Всем привет. LTD BW-1 отличная электрогитара качественной сборки, красивый дизайн, удобная и относительно легкая, звучит прекрасно. Бридж Evertune держит строй надежно и долговечно, это классно.

Я очень доволен этой электрогитарой. 

 

Но есть два небольших недостатка, на мой субъективный взгляд:

1) В данной электрогитаре используется активные звукосниматели для которых необходима батарейка. Батарейку приходилось часто менять, даже если электрогитара отключена и не используется. В этой связи пришлось модифицировать схему подключения батарейки в электрогитаре - установив переключатель, чтобы обесточивать батарейку. Внешний вид переключателя приведен на фоторафии ниже. По результатам использования данной модификации, теперь батарейку приходится менять очень редко (последнюю батарейку установил два месяца назад и еще не менял, при этом электрогитара используется часто).

 

2) Порожек (NUT): порожек не из качественного заменителя слоновой кости, например от TUSQ. Данный недостаток является незначительным, имеющийся порожек функционирует нормально.

Думаю, производителю электрогитары необходимо принять к сведению данные недостатки и исправить их.

I noticed this guitar is available for “preorder”. Did the guitar get an update/upgrade? 

Edward L.

I am also wondering this, I have been looking for a new guitar and stumbled across this which checks all the boxes. Unfortunately, It seems to be out of stock alot of places and I'm worried since it's an older model it is being discontinued. However, I am really hoping it is being updated to include stainless steel frets and coil splitting...... Fingers crossed.

Hello ESP team ! I've found a second hand first edition BW1 (with EMG). What are the specs differences ? Same woods or not ? And why the 2nd version is 700$ more expensive? just because of the fluence and a case ???  Thanks

I’m looking to get one of these. A few questions though. I’m not familiar with the evertune so first question is can I tune to 1/2 semitone down? Secondly I like 12-60 Daddario strings; would those be okay with this? Final question is what type of nut material is on this? Thank you for the help!

Carl N.

This model Evertune is designed for 9-42 gauge strings set in standard tuning but can be detuned and accommodate slight string modifications though you may need to obtain high tension modules from Evertune to go along with your tuning and gauges.  The nut is molded plastic.

William C.

Thank you for that info. I’ll get the nut changed and have the mod to the evertune by my local luthier at gc.

How much sound effect does the f-hole add to this guitar. MIT did research on f-holes in violins years ago and discovered that the elongated f-hole increased the quality of sound. So I'm wondering if that applies to this guitar also?  Also, does the semi-hollow body of this guitar have more of a metal sound than a solid body guitar?

Carl N.

Hey Ron, we do not measure the output generated by the soundhole of this instrument so I would have no figure to provide to you.  Not sure what you mean by metal sound, metal as in like metallic in nature or do you mean metal as in the genre?

Ron M.

Carl, what I mean by metal sound is heavy metal music genre. 

Carl N.

Hey Ron, maybe the demo of this instrument will help you out.  Though, you can get nearly any guitar to sound metal with the right amps, effects, etc.
