I prefer the regular inlays that aren't flipped around like these. Still nice though.

I could do without the middle pickup. I'd probably just lower it .

My conclusion - get the LTD 1000/600 and learn how to do proper service if you want great guitar, but watch out for lemons (not sure about new Indonesian facility). Get the E-II if you want perfect finish and "top" components, I newer saw lemon E-II thought. Get the ESP to get pristine guitar. Note: you can rock as hard on the LTD as you can rock on ESP and while you can actually feel some and certanly see the difference - unless you're nitpicky - you won't feel the need for E-II or ESP. Crowd you gather don't give a damn about it for sure (maybe some guitar snobs). I was playing custom Mayones once, guitar worth five times more that mine axe at the time, it was something like that. It was flawless, but nothing more. I don't need perfect binding, perfect top, perfect setup, perfectly sanded routings with no CNC feel and no factory dust present or some badass logo. I need guitar that is great hardware wise, tune correctly, feels great and sounds huge after one day of proper DIY setup - that's the LTD.

I thought that the usa select were the production models back then....

Sweet playing and tones man, thanks! I know I don't NEED one of these, but the past few days, I'm really WANTING one. There's just something different with the sound. Like a smooth, creamy growl. Edging that way lol

Have to say: I was dubious when a MB Galuszka turned up at Better Music as a trade-in. Is it worth that kinda money? Then I played it. Oh, my … oops. “It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.”

Oi! Get your hands off it, it’s MINE! 😂

Wow you suck your teeth often enough when talking there’s no way to even listen to your video with how obnoxious your key sucking is now we know why you’re not doing well

that's not a "coil split". there was no volume drop and it gained a single coil hum. that, my friend, is a "coil tap". you don't see the tap as much as the split. EDIT, you don't see it often in a humbucker, that is. the "tap" is a single coil thing as a rule.

looks amazing. Too bad we couldn't listen this as bass, only as guitar

Thanks brother from Warren. 😎

plan on gettin one of these and making it into a Jr. Noice.

Great tone! Love it!

I own 2 of these, Platinum Pearl & Slime Green. Both with Upgraded FU Bridge Blocks. Titanium Brigde Hardware and Noiseless Springs. Spent $1350 for one and $1500 for the other. Love them both, solid construction, no complaints!!!

SL2MG has SS frets and hardtail

I have an Ibanez Prestige which used to be my favorite, an Ibanez Jem Premium, and this one blows both out of the water. Not worried about the FR1500. This guitar is solid as can be. I got the green one, it’s my 6 string Hulk.

I have the sg Modern, my first sg, and I love it.

You have the sounds of electrical faults all throughout this video but you don't have enough knowledge to realise it. You also have the problem of electrical mis-tuning sound. Physically, it's in tune, but electrically, it's out of tune.

STOP IT WITH YOUR CHILDISH ATTITUDE!! GROW UP! The world 🌎 has moved on since the 1980's and you're NOT up to date with your knowledge. We are WAY OUT IN FRONT OF YOU and you must ask us to tell you what we've learned and know. I'll point 👉 👈 out to you that epiphone HAS ALREADY INTRODUCED fret scratches as a performance variation. If EVH chooses to relic frets or scratch them deliberately or not, then YOU AS THE GUITARIST HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO TO UPGRADE YOUR KNOWLEDGE. You're a fool to be disrespecting customers 😒 Let's point 👉 out 👉 your other obvious 1980's education level and EVH makes more than 1 sound. By now they must have invented over a million different sounds. Your other obvious low education problem is this; I bet you don't apply this same logic to Ibanez brand. Do you OBSESS about what Mr Ibanez was doing 🤔 Do you obsess about what Mr Ibanez guitar looked like?? Do you obsess about 1 famous sound that Mr Ibanez made back in 1978??? Do ya? Do yah? Do YOU obsess about what Leo Fender did during his performance in 1978?? Well WHY ARE YOU obsessed with this dumb perspective towards this brand??? Do you worry about Luis Vouton handbags 👜 and women don't look right just like Luis did back in 1978?? Do you go to bed worrying about people eating Ronald and hamburgler's hamburgers??? They don't look right and eat the same as Ronald McDonald. Nobody cares what mister Ibanez did or mister Fender or etc... etc... Put the thing down and update your knowledge!!!! Get beyond the stripes! Stop hassling people! Give it a rest! You've done enough damage to this brand! Leave them alone! You don't know what you're talking about! You're NOT at the cutting edge! You're NOT at the same level as others..

