ESP LTD TL-7 Black

800€ guitar (1000 at original price) that comes with two 2nd strings (yes, it came with repeated strings), doesn't come with an easy access for the battery, when it's the only thing that needs a cavity for, and that lid is impossible to open without forcing the instrument. Good luck not scratching your recently purchased 1k guitar. By the way, it comes with NO battery inside. The frets were awesome but that's as much as it gets, the sound is muddy and the intonation is awful. Also it doesn't keep in tune for more than a few seconds, and due to the repeated string, no tuner gets it. Also the pickup sucks, you can clearly feel the difference in volume output in each string. This last thing is a common issue in this instrument, I don't know how can people be so delusional.

Really cool guitar, but it’s lacking a little in the finer details. For example, when you remove the truss rod cover, there’s quite a lot of glue and some messy finishing underneath.

That said, it’s a great-looking guitar. The action is quite high out of the box, but that can easily be adjusted. All in all, it’s a really nice instrument, and the acoustic pickup sounds very good.

One thing worth noting is that, when it isn’t plugged in, it’s surprisingly quiet—more like an electric solid-body guitar than an acoustic. It’s also fairly heavy, weighing about the same as a Les Paul/335, so that’s something to bear in mind.
