I bought the violet Andromeda finish. I've had this for several weeks now and I cannot stop staring at this guitar... It's absolutely gorgeous! Mine showed up safely packed in a double box, with plenty of packing materials. Very secure. It's flawless. Did I mention it is gorgeous?It's setup out of the box, was nearly perfect. I only had to lower the trem posts about 3/4 turn, to get the action exactly where I prefer it.The floyd rose 1000+ series is excellent! Stays in tune very well, even with crazy divebombs and heavy trem shenanigans. The Emg 81 and 85 pickup set, sound brutal for the metal shreds and chugs and live up to theirreputation. The thin U neck shape is extremely comfortable.Imo, this guitar feels like a guitar that should cost double what this does. ... MoreI bought the violet Andromeda finish.

It feels very high end.Might be the most comfortable V guitar I've ever played, due to the bevels on the body and the neck profile.If you're into V style guitars, you absolutely will not find a better one than this, anywhere near this price range.Just buy one. You won't regret it.

Beautiful guitar,top quality build, easy to play, & sounds amazing. I chose this over the Gibson Flying V and Jackson King-V. I play mostly hardcore. Hatebreed, Strife, Gorrila Bisquets, Cro-Mags. But when I plug it into my Blues jr. I can get great clean sounds. It's my new favorite. And as always AMS was a pleasure to deal with.

I'm just in awe, every time I look at it I can't just pass by without taking it off the wall and playing it. Very fast neck and the EMG 81/85 pickups scream. This is everything I imagined a metal guitar would be. AMS got it to me in perfect condition and with the 12 payment plan it let me leave my money in the bank and make budget friendly payments. Once again AMS delivers an impeccable guitar. I have 2 more guitars on my all time dream list and will order them both from AMS without hesitation.

I have never owned a more fun guitar to play. This guitar has everything. It looks amazing. It plays amazing. It sounds amazing. My only (minor) gripe is that there is a tad bit of fret buzz, but only if you play unplugged, which you'll never want to do with such a fantastic sounding guitar. Guitar comes loaded with the Daddario XL strings (tens I believe) and is set nicely in standard tuning. Beware that if you are wanting the hard shell case, the only one that fits perfectly is the ESP Alexi form fitting case from ESP, and it is not cheap.
This guitar is very well made. The balance is excellent, and it's lightweight. The fretwork is smooth, no sprouting. The Floyd is a good model, and installed correctly. It comes with 9 Gauge strings, and tuned easily, and played very well right out of the box. I play heavy music, so I replaced the strings with Cobalt 10-52s, adjusted the neck and trem, and added one of the supplied them springs (comes set up with 3 for the 9s). The double acting truss rod is very responsive, and all the Allen wrenches are also supplied. It really stays in tune well. I've beat, and hammered the snot out of it, and it stays true. Hang it on the wall, the next day it's still in tune. Really stable instrument! The EMG 81/85s are nice, and are the solder free type for easy swapping, ... MoreThis guitar is very well made.

Hang it on the wall, the next day it's still in tune. Really stable instrument! The EMG 81/85s are nice, and are the solder free type for easy swapping, however, I installed a set of Black Winter Seymour Duncans as I like the passives, but that's just me....but, the finish. The paint is absolutely amazing! There's not a picture that shows what it really looks like, and it's sick! Normally, it almost looks black, and depending on the angle and light, it's a demony purple to blue shift. I wasn't sure I would like it, but it's far exceeded my expectations.... My only complaint it that the case is bulky, and is the same case for all ESP Vs, however, it is well made..... It's a sick guitar.
Overall:This guitar is awesome. Fret dressing is immaculate. Painted neck is so smooth you'd swear it wasn't painted. And the finish is just a thing of beauty. Purple...blue...green..hints of red. The color is in the eye of the beholder..depending on the angle they are viewing from that is. If you like ESP/LTD you will love this guitar. EMG active pick-ups are packed full if metal but quite capable of tones to suit the most discerning music maker. I love it. No buyers remorse on this deal. I couldn't be more pleased. If you're on the fence just buy it...you won't regret it.
Red Beauty, how curvaceous art thou...actually, naw. She's sharp as a Chef Ramsey blade. I got my ESP LTD Arrow-100 Candy Apple Red for the unhindered reach to the higher frets, but love nearly everything else about it. The neck includes classic Randy Rhoads type inlays, a pleasure to look at while you're sweating it out on the frets. The top-shelf modern 'V' shape obviously came after much stylistic consideration and is something out of the best Sci-Fi movie, making the plain old V shape old and antiquated. And the sound? The EMGs deliver such powerful sweetness - even when clean - and simply brings a smile to the face. Harmonics are at play as the huge sound resounds. Those of you, like me, who love a great-sounding clean electric guitar will LOVE the ESP LTD ... MoreRed Beauty, how curvaceous art thou...actually, naw. She's sharp as a Chef Ramsey blade.

Finally, my only personal concern is, due to my picking style, I am having trouble staying off the Floyd. I love it for it's sensitivity but am considering getting another ESP LTD Arrow with no Floyd to more accommodate my particular bridge-hand style. I knew this going in, and didn't care because I don't have a Floyd on any of my guitars, wanted one, and Red Beauty is SOo pretty and sounds so good.
I always wanted a good quality RR Jackson left-handed but it never was offered. ESP/LTD this Year answer my prayers with this beautiful guitar. The tuning on the Floyd Rose tremolo are a bit hard to turn no big deal overall a good guitar
