Very good quality video man. Like the honest review and not hyping about this guitar just because you bought it. Like the content and helps a lot by taking serious decision on buying this guitar. Thanks man, keep up!
Great video. I have a big collection of guitars. Japanese and American stuff. My go to guitar right now is a LTD256 with a Pearly Gate in the bridge. So balanced...easy to play...and sounds killer. Cheers from Ohio
Gotta say man your playing and chording specifically is chefs kiss, yoi got yourself a sub. Keep friggin rockin dooder. What did you use for the modeling for the amps?
Great review and beautiful playing!I'd like to ask you this.From your experience with ESP/Ltds does this guitar have the same neck as the Ltd EC-401..?All of them are listed as 'thin U' on their site but the truth is that the EC-401s have a rounder neck while the more expensive models such as the EC-1000s tend to have more of a flat, thinner, easy-to-play neck.A matter of preference of course, but sometimes you feel like there's something 'missing' , as if you had replaced the neck on a les paul with an Ibanez Super Wizard one..!Thank you!
Hey man, thank you for checking out the channel! It’s been almost a year since I owned my last 401 so I can’t say with absolute certainty, but I can say that they’re so similar that I haven’t noticed a difference. That may not be the case if you were to inspect them side by side, but from what I remember, they’re very very similar necks.
I literally just came across your video bro. Holy cow you are such an awesome musician. If you want to keep it a secret I understand. Just want to know how you get your tones brother, especially at the 3 minutes and 18 seconds mark. Wow!!!! Subscribe for sure!
Thanks for checking out the video! I haven’t tried those pickups but I’ve heard great things! I’d love to check a pair out sometime so I could do a fair comparison. I’ll add that to the list of future vids! Thanks for the idea 😂
I own that guitar, if that's a typo and you meant to type "SG" instead of "SD".. It has the Sentient & Pegasus pairing with the Evertune bridge and it's a Black Cherry Satin colorway rather than the other finish it was offered with last year.. So, as far as the pickups go, I can tell you this:They're tone monsters with a decently hot output for being passive and the amount character inherent in the voicings is incredibly distinct, with a decidedly vintage tone and an effortless pursuit of something like an Appetite for Destruction tone in the neck pickup during WOT volume and tone rolled all the way up at 10 as well.. The bridge is not super bright to the point where it loses the punchy midrange thats typically lacking in all but the hottest passive bridge pups (DimeRail, Invader, Super Distortion, etc) and it will hold its own next to any of those, yet it suffers the same fate as any other passive pup when it comes to the comparison to damn near any decent active pup at which point the lack of brutal "punch" midrange necessary for true "chug" becomes noticeably unaccounted for, just impossible to fake it regardless of how much preamp and overdrive wattage you're running through the cab from glowing red hot tubes in the head... It's gonna be a sad little weewee next to the veiny monster of an active pup, destined to watch from the sidelines as any active pup stretches your ol' ladys walls and bottoms out in her cervix, making a passive pup feel like an overgrown clit in comparison.. It's just not badass enough to hang with brutal metal yet it has its strengths which are TONE for the same effect as the actves have in punch and leaves the actves feeling like the shamed cuckolds watching as the passives destroy ass and require genital reconstructive surgery when their done with it in the tone dept.. That's why I say I'm impressed with the Pegasus & Sentient pups as passive as they are, they'd not be a slouch in the vaginal destruction
Hey buddy thank you for the video. im into play mostly riffs from the big four(mainly metallica and megadeth. Do you recommend still this one or with EMG one
Hey man, thank you for checking out the video! I’m a big fan of the fluence pickups now, but if you can find one with EMGs that is a bit more affordable, I think that’d be awesome too. I really love these fluence pickups though!
@@JustinTutor Thank you for amswering and helping me out. If you had the same guitar with both emg and fluence, which pickups would you prefer to play the metallica’s songs?
No problems at all there. I will say, I once had an EC-401, and it also stayed in tune really really well! LTD is just making some really solid guitars! Thank you for checking out the video!

I think fluence pickups have a better grit for low end djent but EMGs typically have a little more fullness for more chord-based rock/metal

Thanks for checking it out, man! I agree. LTD makes some incredible guitars.
@@JustinTutor I agree. Cheers

What about harmonics, pinch especially? I play a lot of Pantera, killswitch style music. How are those pickups for squealy pinch harmonics?
Hi, your left iris seems dilated, just letting you know you should get that checked out! Great video 👍
What does the “S” stand for?

Hey man, thanks for checking out the video!
Awesome review! How do you think this compares with the EC1000 with the SD Sentient and Pegasus pups?

@@onattas2347 definitely EMGs for Metallica!
Thats a sub!!
I have this guitar. it's nice. I try to get high gain tone for solos, but it seems to me high compressed. any suggest?
EC1000 Fishmans or the EMG81 Version ?
This is actually my first guitar with the fluence pickups and I’ve been totally satisfied with it. I do loooooove an 81 in the bridge though!
How’s the intonation on this guitar?
you mean from the factory? Because that part can be adjusted.
I had this guitar and surprisingly it's intonated &set up perfectly. Well done, Korea.
How's the tuning stability?
No problems at all there. I will say, I once had an EC-401, and it also stayed in tune really really well! LTD is just making some really solid guitars! Thank you for checking out the video!
What does S mean?
Sexy
Sucker
I have this guitar it's sick!
Yeah man I love it! Thanks for checking out the video, Daniel!
How heavy is that guitar?
Lighter than a gibson a bit heavier than a ibanez gio
Neck profile?
Did you write all of the songs you have been playing lately in your intros? They are great!
Thanks Ariana! Yep! All of the music featured recently has came from the ol’ noggin here haha.
Why in a sterling box that’s the real question. Just being in that box makes the tuning stability drop 5 points. Lmao
...ESP LTD in a Sterling box...must've ordered from Guitar Center
Reverb actually ha! I’m a secondhand guy any time I can find a deal!
Whats the country of origin of this beautiful bad boy? China or indonesia?
Indonesia
