xeyex - ESP Ltd EC50 Guitar and Zoom Q3 Video Recorder Test

Me (Alan Seger) trying out my friend's guitar, an ESP Ltd EC50, for another friend who might buy it. Also, this is the first recording using my new Zoom Q3 Video Recorder. The guitar feels good, looks good and plays well. I like it. The Q3 sounds great which is why I bought it, picture quality not so much. It's not very good at all for low light conditions.

how heavy is this guitar? more than 3.5 kg?

[xeyex]

@ChrisVinegar It's not too heavy. Not like a Les Paul. My friend bought it from an other friend so I haven't played it since this video was made. Personally, although I really liked this guitar, I still prefer my Brian May 'Red Special' or my Ibanez S Series which has a super thin body and great sound and feel. Both of these guitars are more than double the price of the ESP.

which amplifier is that?

[xeyex]

The guitar is plugged into a Zoom pedal of some sort into a small Fender, Traynor, or Line6 amp. Not sure which one we were using that day. Personally I don't like this preset much, too processed. But I was just trying out the guitar and my new Q3 video cam so I just started playing with the settings my friend picked. For way cooler tone, check out my Brian May sounds on my other vids.

There is no age for being a rockstar, you prove it man. thumbs up for you.

[ChrisVinegar]

@xeyex ah. okay. thank you.

I play in a punkrock band, so it's important to have a flexible and comfortable guitar.

Now I have a SG-400 Gothic: the tabing is a bit uncomfortable and the guitar is too top-heavy

This guy certainly knows his way around a fretboard.!!! Great neck / action on the EC50,too, I'll bet !! The Zoom sounds like it could handle just about anything you throw at it on the audio side.Absolutely 1st Class !!!
