Scooped up a red sparkle today. As much as I thought I'd be upset about no tremolo, it was also a relief…Nice to not have to deal with a Floyd Rose (yes, I have other Hammett sig and really like them). As much as I wanted a black sparkle, the red looked damn good in person. Plays and sounds great. The first riff I played was Creeping Death! 🤘🏻

At this price, I wouldn't think 2x. Grab one if you're on the fence!

Call brick and mortar GC's. If they have them in stock they will honor price and ship to ya ... That's what the staff told me after driving an hour to pick em up.

So I decided on the black one and opened it up. No paperwork and actually had a blemish where they missed the sparkle coat and had a dime spot black circle on the front. Went to my local GC to exchange and get a new one shipped as it says available online. He told me it would be a floor model as it showed no more in the warehouse. Guess I need to decide on the red or gold now. Also appears to be back to $1799 in store.
Picked up the last factory sealed black one this morning. There was dude buying the gold floor model when I left the store, good thing I called and paid for it over the phone. Anyway same issue almost right above the neck pu. Bit of a nitpick though, more of a very small "glitterless" void. Nature of the beast with a glitter type finish. Doesn't bother me enough to return it. Also had a nasty scratch on the pickguard, but luckily it was the protective plastic. Set up was great outta the case. Just spent the last hour playing it, it's a keeper. Tempted to look for the red only because I was gonna buy this regardless. Put it off cuz I couldn't decide between the black or red. Glad I waited, though.

I always wanted a Jackson clone, this one looks pretty solid.. I kinda like my whammy bars tho
still struggling with that. But i'm in the market now and my first ever guitar purchase with a hardtail might be a Strandberg..

...but they do have tremolo even on the 7 and 8 string version O_O

(really, after destroying many [pot metal FR clone] bridges as a kid thanks to Kirk, Vai, Satriani - i just REALLY love the fine tuners at the bridge. That is by far my favorite part of floating trems)​

My Red one had an ESP microfiber cloth, the case keys and some LTD stickers. Gold one had stickers and case keys, no microfiber.

Actually these have not been selling on Reverb well and when they do it was around $1100-1200. When price drops lower after this heavy mark down by Guitar Center then the actual price you net after reverb fees etc will come down to a bit under what you just bought it for. So anyone trying to flip these will waste their time and energy. However anyone who really wanted this guitar, it is a great deal. Overall guitar prices on LTDs over the past year are dropping fast across the market including Kirks LTDs.
Well said, anyone looking to flip these, stay away. For people like me who have been watching this guitar, I'm heading into the store!

Went to my local GC, they checked the stock and had a red sparkle in. Just came in, brand new, still in the ESP box. Pulled it out for me, guitar looked perfect so I bought it for $899. I see a key in the case, but no paperwork or anything.

I'll say that their Quality Control on the guitars is excellent, but the fact that different cases come with different items inside sucks LOL

Likely has to do with the fact that they produce many of the same models in two different factories, in Indonesia and Korea.

Sale started Saturday afternoon. Most of these were gone since yesterday. I'm sure GC didn't expect to sell them that fast 😂

They would not ship to me, luckily the store is only an hour from here, so I'm heading there tomorrow to pick it up after I paid for it today on the phone.
