UTILIZATION
Another great LP type guitar from ESP/LTD. With the appropriate contours for comfort and the awesome thin U neck profile that makes this an actually COMFORTABLE LP.
Upper fret access is no problem due to the thin u and the neck contour on the back.
Super simple controls to get an easy sound right from the start.
24 XJ frets so you can shred all the way up there if you wanted!
SOUNDS
What can I say about the sound? Every body and their mother has played EMG pickups so there isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said.
The 81 is the crushing bridge pickup with loads of gain. Plenty of harmonic content, pinch harmonics leap out of the fretboard on command and palm mutes and chugs are distinct, clear and tight.
The 60 is one of, it not the absolute cleanest pickup offered by EMG in the neck position, an almost single coil, woody clean that sounds super organic. The distortion on the 60 is smooth, clear and not muddy at all yet thick and powerful. No wonder why Hetfield always uses this pickup for his leads and his cleans.
OVERALL OPINION
Great guitar for the price. EMG equipped is good too for me, though I know there are some who prefer passive pickups, whatever floats your boat. I like both and can use both for different situations. The only thing I don't like about LTD guitars is the annoying 12th fret logo with the model name on it. I wish they would just put that somewhere else!
Otherwise, great guitar, well built, sounds great and looks even better! A shredworthy LP, comfortable, thin, light and still looks sexy as hell!
