Also, more expensive and protective bags will end up being heavier and harder to walk with.

Actually your details of the guitar are partly false, and you obviously didn't know about ESP guitars when you bought it, you didn't even know how to give the true hype about the SS frets. And the damn guitar doesn't come with bindings, the older h1001 came with beautiful bindings, but not this cheaper model. Has good pickups and a decent tremolo, plus the latest model of the BLK natural burst comes with SS frets. Plus you didn't act very excited about the guitar when talking about it. Fair video.
@tytonidaeowls1007H Жыл бұрын
This guitar doesn't have ss frets I watched the video and I meant the floyd amd nut parts have. I dodnt see anything where I mentioned as frets(maybe I missed it) but I watched like twice or thrice. I do know about the guitar, cuz it does indeed have binding that you don't have one in hand (or near by in stores) wether it is the ec model or the H the binding(body, neck, headstock)is there for both models, unless the person doesn't hold it physically or shown proper which idr if I did but I think so cuz mine came with a scratch on the binding. Obviously I dont talk much on camera so ofcourse I'll be awkward about it. It's not a cheaper model because it cost between $1,049 to $1,200 so clearly you didn't even search the right price I know what you mean but maybe you're talking about the ESP Models obviously some may vary cuz if more abalone add ons or more fancy looking specks with cost more. I'm not here to hype people about anything this is just a video for research, details, and how burltop will be different to next one. Thank you for watching anyways.

If anyone is concerned about the guitar coming with SS frets, only if you have an H 1001fr deluxe in 2021 or after, so look at the serial numbers before buying it, if it looks like this; IW21071831, it means your guitar was made July of 2021 and the production numbers, and it does have SS frets. Or do like I did, and call em and ask em in detail about the frets after you give em your serial number, and they'll let you know that all of the 2021 production line of Ltd 1000 deluxe guitars are upgraded to stainless steel frets, the price on this guitar is low because it's not going to be in the production line after 21, and it's selling at it's original price before the upgrade to SS frets.
