FRIDAY NITE BOOYA
Title of Equipment: ESP LTD EC-300
Price Paid / Price New: $450/???
Year Manufactured: 2002
Specs:
Set neck(24.75")
Mahogany body
Mahogany neck/Rosewood fretboard
Flag inlays
Tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece
24 xj frets
EMG Hz H-1 set(passive)
2 volume, 1 tone, 3-way toggle

Sound: 4/5
Some hum when I got the guitar, lowered the bridge pickup a little bit and it went away. Sounds good for metal and fine clean, but sounds a bit too gainy when I play stuff like Led Zeppelin.

Quality: 4/5
No real problems with the guitar outisde of the humming. Feels solid.

Playability: 5/5
Oh man, if there is one thing I love about this guitar its how great it feels to play. It feels better than almost every other guitar I've ever played(the exception being a Godin SD). I just love everything about the neck. Its not too wide or thick and its extremely easy slide your hand down. The action I lowered a tiny bit and after that it plays like a dream.

Overall: 4/5
The hum was slightly annoying and its a bit on the gainy side. All that aside it was a fine purchase and I don't regret it one bit.

ADBOT LOVES YOU
