I was at Davis GMC yesterday, headed there after the lunch time downpour... There are many new LTD models in store now, the above H-51 (red) & H101 (flame top) are just two of them.
I'm highlighting these darlings for their:
- Value-for-money
- QC
- tone
Bot guitars sport a sub-$500 price tag so it's definitely not gonna hurt your piggy if you are hunting for some worthy no-frills instruments. The H-101 sits above the H-51 in view of its cosmetic appointments, otherwise, these are identical instruments (even the pickups are identical, just a finish difference). I have to applaud the manufacturer's attention to QC when it comes to guitars in this price bracket. Other manufacturers would compromise some quality in obscure areas but it seems these LTDs had nothing to hide. Tone-wise, I hear a wee bit more bass coming from the H-101 but the default ESP pickups are generally bright sounding but it's nothing your amp EQs couldn't cure. Had a blast hearing them in action through Marshall's mini stack. I also had a booster pedal going to give them that sting during solos. Highly recommended, these two.
List prices: H-51 ($396)/ H-101 ($490)

quite cheap compared with m'sian market price
i think it's about Davis' price more than market price :-) they are committed to pricing their products at the lowest possible, that's why there is no more disct upon purchasing. i'm absolutely OK with this.
