I had this axe for 2 years until giving it up to aid my education. Every day that has gone by, I deeply miss this thing. My take on it; It played so well, felt like a high class player wielding it. Has an amazing neck profile. Slim and contours with your palm, it's like holding your dream girl's hand. The fanned frets was an icing on the cake for comfort. Especially if you got medium to big hands and piano fingers. The stock pickup package is a good. Even though it's meant to rip hard and heavy with the Nazgul bridge. Sentient does a fine job in providing satisfactory of cleans. Definitely both of the pickups became a standard for me. The hipshot bridge and locking tuners are a must, ESP LTD knows that and they deliver it with this axe. Overall quality control meets the expectations that ESP is known for. This guitar could be easily marked up to $2000 if they wanted to. When I get time to get back into playing, I'm definitely buying this one again. 9.5/10, don't sleep on this one if you're looking for an 8 banger that delivers more than the budget.
It should be noted that I absolutely love ESP and have been a loyal customer for over 20 years but this guitar came with the worst QC I have ever seen from them. It came with loose tuning pegs, the nut was improperly cut, truss rod was off, string height was uneven, pickup height was off, and saddles in the bridge were off. I understand typically I may have to adjust things to my preferences but this was more like the guitar was assembled, skipped set up all together, and went straight in the box for shipping. It was that bad. I’m used to the guitar being great out of the box but this was like playing an Ibanez at guitar center. No offense to Ibanez. Once I got these issues corrected, the guitar was phenomenal.
I have this guitar and love it - having an issue with intonation on the bottom two string being sharp with the saddle maxed out and wanted to try replacing the nut - does ESP offer a precut option I can get?
Hi, please contact our customer service for help with your guitar. It should be able to intonate correctly without having to replace the nut.
I love the M Model guitars by ESP/LTD. I'm just curious why they would not make the headstock the same as all the other models. That's one of the coolest looking features with the M models.
Hi, thanks for your comments. We've used a couple different headstocks on our M- Series before. We appreciate you letting us know what you are looking for.
Hi Brian, Please contact our customer service department at customerservice@espguitars.com and they should be able to direct you.
