New guitar day (pic heavy)
« on: October 24, 2007, 12:59:20 PM »
Was in discussions with Feline but i really couldn't afford one of his beautiful guitars at this point. So i went searching for a different guitar with the same kind of great spec but lower priced (i know extremely hard to find)

However, i found something that fits it perfectly :D

ESP LTD EC1000 Deluxe



















Specs:

Set-Neck / 24.75"
Mahogany Body w/ Flamed Maple Top
3-Pc. Mahogany Neck / Rosewood Fingerboard
Earvana Compensated Nut / 42mm
Flag Inlays
24 XJ Frets
Aged White Binding
Chrome Hardware
Sperzel Locking Tuners
Tonepros T3B-T & T1Z Locking Bridge + Tailpiece
Seymour Duncan JB / 59

I am not the biggest fan of the traditional Les Paul feel (bad upper fret access imo), so i went for this as it's more suited to my style/tastes which fixes that e.g. 24 frets/upper fret access cutaway, body contour, 3 knobs instead of 4.
I can't stand bad tuning either so with Sperzel, Tone Pros and Earvana i should be alright :D (that was not to do with traditional LP's btw)

Gorgeous mate, great pickup combination too.

I'd sooner have that over a Gibbo LP any day of the week - higher quality parts, better construction.

Looks nice, I've been meaning to try one of the ESP LP shapes for a while but not gotten around to it.

I'm phoning the Police, you just totally robbed that seller!

How's the neck profile? Is it more a 50's or 60's thickness? *prays you say the slimmer 60's*

She's a beauty and from the sounds an absolute bargain but why must they varnish the necks :evil: .

Amazing value there! not quite my cup of tea, strays too far away from traditional LP-ism. ESP finishes seem to be quite consistent

Haha i know it was amazing, i couldn't believe my luck!
And yes it's the slimmer 60's style, on ESP's site it says Neck Type: Slim U or something.

I'm sorry, but I think that guitar looks like cr@p.






Just kidding! (Wanted to see how it felt to be a negative-posting jerk)


That is a very fine looking axe! You left out some important details -- fret wire size (XJ doesn't mean anything to me), fret board radius, and nut width.
