    So cool to see LTD guitars everywhere. I wanted to try out an Evertune bridge and could only find one on a LTD EC-1000 Deluxe. Best guitar I've ever played. Loved the neck so much I went out and bought the TE 1000 Deluxe (for single coil sounds and the same neck). Put my PRS SEs (2), Fender Strats (2), and my Gibson Les Paul into thier cases. Haven't looked back in 2 years.

    Oh my god. How the Captain has improved his guitar playing the last few years, is just insane. From (sorry to say) quite boring blues licks just some years ago to the level he shows today is just impressive. I guess playing with Rabea, Danish Pete and Rob the last 10 years has made a massive impact. But a big request: don’t get to serious in the videos. It’s the playfulness, silliness, bad jokes and laughs which makes the show worthwhile looking at. More blindfold tests, more challenges of different types, and more fun😀😀👍

    I do have an ESP Eclipse (4 knob version) with Seymour Duncans from 2008. It doesn't get used much now, because my taste has changed more towards traditional Les Paul, tele and strat, but... If you're into heavier music - Eclipse is one of the best things you can buy. Mine resonates like crazy and goes into super sweet feedback when you need it. Pickups are very nicely matched - no problems with neck pickup having too much bass or bridge being too thin. So get yourself that granite sparkle E-II and you'll be happy for years ;)

    @kevroyo 3 года назад +20

    Ended up getting lucky last year with a mint 2019 ESP E-II Eclipse in blue natural fade for $1200! I wanna preface with the fact that I was terribly prejudicial towards EMG pickups, but picked up that guitar regardless simply because of its looks and the killer deal. Let me tell you first off, E-II quality is second to none. I don’t usually prefer single cut guitars, and I DEFINITELY don’t prefer glossy necks, but that guitar still manages to be my favorite and most played by a fair margin. ESP and E-II branding aside, if you’ve wanted to try EMGs but are also put off because of the “shredders only” stigma they seem to have generated over the years, find a guitar with the “splittable” 57TW/66TW set and just give them a try. They are genuinely very dynamic and beautiful sounding pickups and offer great tones that are usable for just about any music you may play. I don’t usually go this far just for a RUclips comment, but if it can encourage even just one person to go out of their comfort zone and experience the same surprise and satisfaction that I did, then it’s worth it.

I’ll agree with Lee if I was to buy a single cut and it wasn’t an LP, a McCarty 594 SC would be the one because I’m a massive PRS fan and that’s my favorite model. But my pockets choose Gibson.

    Since no one has said it ....I will....for the money....in single cut guitars....ESP gives you so much more than a traditional Les Paul. I have the amber burst Eii full thickness...and it is head and shoulders above my 60's Les Paul. It is more comfortable to play and imo better build quality. The fit and finish are top notch...and it actually stays in tune. If you like LP's you will love these. Well worth the money. The only place a Gibson Les Paul has the advantage is in resale value.

    "It's a bit confusing, isn't it." It is, and what bugs me is that you can pay $150 for a student model or $1,500 for a beautiful professional-grade instrument and either way it says LTD on the headstock. If they're gonna split up the brands like that, couldn't they choose a more logical cutoff point for the "low end?"

      that's how it's been with them, the LTD name was on alot of there guitars even back when i was in my last year of highschool 2003.
      most people reference James Hetfield and Kirk Hammit alot, but what alot of people forget is ESP branded the name itself on the headstock, because it's a custom. Metallica started out with Gibson Les Paul and Explorer on the first two albums, once a band reaches a certain amount of success that's when players can get any guitar they want made. i don't know why they do it that way either, but you have to remember the way Japan deals with other Asian markets is different than the way we might. but not all companies do the same, Ibanez is a Japanese company and there name is on everything regardless if it's entry level to the most expensive.
      ESP is the only one i know of that does things a little differently, but a few of the Eclipse models they showed here, they did reference that they are made in Japan. it's just that a separate team works on them, now to get the actual ESP name on the headstock you have to go to Custom.

    I think all the 2021 LTDs come with stainless steel frets too now, right?

    Good review Ive had a full thicc LTD EC400VF vintage finish since 2006. I went in for a Gibby LP studio but played the korean EC and its thinner neck, access carved neck joint, xtra jumbo frets, and stock Duncan JB 59 set blew the Les Paul away in tone and playability for less than half the price of a Studio. Still have it wont sell it. Also w earvana nut and grovers it needs no mods fret ends and polish perfect. I changed to an amber switch tip and amber reflector top Gibson style knobs and thats it thats all the mods it needed. Big alpha pots tone pros bridge need no changes. Unlike the crappy kluson plastic tuners sharp fret ends and and muddy 490R and T pickups in the $1200 Gibson vs the $550 EC400vf (prices in 2006).

      it's funny I sold a Gibson LP Trad Pro from 2011 to Guitar Center to potentially trade in (was willing to take the resale hit) and I got a supreme lowball since they thought it had a repair (was bought brand new). Still today I'm hesitant to buy Gibson since even on Gibson forums in 2021 people still say they've had wonky qc issues. I do love Gibson 57/57+ pickups though.