Where is this one made Oli?

Mic is givin me aids

4:32 nope

I have the 5120M and I love it! But I still want that one 😞

Just got one !😎

Hey Oli, great review. Based on this review alone I’m gonna pull the trigger on this one, or the new black version with SS frets. Cheers man.

The flamed maple top finish looks cool and evil at the same time for me, which I personally like the most.

I can’t stand stainless steel frets.

2:25 the exact reason i bought this. Fokin hate winter depressions

Oli can play, this is a serious musician.

i love this guitar, but a SS refret takes it's price up even further. It's the best looking Charvel though IMHO. So much so i've been tempted to buy it even though i hate Nickel (allergy). The pickup combo was smart also. Beautiful guitar.

sweet guitar mate! i just bagged a humbucker version epi LP jr for 120USD out the door..used but magical! gonna pop in a "hum90" in the place of the humbucker for more era correct spank n gnarlyness!

I am not very familiar with Fender guitars... Can I lock that bridge somehow?

Is this guitar worth it?

This guitar plays sick the neck is the fastest neck ive ever played my only complaint is no stainless steel frets but nickel is fine and has a good tone. And the frets can be replaced. Id rather have one with a fixed bridge anyways so i dont care about the korean floyd. But for the tone and playability and the look its totally badass. I got mine for 2300$ since my dad got me a 10% military discount. Im happy with it and love how easy it is to restring and play. This is the most badass guitar ive ever played

Whats the amp you play?

Bloody good playing. Loved the review.

Tried a friends 6L6 version. We both just don't get the shared eq. Set a clean sound in channel one, and the drive channel sounds dreadful. Think he is now sticking to the clean channel and using a pedal for drive sounds. What are we missing?

Well this was complete shit for sure. When was the last time thins clown washed his hair?? 1993?? Maybe.

Top heavy. Huge dip when standing and playing.. it’s Decent if you change out the pickups . The neck is only 24.5/8 I had one. Sold it for ESP black metal arrow. It smokes the prophecy every which way. Period. Try an ESP 25.5” scale neck , black ebony fret board and emg 81 pick ups ,the esp black metal arrow , try yourself then play the the prophecy. This guy is blowing smoke up your butt the guitar he’s playing is crap dude it doesn’t feel good in your hands at all compared to ESP or BC rich. Try yourself and you will see this guitar sucks on stage.

Gotta love the ltd flying v arrow guitars i started playing guitar when I was 12.

Like old saying you don't take care of a esp e 2 guitar you get another one for taking care of the first one.

Les paul jrs are my favorite guitar ❤😻

You need a lapel mic dude, can’t clearly hear you, besides your accent though 😂

How woudl you say this compares to a fender player telecaster

❤

I haven't played or felt one yet, but have been wanting to try one. I do a Epiphone LP Standard with P90s but I tend to go to a Squire Stratocaster I have. I've got a older Charvel Stealth that has the Jackson live action pickups< but it tends to stay in the case most of the time. I've had it since July 96. I don't think it'll go any where else.

Why not just get a Les Paul? Gibson has been a douchebag company for decades more noteworthy for stalling progress and making music less accessible. Thats why.

Owned several LTD through the years. Picked up an e-ii a month ago. Haven’t touched anything else since. It’s such a night and day difference between the two.
