ESP LTD Phoenix Black Metal BLKS

Indonesian 2024, owning several Ltd 1000 (M, MH, SN, middelton JM 2, and Edwards), i can tell that this axe is awsome. Never received an instrument with such perfect factory settings, i must always set a few things, neck curve, action...) but this Time the guitar is litteraly ready to rock, with a big and précise metal sound). Playability is stuning, the finitions are perfect, frets are near the level or the best guitars i have, as a J Custom by Sugi JCRG, who is just better on the end level frets. The fishman fluence does the job perfectly on the 2 voives, both very exploitables and depending of the style of metal you are playing. I thought i would receive a b stock style for 699 euros, and this one is flawless and unplayed right out of the box. If you are looking for a simple, very efficient metal guitar,this one will not disapooint. Incredible price for such a quality and high level appointements. It's not mentioned, but i can confirm that the frets are stainless steel. The ebony board is perfect and slick. It's much more on the heavy side compared with the M, MH and jmii, but the sound is sensibely fuller and heavier, with still plenty of attack and punch.
I heard that the Indonesien made were still not to the level or corean, and i now strongly disagree with that. Objectivity speak for itself, as i was prepare to find some weak things...and stricly nothing bad to say after inspection and hard playing!
