ESP ltd EC-50 sound test

[carlosaglez1]

I'm thinking in buying one like this(to enter in humbucker mic) and 24 frets..but, there is a way to adapt a tremolo bar to this model of ESP???

[emersedshadow]

@carlosaglez1 No 

[NFSPlay3r]

What do you play at 0:17 ? I can't remember the name :(

[merqury5]

@NFSPlay3r IM not really playing a song, Im just using the same techniqe john petrucci used in the opening of a song on one of the Liquid Tension Experiment albums. If you enjoy insane guitarplaying I highly recommend those albums.

would it be easy to install emg 81/60s in this. is there room for the battery?

[merqury5]

@5thhokage113 that would be quite allright

[Rysee88]

@5thhokage113

My EC-50 has the Zakk Wydle EMG's. Easy fit and makes it an awesome axe. Comfy to play and sounds awesome

[merqury5]

@mentosman1 thats kind of a given in this pricerange. Doesnt matter much though.

[mentosman1]

its a bolt on neck not only can i see the join i know someone who has one...= fail to you.

[lijawan0]

11's are hard to bend? I bend the fuck out of my 12's. And I never tune lower than standard with them.

[merqury5]

This gtr does have largw frets but that really makes it quite easy to shred since the action can be really low but i can still really dig into it. So dont worry about that. Ibanez shredders have jumbo frets, great for bending.

[sykhophaunt7]

this guitar has jumbo frets right ?? does that mean that the action getes really high ?? is it easy to shred at higher frets ??

[Beloguroff21ukr]

if i have watched this video first i would have bad impression about this guitar..

[NatPradoTheory]

i've never seen one in that color before

[SASchertz]

Drop C?

[RavenMadd9]

put some emg pickups in her ....just keep playing everyday ...ignore the negative comments always!

[UnoDelDIM]

I would add that this guitar is definately not suited for heavy distorsion. If you want to get into Thrash, Punk, HM, etc.. THIS IS NOT YOUR GUITAR... I've heard of people upgrading the pickups for that, but what is the point.. your'e better off with and Ibanez type.. Now, for clear and light compression effects, this guitar is easily misteaken for something that costs 3x. It produces Rich warm tones. Top choice for anyone looking for cheap blues or jazz gear. I've had one for 3 yrs now.

[pivetlord13]

is the size of the body smaller than the other LTD ECs? ya know, cuz its called esp ltd "50"?

[TheTwistedxmexican]

dude u needa get a new amp or turn it up cuz it dont sound good to me and i got the same guitar and in red and it sounds alot better and heavier to me but it might be the amps what kind u got

[merqury5]

@TheTwistedxmexican You are right, it certainly would sound better through a proper amp. For this vid I only had an old zoom processor and my desktop speakers therefore the strange sound and all. But I do think the guitar could do a good job through a cranked amp. In my view one needs some feedback through the amp to really play.

[hantunescafe]

i have this one too u know...yup its the cheapest EC series but it totally awesome piss of shit to rock on

[heavymetalpwns]

musiciansfriend says it has 22 frets but i see 24

[SwaggaBoy666]

U suck at guitar

[merqury5]

@SwaggaBoy666 that depends on who you compare me with, Im much better than my mother, but a flaming idiot in comparison to the great petrucci. If you dont like my playing thats fine, but you should rather say that you dont like it, not that I categorically suck. Have a nice day.

[projectspillman]

@merqury5 dont you just hate all the people who say u suck but in reality they probly dont even know 1 chord on guitar. therefor they suck and ur better than them lol

[Rawson1209]

@SwaggaBoy666 That's pathetic.

[ncemt]

@SwaggaBoy666 Why don't you post a video of you playing! Who knows you may say he sucks because you're jealous and wish you could play like him! If you post a video let me know. Who knows I might think you suck! Guitar isn't about who's better than everyone else. If you play guitar to be better than other and not because its fun, you have no business picking up a guitar! That guitar could have gone to someone who plays because it's fun to make their own music.

[zachb1997]

24frets!!!!!! :D

[sgogiz1]

is it a set neck?

[merqury5]

@sgogiz1 its glued yes.

[sgogiz1]

@merqury5 nice

[locohellraiser]

@sgogiz1 no its a bolt on neck...

[XWEDarkAngel]

@sgogiz1 He must've glued it then. The EC-50 is a bolt-on neck. just FYI

[09phillt]

iof i bought this and fitted a set of emg 81's/85's would it sound good for breaking benjamin style music

[jeserty6]

I have played these at school. Better than I EVER Thought!

[DarkFire2313]

how good is it compared to epi les paul standard?

[merqury5]

Basically I'd say its a lower level guitar than the epi. Well made, but simpler. Its not in the same niche if you know what I mean. Furthermore the ESP is clearly set up to be a metal guitar for young beginners. While the Epi is a watered down edition of whats really more of an allround instrument. I've played the epi on several occasions and they feel alot different to this, much more les paul'ish. The ESP feels like almost an Ibanez RG guitar with a fixed bridge and les paul'ish looks.

[manolovillacritica]

@merqury5 You got the perfect camera angle right there! yeah
