    Best Axe For Da Money

    By Harry Cho

    from Illinois

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    I think there is not a better guitar for the money. This guitar was made in Indonesia and setup in LA, california. I paid a pretty good price, but the guitar is still a great value. I highly recommend ESP guitars based on my experience. Again the pickups are good for clean and metal, but I prefer a better crunch or brown sound. I wish the nut width was a bit wider. This way I can hold the chords better high up on the neck. The bolt on neck gives me options for the future.
    I did like the head stock that I got which is more squared in appearance.
    But there is a version of this guitar with a more pointy looking head stock which also looks pretty good.
    Quality Tone and Volume knobs, along with a solid feeling pickup selector toggle switch.
    Dual humbucker pickups are ok for clean and metal, but I don't think it has the right crunch about it.
    The tuners are pretty good quality.
    The 25.5" bolt on neck is maple with a nice finish.
    The nut is 42mm wide, and I think I prefer 43.72569387542mm give or take a nanometer for my averaged sized hands.
    The basswood body is black cherry finish which I think is awesome.
    I read basswood are lighter guitar body material but I did not notice too much compared to alder and agathis.
    The string through with a hard tail bridge seems pretty solid with good sustain.
    I liked the one I decided to keep, but I did have to send the first one back because the setup was pretty bad. I assume that ESP has more than one guitar guru setting up the guitars.
    It's not that I couldn't do the setup myself. It's just I had better things to see, etc...
    This guitar is much better looking in person than in the catalogs or internet pictures.
    Now I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but this guitar functioned right off the bat without
    problems.
    I did get this guitar knowing it was on sale and there was a scratch on the back of the neck when I inspected the one I decided to keep. But because everything overall was top knotch I give this the highest value rating. The only thing I see myself changing on this guitar is probably the strings, the pickups and maybe the neck; otherwise everything else is pretty solid.

    cant beat it for the price

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    Ive have had this guitar for about a year now and its awsome. Its really good if u play pantera or some black label society. its really balanced very well pickups are decent. the only thing i wasn't crazy about was the feel of the neck, so i took the neck off a LTD- Gus 200 and put it on the LTD- H51 and it made a HUGE difference. now it plays better than my Dean Razorback...Overall this guitar is worth the money...if you wan a good sounding and durable guitar BUY THE Ltd-51 you wont regret it promise

    Reasonable

    By Iron Maiden zombie

    from Pennsylvania, USA

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    No tremolo bar slot; tune-o-matic bridge is not the nicest and the action can be undesirably low, which is not good for a beginner, which this guitar clearly targets.

    Not bad...

    By Anonymous

    from Undisclosed

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    My friend owns this guitar and i got to use it for a couple shows and practices (my guitar isnt as easily to put into standard due to the tremelo so we needed a second guitar) and its not bad for a beginner. The tone pot is a little rough and uneven, the pickups are kinda muddy but if your a beginner you wouldnt notice the difference. The neck is nice and the body is light, great for a beginner and highly affordable.

    good drop tune guitar

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    this guitar is one of the best guitars i have ever played. and it is a good drop tune guitar. i play in drop B and use 13to59 gauge strings. but i had to file the nut to fit the strings on the guitar. the pickups have punchy tone and sustain. i got the blue guitar and it has a purple reflection. this is a good metal guitar and it real durable.

    ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar

    By Anonymous

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    This is a solid, great playing and great sounding instrument. It had Di'Addario's on it when I opened it up and it felt good in the hands. I ran through adjusting the truss rod and the bridge, and the intonation. ESP house pickups sound pretty solid, and pitch harmonics are pretty good. Overall this is a great guitar and one of the best available in this price range IMO. It offers great action, tone and pickup selector offers a variety of sounds for you, comfortable play as it is very light, keeps tuning well and sounds great. If you're looking for a first axe, or just want a nice quality instrument that plays well, this is a very good choice.

    Awesome

    Comments about ESP LTD H-51 Electric Guitar:

    This was my first guitar, and its still my favorite. Pitch harmonics are easy, good tone, VERY LOW ACTION, stays in tune, overall a very good guitar. This guitar is very versatile. I play in a jazz band, but I also play a lot of 80's metal to early hendrix and paige stuff, and this guitar will handle it all. BUY IT NOW.
