I love this guitar. Sometimes a neck just feels right, and for me the neck feel is perfect. I bought mine used and it plays/sounds amazing.

I am absolutely in love with the sound and feel of this guitar. However, it has way too many defects out of the box for the 500 euros I paid for it:

- minor imperfections / scratches

- the color of the front is blue but it’s green on the back

- the toggle switch does not switch the bridge humbucker from first attempt and requires multiple annoying toggles

- under the plastic covers on the back you can see the double of the drilled screw holes - the first attempt was clearly a failure and caused little pieces of wood to detach, and they just drilled new hole a couple millimeters next to it

 

I NOT recommend buying this guitar until LTD improves their production and quality control.

this is a brilliant guitar. I've been using it for a year and I have no issue. I have a string feeling it am going to keep it stock for a very long time. 
amazing sound, great tuning stability and stunning looks
loved it
Thanks ESP.
