This is one of those guitars that gets under your skin very quickly and will probably make you forget your previous favorites! ESP did an extremely good job with Xtone PD1. A phrase "words are not enough to describe it" suits this instrument well.

Guitar features are a very important aspect to evaluate when buying a new instrument, and that is just what ESP's Xtone PD1 has to offer: excellent features with a matching price. Top grades for Xtone PD1 depict what most musicians feel about this instrument's features; therefore you should feel confident about its value. A job well done by ESP!

This beauty has virtually no flaws. ESP surpassed their traditional level of quality and produced an instrument that is built great, and built to last. The finish is amazing and the hardware easily adjustable to fit any kind of action. The neck is superb and smooth while playing. Xtone PD1 stays in tune 99% of the time and responds well to various playing styles.

Xtone PD1 is a reliable guitar that will go to hell and back with you, and would want to do it again. It's a magnificent instrument that is reliable on stage as it is in studio. It will stand the beating and still would not lose its charm and ability to perform. ESP did make the instrument that should be considered the most reliable in its class!
