Guys, if you like the riffs in the intro of this video, I turned it into a full song. Check it here ---- https://youtu.be/wgbHgQ4rBVA

BRO I WAS LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS. FOR YEARS IVE NEEEDED THIS VIDEO THANK YOU

I also prefer no pickup rings

This might be the best guitar review I have ever seen

5:11 great information!

Great review, I actually just bought the 1000 last night.

I just bought a E II because of your video... Thank you!

Some guy at Guitar Center labelled an E-II as an LTD deluxe, so I got my own Horizon in the mail as we speak! I’ve been dreaming about a real Japanese ESP since 1999 sooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Also hey, Porcupine Tree for a clean test!

You set the standard for how guitar showdowns should be done. You're also a wonderful musician, mate. Keep honing that talent and write! 😊

Astounding review man! Extremely in-depth and concise, you showcased the differences, strengths and weaknesses of both and made very clear points. I have the LTD and am extremely happy with it, especially because I'm just a beginner, but that E-II is something I definitely aspire to have one day as well.

I love the E- ii models , I’m lucky enough to have one .

The LTD are superb instruments . And you can do small upgrades to elevate them .

Super cool to know you are also a Nick Johnston fan.  Great review as usual.

That was actually a very good and comprehensive review of both these guitars. Good job. I enjoyed your analysis.

I couldn't decide whether I should spend a whole lot more on E-II, but your review convinced me to do so and I'm very grateful. It's an awesome guitar.

Great review, thanks for the detailed analysis. That's it, I'm saving money for e2))
Special like for the Death band riff!

Bro…you are an excellent player. Great video. Love the E-II.

Your playing soo good man

Duuude thank you for this!! Love the riffs and the detailed review/comparison!

Yo hella in depth video, i dig em both. but something about your lead playing in the intro bit, seemed like you were gliding smooth af on the ltd, but the punch/clarity on the e2's Rhythm sounded noice. killer vid brotha.

Amazing video. I greatly appreciated the detailed walkthrough during the comparison, as that's what I look for in one, especially as you state the subtleties which won't be found by just comparing specs online.
In my experience, I've never had/tried a Korean guitar which has had perfect binding. Yes, it's being nit-picky, but you're the first person I've seen actually inspect it and discuss it. Interesting about the side dots though.

Thanks
