Good luck finding a brand new axe as good as this one for this price! Yep, it's not a pro tool and you won't see it in the hands of any full time players, but for the beginner or intermediate players it's a must have. It sets up good, stays in tune and sounds decent. If you are a gigging musician use your high dollar axe up front and keep this one as a backup if disaster strikes. If you are looking for a starter guitar that will be easy to learn on or you are on a budget and playing in a local garage band, you'll love this thing. Wear it out and buy a new one!

I got this guitar for christmas today and I am unbelievably happy with it. The neck is thin and smooth so it's easy for me to do my solos. The vintage tremelo is probably my favorite part because after you use it the guitar is still in tune. I would pick this guitar over ibanez, gibson, and fender defiantly. GET THIS GUITAR NOW!!!!!

I bought this guitar as a backup to my Fender Telecaster about 2 months ago. This guitar has a great deep tone and great features. I have reason to belive that this ESP is one of the best guitars in the price range. I strongly recomend this ESP for any musician and any type of music.

I just came across this guitar randomly looking for a really cheap guitar. I figured since it was an ESP I had to get it. I ordered it and got it a couple days later. I haven't stopped playing it yet. I love this thing. ESP is the best!
