NGD ESP and TCM!!!!

Played a gig Saturday night. I brought the McInturff and the ESP. I started off with the McInturff. At the end of the show I still had the McInturff in my hands. Its an amazing guitar that does everything perfectly. Terry McInturff calls his guitars tools. If you ever played one you would understand why. The way this guitar resonates it almost sounds like a semi hollow. Its amazing. Instant harmonics, incredible sustain, its loud as a F!!!! It has perfect intonation and the action is so low with no buzzing that I had to raise it a little. The custom shop custom wound Dimarzio's are the best sounding pickups I have ever heard.
BTW... a little thing about the ESP EC-1000 Deluxe. It has that Earvana nut on it. It has perfect intonation that is dead on all the way to the 24th fret. Once the guitar is in tune I can play chords anywhere on the neck and they are always in perfect tune. This is a fantastic system.

Terry was the guy that came up with the Hamer Mirage.
His designs have that family look and his quality is awesome.

Can't say anything about the ESP as I never tried one.

Nice ones! Not too crazy about all the abablone on the ESP, though.

It may look blingy.. too blingy for me but the women love it and it plays and sounds fantastic. Those are the only things that matter to me.

Well.. its been almost 3 months of gigging almost every weekend and these 2 guitars are what I take to every show. There isn't a single weakspot with either guitar. If any of you ever get a chance to play a McInturff.. do it. My Glory Standard is the most incredible piece of wood with strings on it that I have ever owned or played. It is actually better than a few extremely high end PRS Dragons I have owned. The strings literally resonate through the body and neck. You can feel it. It almost reacts like a chambered guitar. It sounds and feels calibrated to 440!!! I know thats my opinion but....

The ESP EC1000 Deluxe is an amazing bang for the buck LP styled guitar. Its blingy but the tone is amazing, its perfectly balanced and it plays like a dream.
