Probably ESP’s cleverest design. Nice matte black as well. Their Eclipse line has come a long way. Just an excellent guitar.

    Just picked one of these up from Gear Orphanage. What a player.

    Pros:

    -The setup. This is the third ESP I've bought in the last 2-3 months. All 3 came playable out of the box. Not just acceptable but extremely playable.

    -The Floyd is pretty stable. I use it sparingly for vibrato and sublte effects.

    - Amazing sustain. The EMG pickups combined with the neck through build allow this guiatr to sustain extremly well. I was suprised considering it's not a string through bridge setup

     

    Cons:

    - I play Les Pauls and LTD seven strings ( I have a Carpenter Tele and an H1001) and boy is the neck ever tiny. I have to get use to it, but it's not really a con so much as something that drew my attention.

    - The price. These guitars are really starting to creep up in price. This was around $1700 new here in Canada. That's a bit much in my opinion.

     

    Overall I'm extremely happy with this guitar. I guess my only complaint is that for almost $2000 after tax, it should come with a case of sorts.

        Hello there, the floyd rose is the 1000 pro SE or the 1000 SE? or those two are just the same? Thanks.

          I just played an ec 256 . The neck thickness and shape , as well as the fretwork, are perfect. I love esp/ltd but...as with many companies...neck shape is all over the place. Necks are the most important part but companies are

          ver clear on neck shape/thickness model to model . Thin u and extra thin u does not cover all esp/ltd models. A true U shape is a thick C with extra shoulders like a 70s strat .  Many of these like the m 100 fm was a D shape . Flatter back , round shoulders. The Kirk Hammett I played was like a super thin c . 

           

          Jackson is very consistent, but their body styles and finishes are stuck in the 80s along with some questionable new styles...but, the speed neck shape is very consistent. I'll give them that .

           

          I'd be great if you offered a " classic " neck that is thick , and a modern that is thin in all models . I love Esp . This site is like my Sears catalog but I'd do alot more buying with a good choice of neck shapes and them being accurately described for each model. 

           

          Just my 2c.
