ESP Guitar Reviews

"but i'd like to know the difference's in theese instruments...You're basically only going to be able to get the COB sound, and I would recommend a gain booster, just like he uses...EMG HZ's don't sound all that bad, but Alexi uses a gain booster, that's why he uses this particular pickup..." read more »

"not saying that ESP guitars are bad...Between its overall feel and balance (to me) and the looks, it's a winner...I've got nothing against the HZ pick-ups obviously they've got nothing on the active 81's but they aren't bad..." read more »

"Carefully chosen features leave a little to nothing to be wished for, which makes ESP's LTD AX-260 an extremely well featured guitar with which you'll be thoroughly pleased...Ready to play out of the box, ESP's LTD AX-260 is easy to set up even further thanks to great hardware pieces she built upon...It feels reliable and it really is, as ESP put great deal of time and effort to produce such a good looking guitar that is behaving well, as LTD AX-260 does..." read more »

"Sounds like a good way to break up the pre-amp tubes on your amp...Cheaper hardware leads to stuff going bad sooner, and lesser wood quality is equal to not as good tone, and/or body warping...I'd recommend trying to get a Floyd Rose on it or something comparable..." read more »

"Have they gone bad in recent years...You can't expect it to be a great guitar but that one you are looking at is good for the money it cost...I had a Dean back in '89, & it was about the best guitar I ever owned! A fellow doesn't know what is good & what is junk anymore, it seems..." read more »

"Now ESP delivers amazing affordability in a neck-thru, flame top bass with EMG active EQ in the ESP B254 Electric Bass...Whether you want to increase overall string tension or just "beef up" your string attack, the string-thru option is a big plus...This neck design provides a very solid feel and an improved transfer of tone from the neck to the body..." read more »

"I have had the ESP B-208FM for a couple of months now and I couldn't believe how easy it was to learn how to play an 8-string...In the old days there wasn't a lot of use for the 8 string...This one is especially nice due to the great amount of available settings and the EMG pickups..." read more »

"Nevertheless, looks like the R&D folks at ESP just had one hell of a brainstorm going on...I’ve seen relicked guitars that had a poly finish, it’s utterly bad...I check the page everyday and hope you’ll be back in action soon..." read more »

"i started out w/ an ibanez giger model but traded up to the dj-600 after i played it in store...the DJ-600 Dan jacobs is buy far one of the best guitars ESP has to offer...The DJ-600 puts out an amazing and different sound from any other guitar i have played..." read more »

"The EC-100 features an Agathis Body with quilted Maple top, bolt-on Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard, a pair of LH-100 humbuckers, and jumbo frets...the knobs and stuff were good but the pickups aren’t too great mine broke and you should get some emgs put in it...Great metal guitar, has a good squeal but doesn’t produce a lot of feedback, probably better for solos than rhythm..." read more »
