ESP LTE200MBLK Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Black

My headline comes from someone who has Fender American's and Custom Shops, EPS EC-1000s, Epiphone LP Special's and this guitar (with upgraded Mark Holcomb PUPS) puts every other guitar I own to shame. The neck is amazingly fast and smooth and with the new PUPS and a coil-split this thing shreds.

First thing I noticed after I played it out of the box…neck pickup was dead. Brought it to guitar center for a setup/repair and also had the strings changed out for D’addario NYXL 11-56. Luckily it was a quick fix on the neck pickup. Sounds and plays much better. Next issue…I know it’s only a TE200 series and not as pricey as a 400 or 1000 but I’m also noticing the tuners slip when changing tunings. Will probably buy a set of locking tuners soon and change out the pickups for the new Jim Root EMGs. Overall not a bad guitar to practice with or jam along with friends.

Arrived quick. It's a little bit heavy but it feels strong and appropriately crafted. I'll change the pickups but the original one sounds great also. Good purchase for the money. Recommended.
