Synkronized,
Mine is the hanneman600. Its a absolute dud zero resonance despite a kahler as standard its as dead as a doornail. The frets are not level, to make the frets worse its got a neck that just wont straighten despite spending a week gradually adjusting it. It needs clamping and heat treating or something.
I would of stripped it and burnt it, but i was a big slayer fan until bostoff joined em. Like my Vintage Lemon Drop its more of a decoration then a instrument and hangs on the wall to look pretty, still as with my Lemon Drop i'd like to be able to take it down once in a while and thrash some, but its just unplayable. A £700 guitar that doesnt compare to my £230 jackson. Its my one internet (ebay)bought guitar, i'll never shop for a guitar online again.
ESP may be great, In the UK their japanese guitars are a ridiculous price. Clocking on average just over £1800. Thats stupid money for a japanese metal axe especialy when i could get a guitar made to my specs by hand in the jackson custom shop for about the same ammount.
As i always say every manufacturer makes a bad guitar every once in a while. With this thing they excelled emselves. Its worse then a 70's woolworths Kay guitar. I accept that i just got a bad one and that i shouldnt judge ESP LTD by this one guitar, but once bitten twice shy. They'd have to make some guitar for me to consider parting with my hard earned, after the wrong i suffered on this one.

Glad you like yours though, and i'll repeat to be clear. Esp or Esp Ltd are not bad guitar makers, i just got a dud.

That really sucks, and I am sorry to hear that. I was a big Slayer fan until Lombardo left, and a bit after with Bostaph as well, but I think the whole band was starting the downside of their careers at that point. Gosh I was slightly disappointed with Seasons, as I think SOH was their best followed by RIB. I may be in the minority on this, as most think RIB the best, but its my opinion anyway.

Did you know that Lombardo is back with Slayer and played on the last album? Its not as great as I hoped though. Did you here Lombardo on Testaments The Gathering? Some of his best work imho. I also liked some of the Grip Inc stuff. Lombardo is my favorite drummer

Yeah i got christ illusion, i dont like it or God hates us all. I think Diablous en musicka was better then both. I've got a bit of time for divine intervention too it reminds me of hell awaits a bit. Like you my favourite is SOH. Its hanneman at his most bludgeoning, i like RIB but i think i've had overkill of it. Whereas the dissonant eerie melodies on SOH set the album to a tee. I've never heard lombardo with anyone else though i agree he's by far the best rock/metal drummer around. Charlie Benante is so threatened by his prowess that when Billy Milano spoke to Dave, Charlie blew his top and quit SOD. I saw slayer with megadeth, testament and suicidal tendencies around 90/92ish. I went to the bar when testament were on. All that mathematical metal never grabbed me. Right in the pit for slayers seasons tour of england and megadeths rust in peace tour of england, i didnt walk much for a week after.

I saw Megadeth on the RIP. It was general admission and the craziest show i have seen. There was a sofa on fire in the street before the concert. Beers being thrown at cops...then inside I must have got kicked in the head several times. At one point some dude is literally trying to pull my coat off my back in the pit. crazy stuff...I'm too old for all that these days
