ESP LTD EC-256 Snow White

Beyond the obvious, that the guitar is stunning and beautiful, dont think that this Snow White is fragile or weak.
Pros:
-versatility: if you like to play clean sounds, funk,blues rock or metal this baby will not disapoint you
-neck:im in love... the u-shaped design offers confort and speed
(shredders alert)
-Sound/Electronics/Hardware: I put this three points connected, they all contribute for a well balanced guitar.The tone knob selector with the coil-split mode is a huge feature gives you a new level of versatility combined with the pickup selector switch and two powerfull humbuckers. The tone-o-matic and tailpeace bridge helps with string/tunning stability.
Cons:
-this Snow White baby is heavy! I recommend you to workout =) and invest in a good strap that offers stability but more important confort while playing.
Alert:
-This white finish is great but you need to keep it clean. Wash your hands before and after the "show", clean the body the neck... she diserve!!
Final words:
-This guitar compete in huge range of guitar in this budget(between 400€-500€) and she is one of the best . Im playing her for a week and what i love the most is the playability and versatility that she has, playing smooth Blues or a super heavy metal riff she got it, well. No regrets

Quite a good instrument when you set it up properly. Right out of the box it looks like a total crap and here I will explain why.
First that catches your eye before you open the box are the damages on the guitar original carton box. I doubt it's somehow related to delivery because outer carton from Thomann looks great without any damages. Internal guitar carton in which the instrument was originally shipped from the ESP factory, in my case it has multiple scratches and a hole in the middle! Thanks God the instrument itself has no scratches or damages. The tone switch on guitar has made another hole from inside the box by its stick during a trip! Amazingly how ESP carelessly pack their products before shipping from factory.
The second I've noticed are rusty strings. This is the first time I see it on a new instrument which was by the way manufactured in 2019 (found by its serial number on a headstock).
And the final disappointment was a neck. There was no any neck relief. The neck was humped! There is a question to ESP - do you guys even check the instruments before shipping? And how do you store them and ship so the instrument got rusty strings and holes in a box?
After setting up the guitar properly it looks and sounds totally different.
The guitar is rather heavy (like Gibson IMHO). Action is good. Frets installed evenly. No dead notes at the lowest possible action.
