LTD hybrid

I realise Iâ€™m probably behind the times on this one; I played one of these in Glasgow today (whilst waiting on my wifeâ€™s clothes shopping spree to end). Iâ€™m not usually a fan of ESP guitars but these I like very much (appart from the headstock).

Love it. Love the stock too. Though I'm an ESP fan in general.

Oh; It also says Hybrid on the 12th fret marker which is a bit naff

Better than a tribal dragon or some other such nonsense. The rest of teh guitar looks good enough that I'm willing to let that slide.

Ooh. Now then. I like that. Whoever it was posting about the Big Black guitar would do well to look at one of these.

Apparently these came out in 2006 (why didnâ€™t anyone tell me?). Played like a tele plus, very low action, Â£699 second hand and it was the sunburst version which (strangely as I usually prefer the sunburst) is my least favourite finish.

Honestly esp makes damn good guitars. Everyone I ever played has played like a dream, super smooth. Even the ones that I would never ever consider buying and playing that they make played well.

I had an ESP goldtop Les paul with p90's that I thought was miles better than the epi ones or other knock offs out there. Only ESP I ever had, but it was great and was like 299 new or something relatively cheap like that. I just hated the headstock.

The guitarist in our band is rocking a low-end ESP SG-style guitar at the moment. It was only really meant as a stand-in, but it's really grown on us. The only "complaint" any of us have is that it looks a little too metal, and the pickups slide a little too easily into "metal" territory, so it's wise to keep an eye on the gain. But it's a very nice guitar (and couldn't really be sniffed at for Â£50).

Looks really nice. Body shape reminds me of a Wilshire.

a viper 50

also played one of them today not too shabby for Â£199 but like you said a bit too metal.

I'm just gonna say it. I love metal guitars. Not the crazy pointy bc rich shit, but I'd rock a schecter c-1 or a ESP ph600 in a second.

My main guitar right now is a squier m-80. The M stands for METAL!

Suck it fenderbots.

Was me and I've played one sounds well sweet. Found the bridge pickup (JB) too bright though.

I think they're discontinued?
