With an ESP ltd EC400VF. Sam Ash blowing them out at 539.00 its a 800-900 dollar guitar.i paid 450.00 cause it had a nice dent and chip in the finish on backside,but who cares for that price. i am really surprised how good it sounds through my Stiletto Deuce ll,Blue channel, Crunch mode ,and when i kick in the BB Preamp look out.Decent finish i have Fader Cherry Burst ,chrome hardware, ,JB in bridge,59 in neck.Get em while they last.

Congrats! I loved the one I played and even at $899 it's a cool guitar. At $500 it's a ridiculous deal...
 
The real question is how does it feel. ive been looking at a cheap LP type guitar for my coverband and I was actually looking at the Standard series. I really need to play one :rock:
 
im a Charvel guy and this thing feels great to me,i guess you just have to try it for yourself. its mohogany and weighs a ton,and just as thick as a Les Paul or at least damn close,Esp makes thin Paul stlye guitars but i was not even interseted in them.i really do love this guitar.had to drive an hour to get it ,the 2 Sam Ashes that were closest to me were sold out and i got the last one at King of Prussia,Pa. store.good luck
 
Hey, I'm about 45 mins to an hour south east of KOP. I'll have to check one out. :rock:
 
as far as i know they are gone or at least in the cherry finish,Franklin Mills is also sold out ,as well as my local store Cherry hill,nj. but you can always give em a call,im just tellin ya what i was told. hope you find one

I just got back from ash...Tried all the models and they absolutely KILL. Thanks for the heads up. When I get some cash, I will be buying a few for the new coverband :rock:

Just curious...I'm wonder if it's flat topped or arched, because the photo looks flat...

Sup Mike!!

I didn't see the $399 but I played the one that they are blowing out and the ec1000 model they had in purple lol :D
I really dug the ec1000 I played. What was odd is that before I saw this thread I was looking at the Eclipse standard which goes for $1499 and the $900 Ec1000 was so good that I don't think I'll persue the standrd series. The thing I noticed about all the ESP LP type guitars is that they feel and play very good compared to the lower end Epiphone and Gibson studios. The $1300 Gibson Studio was a freaking Joke compared to any of the ESP models. The Studio felt like a cheap POS whereas any of the ESP's felt like a $2000 + guitar. I was very surprised to say the least!

What's that super-strat.....THAT looks quite cool....is it orange?
 
The ESP/Ltd Eclipse guitars are pretty kick ass, especially for the money. I've owned an EC1000, played an EC400, and now have an ESP Eclipse II (*cough* for sale *cough*). IMO they are completely superior to their equal priced Epi and Gibby counterparts. I did think my Studio sounded a little bit thicker, but not a lot. Congrats on the new axe! :rock:
 
Oh man, that is sweet :thumbsup: nice score Mike :yes: Thats a badass charvel too
