"Your Metal Messiah"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Volume and tone knobs as well as standard distorted, 80s thrash- electric, and this cool muffled-sounding pickups. No whammy bar sadly (which is why I docked a mere point) but for the price and knowing this is an LTD it's no wonder. Still not necessary though, this thing's great.

Quality:
It's an ESP-meaning they still take their guitars seriously even though this is in their LTD product line. This guitar can take a beating and give it back. I really love this thing.

Value:
$230 for a guitar this great? Definitely.

Desirability:
It screams bada$$. For those of you who are tired of Stratocastor look-a-likes, the EX50 is too cool for even random groupies. Rock on.

Sound:
If you can play this thing can deliver. I've covered perfect renditions of Iron Maiden and a buddy of mine covered Angel of Death on this thing so well I thought Kerry King and Hanneman were in my house. Sounded way better than a friend's Gibson. With a nice amp and effects the EX50 can stand up to top-of-the-line guitars.

Support:
I honestly can't answer because I never needed help-the guitar was just too awesome for breaking.

Overall:
Until I can cover Slayer solos or something to that equivalent there's no reason to get another guitar. With some nice effects this axe will slaughter the masses with its metal militia.

"the best bang for the buck"

Feature:
i love the placement of the cut away i can hit the high notes alot easier then on a "normal shaped electric"

Quality:
i give it a 5 cause both my knobs broke off after the 4th day of owning it, also straps love to come off on this guitar so i recommend strap locks

Value:
for the price its outstanding

Desirability:
i have no clue its just a great guitar for a great price

Sound:
i chose 8 because i havent been able to use a good quality "crunch" amp on it b4. i have a little marshall mg15cd. i run a zakk wylde pedal and "the weapon" from digitech and let me tell you this thing sounds awesome, itll rip your head off with a bunch of distortion

Ease of Use:
very very easy to use

Support:
have not used it yet
