In this video I am checking out the ESP LTD Mirage Deluxe '87 in Rainbow Crackle. This is a fantastic Superstrat from the guys at LTD. This is from their 87 Series which is based around the guitars in the ESP Catalogue from the year 1987. It's very, very 80s inspired and I absolutely love how it plays and sounds.

The Mirage Deluxe 87 has a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups, a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge and a Hot Rail in the neck. It's also got a coil split making it very versatile for a range of sounds.

I did discover a small issue with the higher frets being slightly lifted off the fretboard and catching the high E string but I assume this is just an issue with this specific guitar and not the model range on the whole.

In the video I am plugged into the Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit 200 which is running on the clean channel. The amp is running via the Two Notes Torpedo Captor X and the overdrive in the video is coming from the Wampler Gearbox.
