- The ESP LTD EC-10 is a beginner's heavy metal guitar, but is it worth buying? Well, maybe. This one had some fret issues. Once I took care of those it plays well and sounds good. I go into detail about the positives and negatives in this video.

The ESP designed pickups on the EC-10 lack clarity in certain situations (as you'll hear in the sound demo), but they're not as bad as the pickups on some cheap guitars.
If you're playing thrashy metal, for example, I think they'll do you well. If you're playing downtuned fuzz? A lot less clarity. The clean sounds are fine. Watch the vid for the sound demo!

LTD EC-10 specs: 24 frets, volume and tone controls, 3 way pickup selector switch, 24.75" scale length, basswood body, maple neck, "rosewood" fingerboard, extra jumbo frets. Comes with a cheap gig bag.
It's rare for a guitar in this price range to have 24 frets, but you know what? You probably won't be using 24 frets anyway so don't let that be the deciding factor for you.
Ultimately, it's a cool guitar for metal, but I only recommend it if you get one without the issues mine had. OR if you want to buy a guitar to practice mods on. OR if you're okay with just fixing any issues that come up. Cool? Cool.
