LtdRay · 03-15-2012, 07:48 AM

I found one for pretty cheap and was wondering there any good from specs and the videos I saw it looks and sounds ok.But I was wondering if anyone has personal experience.
Thanks

Great guitars if you can find them for around $250. Not sure what you are looking for as to what spec's they have, but they should be mahogany body, jumbo frets, and I'm pretty sure they have EMG HZ's instead of active EMG's.

Essentially, they are they same guitar as the LTD 1000 series, minus the glitzy abalone and EMG's. If it means anything to you, I believe the older 301's were also Korean made, not Indo made like the newer ones. My friend has had just about every level of the LTD series. Personally, I think the anything above the 300 series is very good quality with excellent bang for your buck.

Does it play djent or death metal well or would it need a pickups for that?

Well djent is more about technique rather than pickups or guitar. The stock pickups should be alright for just about any music as long as you have a decent amp.

I compared a 301 to a newer 1000 series Viper and found the 301 to be a better guitar personally. (excluding pups)

They're really good, I'm actually selling one at the moment for a great price with EMGs and a hard case. But honestly they're really good guitars.

I loved my Viper 400...thing sounded beastly for a mid range guitar. I just could never get used to the factory location for the strap button. Always seemed to throw the guitar off balance sort of.

I ended trading it straight up for a EC1000....think i got the better end of the deal on that one.
