We had those at the Randall booth this year since Randall and Washburn are both USM and godammit if they aren't killer. Sounded and played absolutely badass. Those Seymourized mini hum buckers are killer, too. Awesome build quality, as good as high end guitar I have ever played.
I was hot after a Phoenix a year or two ago and when I finally played one I wasn't as stoked...could have been that particular axe as ESP makes mostly killer guitars.
