Based on multiple experiences on the LTD-brand: no-one should waste their money on LTD by ESP. It`s not an ESP, it`s an LTD and there is a reason why LTD`s are cheaper than the real thing: they are made of crappier parts. Shure they look cool but once you get over that looks-thing: enter the problems. The hardware starts to fall apart, intonation won`t stay, Floyd`s don`t return to the "zero" position, potentiometers rattle, mics are weak...

If someone has an LTD and is happy with it but got offended by my message: I`m sorry! I know just too many people who are not happy with them.

My ESP LTD Viper 400, is one of the best guitars I have ever owned,
and the features it has for the money are hard to beat.

I would say that if you are thinking of buying 50-100-200 series LTDs,
there are many better guitars on the market, but the 400 and 1000 series
guitars are an excellent value with quality components.

Oh, on the Richard Z guitar, not really my cup of tea, but if it is something
that you are into, GO FOR IT! The shape just does not suit my personal
tastes.

:? weeellll, if you are asking me if I would buy it,...........no! :roll:

It´s not the type of guitar for me! I am a strat boy excluding the Les Paul Custom (1969) that I got from my Dad for my 13th Birthday back in 1973 :wink:

I am just curious on how, a Signature guitar from a German Rocker tickels your bellies!?! I could have put one of my Bosses Signature Guitars in this thread! The Black & White Flying V from Dean!

Rudoplh Schenker (Michael Schenkers Bro)is one of my Bosses as well as Klaus Meine! both are from the Scorpions!

I work for their Radio station in Hannover/Germany! That is where they also live!

I do know that a lot of ESP fans here in the U.S. were wanting the Richard
Z signature model, but how many of them will buy it? Probably a very low
percentage.

I don't know... but it looks kinda uncomfortable to play the higher frets and it doesn't have a tone knob, so... don't like it :|

I would definitly play it! Based on Rammstein's music, this guitar is more of a riffing guitar than a shredding one. Someone said that it looked uncomfortable to play the higher frets and I definitely agree. But since I need a good, cool-looking riffing guitar that's fine with me!

Id probably play it, but the only way id buy it was if they got rid of all the Rammstein logos
