NGD: The Snakebyte has landed

[Jaymz]

A real PITA to photograph as its so shiny and lush!

Few cons ive noticed straight away....it wont sit on a regular rack guitar stand & I didn't get a hard case even though I paid nearly double what somebody from the US would pay and they STILL get a hard case...not impressed.

But the actual guitar itself is immense....these don't do it justice....*at* all

 

[Harry Hughes]

Congrats mate
The first and last photos are so weird, looks like the top, unwound strings are EVEN THICKER tha the bottom strings if you look at the area where the pickups are haha

 

[phisk]

nice!

 

[Jaymz]

Haha yeah it does look that way Harry, its all in the light

Must say for the price the quality control at ESP isn't exactly great....theres some "blemishes" on the paint work on areas of the neck where the fret dots go. Along with a bit of scuffing on one of the tuners...no biggies and im sure ill end up wearing the finish on the neck off a little bit over time but still...geeeez!

 

[Ola Englund]

really nice man... there is just something about explorers that does it for me...

 

[Derpsicle]

Love that guitar!

 

[Jaymz]

A few bits that if anybodys considering buying one they might not have info on from other websites: *will be updated as I find*

- No tone knob, vol pot for neck and bridge pups.
- Can't "really" sit in the classical position with it.

We have the same tv

Cool guitar! I like the fret inlay.
How much did you pay for it?

 

[Danihell]

Congrats, nice guitar, love the headstock.

 

[Skinny Viking]

sitting in "classical" position is overrated

so are fixed bridges

beautiful guitar mate!

 

[Lasse Lammert]

if it didn't have that weird/gay cutout at the bottom it'd look fantastic....I just can't get over that carved out bottom though, sorry

That is what explorers are for

 

[crillemannen]

Nice guitar man

 

[Jaymz]

More love for it than I expected! Though you can never go off the "pro" pictures the sites put up. It feels, plays & sounds like a weapon!

Lasse, thats fair....coming from a chap with a bright orange V with silver pickups hehehe :Smokedev:

haha...cunt!

I'm an absolute Explorer fan (4 of my first guitars were explorers)....so I'm very religious about the shape.

loving the headstock tho!

 

[DigitalMetal]

Congrats !
The only LTD ive got from the 4 i own that came with a hard case, was my Baritone Viper, even my top of the line Viper Bass didnt come with one and that was near on £800
All my ESPs came with them though.
