Epiphone Prophecy Futura Custom FX (Floyd, EMG-81/85 Pickups) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll be honest. I don't think this guitar is for everyone. Other than receiving the actual guitar in a mess (de-tuned, very very very low action, ridiculous unplayable buzzing and offset bridge etc, etc....don't worry... did not buy it from this particular seller XD), After i got it fixed, it played excellent. I can't judge it too harshly because i've been playing a jackson rr-3 for 2 years, and the floyd rose on thatparticular model of guitar is completely flush with the body, and i know most floyds are not, but rather raised, above the body. Also, the pick-ups are a bit too close together for my liking, and i have a really hard time getting harmonics out of the g-string, but that's just my experience, and i would say 'because of that' but i really don't know if that's the cause. And of course it's about twice the weight of an rr3 so you get a bit sore after a while, but i can't complain about that. Other than that, it has a nice fast neck, reasonably slim, plays nice, but pick-ups seem a bit over-responsive.

Schecter C-1 Classic Electric Guitar (3-Tone Sunburst) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi!I am going to cut through the chase. I've been playing for 30+yrs. And I've owned a lot of guitars.and to the best of my knowage this is as good as the guitars up in the thousnds.As far as looks ,playabilty,hardware,woods and performance ,most of all craftmenship of beauty! For the price you are stealing it as far as Im concerned. A no Brainer! the only thing they could do is put a American Floyed Rose tremlo systemon it for good dive booms! but then you would have to get off of more cash. End of story I bought it and I couldn't be any Happyer! Because Im jamming to the bank sort of speaking." So Buy it you wont be sorry. Unless your just a EMG kind of man or Chick !

Product Description:
One look at the C-1 Classic and you'll be ready to pick it up and play. With its gorgeous quilted maple and transparent finish, intricate abalone "vine of life" fretboard inlay, and classic chrome hardware it's a sight to behold. The sound won't spoil the magic either--premium hardware like Schecter's new locking tuners, a TonePros TOM bridge, a classic pair of tasty Seymour Duncan humbuckers, and a speedy rosewood fretboard make this beauty ready to deliver, whether you're a jazz cat or a raging rocker.
A neck-thru-body beauty with killer tone and playability. Click to enlarge.


Seymour Duncan JB (SH-4) and Jazz (SH-2n) pickups deliver perfect tone.


Schecter locking tuners for added tuning stability.


Graph Tech "Tusq" nut for added richness and harmonics.


Built for Tone, With Looks to Match
The C-1 Classic features neck-through-body design for massive tone and sustain, and Schecter's "Ultra Access" for hitting those high frets. With its mahogany body and quilted maple top (highlighted by the transparent finish), it looks just as good as it sounds.The abalone "vine of life" completes the visual package, decorating the entire rosewood fretboard. The 25.5" scale maple/walnut neck boasts 24 jumbo frets and a crème binding, for playability and style.Seymour Duncan Pickups
In the bridge position is the SH-4, a hot-rodded humbucker that provides powerful output without losing highs. Great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal.The neck pickup is an SH-2n, which is a classic moderate output humbucker, with a full tone and a little extra sweetness in the treble region, great for fast runs and beyond.Schecter takes advantage of the coil-tapping on both pickups with their 5-way mega-switch, allowing various combinations of single- and double-coil and series/parallel settings for a variety of tonal options.Graph Tech "Tusq" Nut
The precision Tusq nut is made with Graph Tech's "man made ivory," which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play as hard as you want, bend a few steps, and your strings glide back into tune. The highly resonant material also means you'll get more richness and harmonics from every note.Dependable Hardware
The TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design means even more sustain and harmonics, and combined with Schecter's locking tuners gives you stable tuning and more control over your sound.

ESP LTD F50 Electric Guitar (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now, I wouldn't exactly say that the F-50 plays itself, but it's about the closest to it that I've ever seen.

From the very thin, fast neck to the solid tuners, to the 24 extra jumbo frets to the great sounding humbuckers... I can't think of a single thing that I dislike about this beasty. The short fret spacing makes notes and chords easier to reach, especially if you don't have freakishly long fingers.

It even looks terrific (especially if you're into metal). The goth-ish body styling probably wouldn't work for you if you're looking to play country, but if you're a rocker... this guitar's shape sets it apart from the million other strats around, and in black, it looks exceptionally evil.

ESP LTD MH250 Electric Guitar - See Thru Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is actually Vladimir's 15-year-old son (the guitarist/metalhead of the household, haha).We ordered this guitar two days ago, and it just came yesterday.(I'm VERY pleased with the speed of its arrival, but I'm in CT and American Musical Supply is in New Jersey, so this probably won't be the case for everyone.)It's pretty safe for me to say that this guitar is one of the best guitars I've ever played.(I've only been playing for two years, but I've tried out plenty of guitars.)The playability is great, the sound is awesome (and the pickups give good variety while still sounding great), it feels very sturdy and heavy, and the floyd rose is a LOT of fun to play with.It came in perfect condition, too.

The only thing is, the picture here looks slightly reddish, though the actual guitar is very black.Look on the ESP website for a better picture, but keep in mind the visibility of the (awesome) pattern depends a lot on the light.But that isn't even any sort of drawback, I'm just saying that this picture isn't quite what the guitar really looks like.

Overall, I am VERY satisfied with this guitar.This is only a first impression, and my opinion may change in the long run, but from what I've seen so far this guitar blows my other ones out of the water.If you're looking for a high quality guitar (with a fun floyd rose tremolo to boot) for a relatively low price, I'd definitely recommend this.

(My bandmates are REALLY jealous.)

ESP LTD KH202 Kirk Hammett Electric Guitar (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had my KH 202 for about four months now, and I have been very happy with it.It is a great looking instrument, and has a very balanced feel.The skull inlays are very eye-catching, and really give it that metal edge.The action was adjusted perfectly from the factory.Low and fast, easy to play.The licensed Floyd Rose trem works beautifully, and stays in tune better than my Dean hardtail.The EMG designed pickups have a good sound and tone range.I'm going to update them with a hotter passive EMG H4/H4A pair in the near future.If you are a Kirk Hammett or Metallica fan, this is your ticket for under 500 dollars.Even if you aren't, you will not be disappointed with this guitar.
