I haven't bought a guitar in a while and quite fancied this LTD for a while. Gorgeous looking guitar, even better in real life. Nicely balanced and not too heavy. The neck is thin, which I prefer and the action is bang on. Only down side is that the volume know gets in the way when strumming, sometimes. Obviously that will depend on how you play. Great guitar and well priced. In the UK it's over £150 more expensive, so great deal.
