the dots are the same on my other two Ltd's that were not PG.  It arrived setup with .011" strings instead of 9's like stated here in the Specifications.  Had to go through and do a complete setup for 9's after re-stringing it.  Now the guitar is perfect, I want to say flawless (where is the flaw?), and plays awesome!  I have 2 other Ltd's, and I like this one the best.  I love the Violet Andromeda, different angles different colors, Red/Burgandy, Blue, and Purple, in dim lighting it looks black.  Where's the flaw?  Setup with wrong strings?  Plays great now!  Love it!  Glad I got it.

Any chance the Violet Andromeda will be restocked

I see that the Sweetwater pictures now show that this has been updated to have a satin neck, which is awesome! But please, please put the reverse headstock on this one. It would be an instant buy.

is this guitar doscontiniued? i would love to buy a new one but cant find one anywhere

Please make this available with a fixed string through body bridge. And keep the violet andromeda gloss.

I’m sick of all the satin finish guitars. They get dirty and nasty way to quick. We need violet andromeda gloss finish on more guitars.

Also an extra thin u neck is much better than the regular neck.

Any plans to pair the 1000 Violet Andromeda with Fishman pickups? Basically, the existing one with specs more like this one: https://www.espguitars.com/products/27416-arrow-1000nt. Floyd or NT, either would rock!

I’m in love with the look of it, but I just have a question, would it be possible to swap out the active pickups for passive humbuckers, and would there be a way for someone to make the volume switch a push/pull for coil splitting?

That looks soooooo beautiful! \m/

For the price you really should put on locking tuners.  I hate winding strings and trying to keep them from popping out.  No matter if it's locking at the nut or not getting a good wrap on the tuners is so much easier and neater with locking and the price is just way too high to not have them. 

I'm thinking of getting either this one or the red one. I read these are being made in both Korea and Indonesia. Is it possible to specifially order a Korean made one?

thing looks absolutely nutty. What is the return policy on this if i get it and end up not wanting it 

The violet andromeda comes with stainless steel frets now? The older ones didn’t right?

Please consider making a 1000 series without a tremolo

Received mine 2 weeks ago and I have to say its a well crafted instrument from the playability to the finish ,glad I went with esp ltd it's hard to put down !!!

Does the guitar come with a satin or gloss neck?

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

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?

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

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?  

thank you
