Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

It feels that ESP could have done better with LTD EC-400 Left-Handed, but still, this is a useful musical instrument. You should really give LTD EC-400 Left-Handed a chance if you feel that this is a right instrument for you in this moment in time.

ESP could throw in a bit more features into LTD EC-400 Left-Handed but this guitar is definitely a usable musical instrument. Whether it's the price cut, or ESP felt that simplicity is a good way to go, LTD EC-400 Left-Handed is built with a limited set of features, so one needs see if it fits the need. Not the best equipped instrument, but LTD EC-400 Left-Handed will do well for some musicians.

Tone delivered by ESP's LTD EC-400 Left-Handed makes it a serious sounding instrument that gives ESP a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Somewhat limited when playing certain music styles doesn't mean that LTD EC-400 Left-Handed will make your tone to sound poor, quite the opposite, because LTD EC-400 Left-Handed provides rich and versatile tone that you'll be happy with.

You could find a better fitted guitar, but LTD EC-400 Left-Handed is ready to be played by any musician willing to take time and adjust it to his/her needs. ESP built a guitar that has nice finish but it lacks something that would make it feel even better. Guitar stays in tune reasonably well, if you don't force it too much, and the LTD EC-400 Left-Handed's neck is playable.

Some might say that ESP didn't go all the way in providing a reliable and durable instrument, but LTD EC-400 Left-Handed isn't that bad. It will serve you well most of times, though you should be wary and have backups in situations where you feel LTD EC-400 Left-Handed might let you down, such as gigs and studio sessions.
