Also just FYI. The control layout on the guitar are different then the diagram shows. The bridge pu and tone are swapped on mine anyhow. I actually like it this way.

    I have been told that the upper control switch (the one with the black ring around it) has no functionality - it is just there for aesthetic looks.  Is this true?

      True, it's just aesthetic. To not lose the classic "les Paul" look

        Just received my IC two days ago(Indonesian made). I have to say after owning more then 10 ESP and LTD's, this one is truly spot on. No adjustments needed after a quick tune. Fit and finish is perfect including the fret board. Incredible sound with the Het set. I also own the Vulture LTD with the same EMG HETSET. The Iron Cross for some reason sounds better to my ears. Actually had to down tone the bridge PU because of the high output. Guess it's having that tone option on this axe that makes these pickups so versatile. Only wish the frets were stainless instead of nickel. Fantastic instrument. Thanks ESP and James.

            So has ESP fixed the quality issues with the signature series? I’ve been reading a lot of reviews that are several years old complaining about fret buzz and quality issues of the James hetfield signature. I’m stuck between this guitar and a schecter. The only thing holding me back is paying $1300 for a guitar I haven’t had my hands on or my ear to listen to in person. It would be a shame for a guitar company to not take constructive criticism from over 7 years ago and not fix them.

              Hi Jeremy, With guitars there can be setup related issues that may appear for a given number of reasons. Things like fret buzz can happen overnight if you neck needs to be adjusted to do changes in temperature, humidity, etc. ESP stands behind the quality of its products and there are no ongoing quality issues specific to these models. If you have any issues with your specific ESP/LTD model please contact customerservice@espguitars.com and they will assist you.
