Additional Information

Customer Review Summary

ESP LTD GH 600 BLK is a stunning guitar that truly stands out with its glossy black finish complemented by red accents and pickups. The craftsmanship is impressive, especially the neck, which boasts excellent playability and string action. Upon plugging it in, I was delighted to discover that this guitar is not solely for shredding; it excels in various genres including jazz, funk, and rock, thanks to its outstanding humbuckers that deliver both smooth cleans and powerful distorted tones.

The Floyd Rose tremolo system maintains tuning stability, setting this single-cut model apart from others in its class. The value for money is remarkable, as you receive a high-quality instrument without paying a premium for a brand name.
