ESP LTD M-1 Custom '87 Metallic Gold Electric guitar

The good stuff: This guitar is the guitar I wanted forever without knowing it. The sounds and sustain you get out of such a simple layout is wonderful. The color is also beautiful and I can't get my eyes off it. The Bad stuff: the guitar was made in Indonesia and the finish isn't impeccable, as opposed to my other Korean made LTDs from the same series. The set up was also terrible, with a very high action and slanted tremolo out of the box! The boost toggle switch was loose and switches from one position to the other with a caress and there is no way I can tighten this up without replacing the whole unit, sadly. I don't know how the guitar was stored before shipment, but the box was slightly damaged at the nut level, and the locking nut screws that popped out of the box were rusty. The fretboard was also super dry! And yet, with all of this in mind, I love the guitar and the issues are, for the most part , easy to fix. I will keep this guitar for some time for sure as it is the one I play the most out of my 40+ guitars, cause it plays and sound SO GOOD. I also swapped the Floyd Rose 1000 for the german original Floyd Rose, it's more stable and less stiff to use.
