I have one, it's amazing. for the price, it's a super comfortable guitar, killer aesthetic, perfect for riffing. I play death metal in D standard, it holds pitch perfectly and has a powerful sound, my second guitar, I love it, I will never let it go.

I bought a SH LTD F10 guitar as my first one - love the sound, the feel and especially what some are calling an "ugly design". All good until getting for it a professional setup. Now the 1st and mostly the 6th string are making a horrible buzz. The guy who did the setup explained me that this is a design issue, because the bridge is completely straight while the neck is somehow slightly curved on both margins, so no matter what he's done to it there will always be a difference between the height of 1st and 6th strings and those in the middle - hence the unwanted buzz. Now I come to hate the noise it makes and seriously think to sell it. But, I can't imagine ESP/LTD makes guitars that are impossible to properly setup because of a "design failure". Could you please tell me if the buzzing it's a common issue for this entry level guitar? And how this problem could be fixed? Many thanks in advance!

This is the first time purchasing an ESP/ltd guitar at this level.  Due to my previous experiences with Ltds in the in the range such as my EC-401QM and two EC-1000s and the quality being beyond superb, I was sorely disappointed in the quality control of this guitar even at such a low price point as this guitar was purchased to be a mod platform for a specific purpose. Chips in the fretboard, the bridge is bottomed out and still has an action that is way to high to be called a moderately playable action even with a visibly large neck angle in its pocket.  The string retaining ferrules on the back are pressed in at varying depths.

    The finish on the body and back of the neck were very good and the neck, aside from the aforementioned chips in the fretboard was a very comfortable and smooth feeling one.  
    
    All the issues, except for the bridge/action are easily corrected or to be expected in an extremely inexpensive entry level guitar.  However, left with the playability issues (a motivational killer for a beginner which this is priced for) will take either a neck pocket shim (least desirable solution, or the bridge studs to be removed, drilled deeper (and stepped to accommodate the top set into the body) to provide more adjustment to lower the action.

 

ESP/Ltd guitars are up there with the best out in the market, but this one fell short.  Sorry for the long review.  Photos available upon request as I’ve already dove into making this a monster!
