The latest in the line (.. does it ever end?). I was so incredibly pleased with my EC-401 I longed for more ESP, or ESP Ltd, in my collection. From the days of early thrash metal I’ve wanted a guitar with a reversed headstock, but the ones on the Jacksons always seemed a bit to […]

One look at this smashing Les Paul look-a-like, and you’ll know that this heavy metal monster has a lot, a whole lot more to offer than a Les Paul wanna-be! Featuring active EMG 81 (B) / 60 (N)  humbuckers, mahogany set neck-body construction, and 24 XJ frets, this guitar was built to rock.. I’ve used […]

This is the Korean made Paul Reed Smith SE Custom. I’ve played two USA versions of this guitar, and to be honest: the USA version is better sounding, stays in tune a WHOLE lot better (it just stays in tune, okay?) but soundwise I don’t think I would ever spend the eight-fold amount of money […]

I found this guitar on a second hand site on the internet. Kind of dodgy, I couldn’t quite figure out whether this was a “real” Epiphone that hadn’t passed quality control (some minor details in the guitar’s finish weren’t quite up to par), or that this was a “genuine” made in China product. Despite the […]
