hey, the dummy switch is b/c james gets original esp, ltd, or gibsons and he likes the switch on the bottom instead of the top, so he custom changes it himself
@JUSTINBRYAN yeah, the esp probably does have better quality wood but the only other real difference is the paint, if you'll notice, all LTD Trucksters have different designs on them which makes them 100% unique. i actually think the LTD truckster is cooler because of that. as for the "dummy switch" you can wire it to work, that's why there is a small plate under it that you can remove. it's a great guitar so if you're trying to decide between ltd and esp, i say go for ltd :) hope that helped
I dont get it... the ESP model goes in Hungary for 560.000 HUF (which is about $2500) and the LTD is 286000 HUF ($1300). How comes that they cost only $400 in the US? What the hell is going on here? :)))
you talk nice, but you can't play for shit, even if u take the guitar, and hit yourself over the head with it, you can't hit a note right, JERK OFF!!!
Hi I live in finland and theres no shop in here that has that guitar and I cant test it so I have to buy it from the internet so should I buy this guitar or should I travel to america to buy one LoL
if you really want it, then buy it, but if u have the chance to travel here and then buy it its better so you can try it out, t is a bit of trouble to buy a guitar and not like it
I want to buy a new guitar but I really can't choose between the LTD truckster (I'm gonna wait till the black one comes out) or the LTD kh-602, can somebody help me out?
the truckster is better for rhythm its easier to palm mute on and it has amore gibson-ish feel due to the scale length and mahogany body. the kh has a floyd and an alder body which is a little brighter so its generally better for a lead player. you should choose according to what you want in the end and try to play bith before you decide
dont get the LP they suck. I want to get the truckster. But yea it depends on what you play. If you play hard rock, heavy metal, get the truckster or eclipse ii. hope you choose well.
i was playing one of those a few weeks ago and i was just playing arond with the dumby switch and 2 days ago i got a letter from a guy in wesconson saying quit it lol
hahaha, this dude is hilarious! "can you guys feel it man?!!! i swear you can feel it in your chest!!" and he keeps turning it up. you are awesome dude! hahaha
haha very nice review man! I tried this guitar out in shop and I fucking love it!! I need help though, I can't decide between this or the Kirk Hammett signature. I prefer how James' plays, but Kirk's got a floyd rose which I need for lead play, but i definetely prefer how the truckster plays, any thoughts? Cheers man
Haha man I miss that guitar. I think it's funny you didn't take the Jack Daniels patch off! I'm suprised no one ripped on you hard for butchering the Sandman riff ;)
rofl, nice video man, haha, i got a laugh! That selector switch up top is a dummy switch, yes! The reason they put it on there is cause James had his build with a dummy switch there and they wanted to make the replica 100% correct.
Thanks man. The riff is probably off. I haven't played it in like 3yrs... so I winged it the best that I new how. Had to try to do some Metallica with the Truckster. =)
