    Re: My ESP LTD Grynch is coming on Friday

    Well, any pictures you see of this guitar WILL NOT give it justice.

    First off, I bought it from Drum City Guitar Land, if you ever have the chance to buy a guitar from them, DO IT, I got lots of extras, including 20 picks, an extra set of strings, an ESP Catalog, a soon to come ESP T-Shirt, etc.

    This guitar came with a COA signed by James Hetfield himself and I got the NUMBER 5 GRYNCH!!! The serial no. is on the base of the headstock, G005.

    Specs: Mahogany body, maple set neck, rosewood fretboard (24 frets) with abalone dots and GRYNCH at the 12th, head/neck binding, locking Sperzel tuners, tonepros tuneomatic bridge, 1 vol/1 tone/3-way switch + EMG Afterburner boost system, EMG-81 bridge/EMG-60 neck.

    This guitar has my favorite graphic of all time, black color with green hot rod flames all over it...the body/headstock/back/neck/back of headstock, EVERYWHERE BUT THE DANG FRETBOARD!!! I love this graphic! In some shades of light it even sparkles...

    I think I've covered pretty much everything...as you know, this guitar IS an ESP LTD, which means I'm pretty sure it's made in Korea...but it's hard to say. This guitar has A FLAWLESS, I MEAN PERFECT setup. It says nowhere on the guitar where it was made, it's probably Korea, but if I knew nothing about this guitar and you tried to tell me it was made in the USA in a custom shop, I'd believe you! It plays perfectly and flawlessly.

    The neck is comparable to a Gibson Explorer I played a while ago...not as thin as Ibanez/Jackson but not as fat as the Gibson Boatnecks. It's at a middle ground width that is very comfy.

    The EMGs sound great. A great sound for the low B. The 81 is awesome for distorted chugginess, and the 60 is fine for clean tones, but also a warmer lead sound.

    Stays in tune well, due to the locking Sperzels.

    Anyways, overall, this is an AWESOME guitar and all I spent on it was about $800-$900. High end LTD guitars like this are STEALS, I would suggest them to anybody, including you guys. I think this baby plays awesome, and I really wanna try the LTD Deluxe EC1000 and Viper models to see how good they are.

    Bottom line, kick ass guitar, kick ass price, I am one lucky man.

    PS-I don't really know a lot of songs for the B tuning...yet...when Metallica's St. Anger comes out however, I'll LEARN EM ALL!!! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
    Also, I will get pics next week and I'll need someone to host em, please.

      Jason is awesome. The reason your guitar is so wonderful is because he set it up, exactly how it should be. He'll even set a regular guitar up for low tunings...all you gotta do is ask. And he'll get all ready before he ships it to you.

          wheres YOUR pics!?!? Those other ones are ****ass quality!

          nice deal on that axe, you'd expect those to go for more than that, looks f*in sweet, but I'd have no place for a baritone other than to get different dynamics by setting it up tuned to standard or Eb
