Beautiful guitar, I'm very happy about it but there are some issues...
My Floyd Rose nut would not lock the 1st and 2nd strings because the head mounting screw is too high, higher than my string, so the locking nut is clamping down on the screw instead of the string, I received a replacement because of this issue but it had the exact same issue! Currently I've contacted ESP about this since Thomann obviously isn't responsible for this but beware there may be a bad batch of guitars out there right now.
The sound of the pickup is a little underwhelming for metal without the boost that Alexi uses, a bit muddy and thin, replaced it with a SD Black Winter pickup and now it sounds like a beast!
Looks are subjective but I'm totally in love with this thing!
The build quality (aside from the bad locking nut) is good, the paint job is near perfect and the neck feels really comfortable.
The guitar does not have that many features but i personally don't need any of that and prefer the clean look of guitars like this with just a single pickup and a volume knob and that's it, so for me that's a good thing.
I would really recommend this guitar but beware the possible issues it has now!
