      Hi!

      It says L available. I assume that's Left-handed. Since I cannot find the left handed version on this site, do I simply look at a local third party store that sells LTD's?

      Thanks!

          Just got mine today.... I can’t believe the quality for the price! I got a factory second on clearance. I can’t see why this one is a second as I see no flaws.....

          beyond happy again with ESP. I now own 4 ESP’s and plan on adding more...

              1st bass I've bought new! Love the feel and the range of tones I can get from it. I play blues and jam band mainly. Using DR Legends on her and it's like no other... My main bass before was a '83 G&L L2000-E... get to retire her for this one. The feel, design and range of available tones of the D5 is has been a lot of fun to work with! Bright without being brassy, fat without being muddy and mixing the PUPs is woody to crunchy. Lots of controllable sustain and quick action. The burled top gets lots of comments and has an interesting effect with stage lights.

              Thank you!
