My favorite guitar which I will have buried with me. However, I took the Blackouts out it immediately and put in some BKP Painkillers and it sounds like the voice of god through my ENGL Fireball 100 and ENGL E412XXL. If this guitar had a 27" baritone scale and came with some BKPs, there would be absolutely no reason to even purchase another guitar for the remainder of my life!!!

I agree. The Blackouts on this guitar sounded too muddy or undefined especially the bridge pickup. The neck is amazing however. It sounds like the bridge is over wounded or intentionally made to sound very hot. Great for heavy chugs but I still prefer to have some presence.

 

What strings and gauge do you use on it?

Earth-Worm-Tim

I like relatively light strings so I use Elixir Nanoweb 10-52 when I setup for anything Drop-C or higher. But when I wanna setup for C-Standard or below I use 11-56; however, with the 25.5" scale, I'd have to go heavier gauge to get to tune below Drop-A because it's pushing it with respect to playability in Drop-A with 11-56, but that's about as low as I've been able to go without dramatically effecting playability.

Great guitar but please bring out a Hardtail version in the LTD range.

Earth-Worm-Tim

Dude, ESP just released the LTD Deluxe Arrow-1007 Baritone Evertune and it sounds like something you may wanna checkout given your comment.

Jason O.

Just curious. This guitar offered without tremolo ? 

Todd B. ESP

Hi, It is not available in that configuration as a stock model, but you could order it with the build of your choice since it is made at the custom shop, it would just be built to order. Please contact your ESP Dealer of choice if you would like them to arrange this for you.

Is the black andromeda version still being offered as part of the original series?
