I chanced upon this guitar a few days ago at Davis & gave it a try...We know too well that an endorser model (regardless of the brand name) is full of individual quirks which may put us off because these aren't the specs that we would like to have in the first place. Nevertheless, such details wouldn't make the guitar a lesser performer unless they prove to be a hindrance when in use. The primary quirk with the LTD Alexi-200 here is its solitary humbucker which would kill tone enthusiasts because of its limited application. But keep in mind that some of us here prefer only a single pickup in our guitars because that's all that we ever need.
The guitar in question is an exceptional player in terms of playability & tone. The neck here would please those who embrace thin profiles such as Ibanez's Super Wizard make. The humbucker would surely get the approval of drive enthusiasts more than those in search of pristine cleans (duh- you would seriously look forward to cleans when trying this one?). I'd wish more V-type guitars would feature that slight but wise treble-side cutaway for upper fret access.
If you are looking for an affordable V-body unit & wouldn't mind individual touches in terms of features, this one's recommended.
