I did its a pretty uglee axe , but it grows on you, I played the LTD version played real nice , Id love to see the ESP version , The dude at the store says theres no difference cept one says ESP and costs alot more and the other is a LTD and goes for 900 . any one out there play it , any opinions
That guy is liar and just wants to sell it and make comission. Never believe a word thoes guys say. Than again he might very well just be dumb.
the dude at the store was just trying to sell you the guitar. There has got to be a differance if it costs more, one of them I think might be the fact that ESP's are made in the US and not in korea like the LTD's. Id imagine the woods are differant also, i dont like the paint job on those things. Isnt it just like any other ESP Eclipse except with a gay paintjob?

ESPs are made in Japan.

maybe its me but the description is almost verbatim , same woods same fingerboard etc, Awhile back I bought the LTD DV8 a great guitar BTW, but the difference between the ESP version was that had a ebony fingerboard as opposed to the LTD having rosewood .
Now there is a difference between the ESP eclipse and LTD EC-1000 , which is also a mint guitar for under a grand,
So I agree there has to be somewhat of a difference, right ???? :beer:
Build quality. Use all the same materials, but if you give thoes materials to luither and to a machine, which will come out better?
theyre pieces of shit, dont get conned into buying either of those fucken shit.

I dont know I have several ESPs and the LTD DV8 , they play pretty good to me, Why do you say they are P.O.S.
What brand do you think is better , Not jackson after Fender bought em , you know Fender wil run jackson into the ground.
Im serious , im curious why u say that , I know the LTD EC-1000 are great for under a grand. :beer:

Yea I wasnt sure if it was the US, but I knew it wasnt some shitty place like korea or tiawan.

Not every guitar from Korea is shit. It may not be set up right, but god forbid replacing some stuff and changing the settings on it. I dunno. I just see everyone trash them.
But to stay on topic: I would not play that piece of shit if it played like a dream.

Dont get me wrong my Les paul and Explorer were korean and they play very well. I just say korea is shitty cause techincaly in the large scale of things they are the main mass producer of poorley crafted cheaper guitars.

right, ESPs are shit.
theyre not worth the money.
i bought 2 V350s for LESS than the price 1, only koz theyre blakk and i love Vs.
so now, im saving for a custom, dunno whos gonna make it yet, but quality counts.

get a JH-600 instead :beer:
im joking but, i dont like Tele/Les Paul style bodys, i dont like James' playing style, and i down right hate Metallicas newer stuff... sorry, not my cup of tea, not even close...
I don't like LP's with stupid-ass paintjobs. If I ever got an LP it would be either black or have some woody/flamed natural finish or something.
The only ESP sig I like is the DV-8, that one is built quite well and doesn't seem very overpriced.
