Hi! Do guitars that have Fishman Fluence Moderns (like this one but also the many other guitars) already ship with the new version that has 3 voicings? Thank you.

Hello there!

Are the screws for the cap of the battery-box screwd directly into the wood, or are there some heli-coil / threaded inlets glued in?

I‘m a little bit worried about the wear and tear of the threads over the years.

Thank you in advance!

This guitar is STUNNING. I've had it for a week and cannot put it down. I got it used at a local music shop, and the previous owner didn't take very good care of it. I took it home and went to work cleaning it up and setting everything to my liking. Once I was done, I knew this guitar was going to be something special. Aside from the beautiful iridescent finish, everything about this guitar is perfect. The silky smooth feel of the stainless steel frets, the neck shape, the locking tuners, the hardtail...*chef's kiss* I've only owned super-strat style guitars, so I never thought I'd like the singlecut, but this one has proven me wrong. The Fishman pickups are the icing on the cake for this stellar instrument.

This is my second LTD and certainly won't be my last. Keep up the amazing work, ESP!

I received this guitar today. BTW this is a lefty,lol. The violet andromeda paint is beyond words,I can see so many different colors. This guitar was also made in Korea and not Indonesia. I was amazed that it arrived perfectly in tune but was shocked that strings weren't loose for shipping. I love the sound of the fluence pickups and the playability on the neck. The only thing that I didn't like especially for this price was the frets were sharp on the upper fret edges on both the top and bottom. Either they are not seated yet or they are raised for some reason. Not sure.. The construction and build quality on this guitar is very solid! Just ordered a tombstone case for this for added protection. I also ordered a mirage deluxe 87 in pink and have been waiting months but can't wait to play and review that one too,when i get it.. I highly recommend all ESP guitars!! Thank you ESP for making amazing guitars with a vast selection for us south paws!!!

Got this guitar this week. After a set up plays amazing. Love the Fishman pickups! One of the best finishes I have ever seen. ESP has some amazing employees glad to support this company!

Hi there, Thanks very much for your comments and review. We're so happy to hear that you like your new instrument. Thanks for choosing ESP!

No doubt that this is the best-looking guitar I've EVER owned. I doubt that the custom version with white binding looks as attractive as this LTD with black binding.

I am honestly not a TOM bridge, nor a Fishman Modern set fan, so some other configuration/spec of this model might be more favorable, but this is one kickass factory guitar from Korea. Beautiful and inspiring every time you actually have a look at its colors while playing.

I think I will switch to either the Fishman Classic or the Devin Townsend. The Modern bridge has unfavorable high frequencies in its profile.

thanks for sharing!

I just got this and it's so much better in person! The paint is amazing,  the fishmans are fantastic and overall it's A+.

Carl N.

glad you enjoy it

This Violet Andromeda says “L Available.” Is it available in left handed? I am a lefty, and I want this guitar more than anything... if I could find it available for me, I would buy it right now, without hesitation.

Carl N.

Yes,  will denote an instrument that is also produced in left handed.  You can reach out to your preferred ESP dealer to see if they have one available.

How long should the battery last? I got my guitar less than a week ago and the battery died already

Carl N.

battery life can vary but in order to avoid any unwanted drain on your battery it is recommended to not leave your instrument plugged in while not in use

Frederick B.

I'm seeing the same thing.  I've had mine 3 weeks, and I've had to change the battery twice.  I don't leave it plugged in, or nothing.  I turn all knobs down after I play them.  After I changed the battery last week, I played 6 songs that night, and haven't played it until tonight, and the battery was down to 1 volt.  Out of my 27 ESP guitars, this is the only one that does it.

Anton S.

In my case, after I changed the battery to Duracell more than two weeks ago, it still works. And I use almost every day for a few hours.

We'll see how long it lasts this time.

Anton S.

An update. After I posted my previous comment my battery died again. So I guess if you use the guitar every day the battery will last for about a week or two top.

Frederick B.

Crap.  That's not what I was wanting to hear.  Tested my battery before putting a new one in, and it was at 9.7 volts.  I'll check where it is in a week.  I only played mine once for about 6 songs, and it died.  If it's drained, I'll have to open it up to start looking at the wiring.

Adrian H.

I had the same issue with batteries draining in a few days, even with the guitar unplugged. I contacted ESP and the retailer - both of which were unhelpful. After a bit of research on the web I took out the input jack and found a lot of debris from manufacture / assembly - off-cut wire strands, sawdust etc. A strand of loose wire was creating a short between two of the contacts in the input jack. I cleaned out the rubbish and that seems to have fixed the problem. So now my guitar is great, and I know ESP needs to improve quality control and customer service - along with it's dealer.

Just got this beauty and it's awesome!

glad you enjoy it

My first Esp Ltd guitar. She is so Beauty!

I received this guitar on 4-10-20. Simply amazing the fit and finish are true to ESP standard. This thing is a beast with the fishmans in an ESP guitar. ESP knocked it out of the park. 

Carl N.

Glad you are enjoying it

If not too much trouble, please describe the tone, etc. of the Fishman pickups. Thanks for your time, MRW 

Tim S.

Bravo ESP. 

 

Wow. Love love love thisncolor and the specs. Was thinking about the horizen in the M2 line, but these top end LTDs like this are hard to beat. A few years ago in Atlanta I played the cheaper ltd 256 from Vietnam. It was killer. Even the stock pickups sounded great to me, and I'm pretty picky about fret work and the nut and bridge, and the profile of the neck, and it was really nice. Whoever is designing these for ESP deserves a raise as far as I am concerned. This is a killer color, on a killer mid range budget guitar. Good stuff.  

Carl N.

Thanks for the comment

Hekate's flame

This exact guitar with an Evertune bridge and maybe some Bareknuckle pickups, like the Miracle Man would be one kickass budget guitar!

Todd B. ESP

Thanks for your suggestion. We appreciate it!

Hugo F.

Is there a 7 string in this color or a double cut 7 string ?? This color is dope!

Carl N.

Currently just this model and the Arrow model.

Andrew C.

I have two EC-1000s one see thru green with Duncan’s and black/grey FR.  this will be my third.  Is there going to be one of these made with a Floyd?  

Carl N.

Hey Andrew, not currently but thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Riff Dr 75

This is a phenomenally beautiful instrument. I plan to buy one due to the pick ups and the paint. It will compliment my ESP LTD EC CZ 2 that my wonderful wife bought me from a local music store for next to nothing. I absolutely love my Eclipse. I have but one I can't say complaint but straplocks on such amazing creations would be well worth the extra 20 you would have to add to the price. Wonderful instruments. Can't wait to get another. I used to play Ibanez but not anymore. Thanks LTD. 

Carl N.

Thanks for sharing Riff!

Michael B.

Is it possible to put a Floyd rose on this model?

Carl N.

Hey Michael, since this instrument's neck angel was set in mind with using a tune-o-matic bridge it would not be advisable to try and install a Floyd Rose on this instrument.

Michael L.

Nice,

i like when you find new ideas about the colors
