I don't know what the deal is with LTD, but they sure as hell don't use that label to mark any lesser quality equipment. They're cheaper, as in they aren't several thousand dollars, but I wouldn't ever compare them to squire.

Yeah, that looks like it has the tech specs to rock. Nice wood choice, at the very least. Who's that professional guitarist who uses the ax350? Is it that guy in Evanescence?

YYYUUUUUKKK!!!Dude...for the money,go for a frigin schecter classic,stealth or 006 elite.God damn,hz humbuckers????I mean really,for the price your just paying for the shape.If you want sharp edges,get one of the new B.C rich nj series guitars with the floyd speedloader.Or better yet,just get a jackson V.
Dont waste your money.Get something with nice pickups,hardware e.c.t.
If you like ltd's(I have a viper 301 that plays sweet)then go for an EC1000 with the dual 81's and tonepros bridge...so much better for the money.
Unless your totally bent on the guitar for some mysterious reason and there is a big price drop,I wouldn't recommend that at all.
Watch...after ESP finds out no one is buying that overpriced B.C Rich wannabe,they will lower the price.
Jesus man,shop around!

..Or save up a bit more money (it's gonna cost ~1k) and get your guitar build entirely custom by Ran.

I was gonna be quiet, but I completely agree with chuck on this one. Well, almost completely. I like Schecter a little more than Jackson.

YYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!

Hammurabi nailed it!Ran guitars will make one HELL of a guitar for you.Ive had email problems so I havnt been able to contact them for a quote on what I want...but go for that if you can.There base models are great too for the price.Something like 550-650 euro?So thats like 650-750 american dollars?Not bad at all.
Great pickups,hardware,woods.You customize almost everything.

Ranguitars.com

Go check them out!
