Very excited for this. Ive had it just a couple days.

Ive linked the completed build from the website.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Hey fellow Metal Guitarists,

Back in my study time in 2015, I bought an ESP Eclipse Guitar for a metalcore project. Back in the Day, I spent 1.800 EUR for it (which was almost mt entire savings account at the time). It is a pre-lawsuit variant with 4 knobs.

I see that the price of ESP Guitars has gone up significantly (like everything else). Since I'm considering getting an 8 string instead for the larger scale it provides, I'm interested in the actual worth of this guitar.

Any experts in here that could tell me what I could realistically charge for it?

It has been played on stage, in the studio and at home for about a decade (I have no idea how old it actually is).

It has some small bumps in the coating on the back, and the ESP logo on the headstock is a bit washy.

Any feedback is appreciated, cheers!

Day two!

Feed back welcome. DMs open for enquirers.

Hey all,

I'm getting ready to order an EVH 5150 guitar and had a question about the factory D-Tuna setup.

I've read quite a few comments saying that D-Tunas can be problematic on Floyd Rose guitars because when you switch to Drop D, the rest of the strings can go out of tune. That makes perfect sense to me on a floating Floyd.

However, as far as I understand, the EVH 5150 comes with the Floyd "slammed" against the body and set up as a dive-only bridge rather than a fully floating one. If that's the case, does the usual D-Tuna tuning issue still apply here, or is the system pretty reliable on this particular model?

Also, does this guitar come with a genuine Floyd Rose 1000 Series? One of the first things I usually do is replace the screw-in trem arm with a pop-in arm, so I'm curious what hardware I'm working with.

I'm considering asking the shop to remove the D-Tuna before shipping, but I'm not sure if that's actually necessary.

For those who own this specific EVH 5150 model:

Is it worth keeping the D-Tuna, or does it end up being more trouble than it's worth? I don't have a lot of time to play these days, usually just a few minutes a day, so I'm looking for something that's reliable and doesn't require constant tweaking or troubleshooting.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,i am creating a passion metal project that is heavily influenced by Trivium and Ibaraki,its gonna be a Metalcore/Death Metal EP with some black metal elements,i have one demo so far and it doesnt have a solo yet and i dont know what to do with the lead part,if anybody is a fan of the bands i mentioned and is interested in perhaps assisting let me know!

I was looking for a way to see the neck/tab as when you see someone playing and this was the result.

VERTICAL FLIP +LEFT, RIGHT already existent view.

Suppith, I need a lead tone that kinda whistles if that makes sense? Something like respite on the spitalfield's solo. Thanks.

Small setup thing I wish I'd known earlier: on my 2019 Jackson Warrior (SH-5 in the bridge) I set the high E side of the pickup a little higher than the low E side. Sharper, more aggressive bite, more even string response, and it helped the lead sit on top of a dense mix. 30 seconds with a screwdriver. https://youtube.com/shorts/oWFWvSIM7a8
