Alright so I do webdesign for a few people one of my latest being of course Baron Custom Amps.
An author had up for sale/trade his guitar. One of the trades he was looking for was webdesign so I got too it. This is what I got in return.
Guitar Specs:
Mods: This guitar was modded kinda heavy.
Review:
Alright, I've never played an ESP/LTD guitar in my life so getting this in the mail before trying was going to be different I knew it. I honestly expected the neck to be a bit thicker but it's pretty similar to the RG7x21 series as I've owned a 7620 and a 7421. I always hated the tune-o-matic bridges but I'm starting to get used to it. I'm really used to flat bridges and lo-pro bridges.
The tonezone actually sounds pretty good through my K88. It nice and full unlike my other guitars and really roars. The Air Norton is also a nick smooth neck pickup but has some bite to it as well which I like. Makes soloing not so bland.
Anyway just feel wise if you are looking at a MH-417 pick it up, it's a nice guitar, the neck is smooth and plays so fast. This guitar really changed the way I feel about ESP and I actually am really liking this guitar.
