    NGD - Another guitar older than me (Japanese Jackson Content)

    It is indeed a rosewood board, the soloist XL didn't get the ebony board treatment like most of the higher end soloists got, but that doesn't bother me too much. And yeah the paint is in shockingly good shape, plus it even came with the case candy, never imagined that!

    NGD - Another guitar older than me (Japanese Jackson Content)

    Pics first: Apologies in advance to anyone who may have seen this one on Reverb the other night, but I had to do a double take when i saw the price this thing was listed at, especially considering how much people want to charge for these things lately. So yeah, bit of an impulse...

    NGD- ESP Alexi Sawtooth (Belated NGD really)

    Would you believe I only paid $2500 for the Custom Shop one too? Crazy to think with what these are going for these days that I got both for under $5k total. But even crazier to think that I paid under $1k for the first one of these I had a few years ago. Wild times, wild times indeed lol

    NGD- ESP Alexi Sawtooth (Belated NGD really)

    Thanks man! I think I'm probably gonna swap the pickup out to something else, not a huge fan of the X2N but honestly not sure what I want to put in here yet. Part of me wants to keep it authentic and put an EMG back in but I also feel like there are some other options that would work well...

    NGD- ESP Alexi Sawtooth (Belated NGD really)

    Okay so I completely forgot to post this until I saw @Blytheryn post their absolutely insane Alexi NGD so this is a few months late, but better than never right? Pics: With it's big brother: So I scored this thing for a stupid price on Reverb after a getting a few drinks in me, but...

    NGD: ESP 2022 Alexi Laiho Arrowhead Custom Shop

    Nah I got a steal on one from Chicago Music Exchange: snagged this for $2200 My CS is the Scythe though so I've got that one covered :lol: Just need to track down a blacky or a pinky and I'll be content

    NGD: ESP 2022 Alexi Laiho Arrowhead Custom Shop

    Welcome to the CS Alexi club! It's a great place to be! I'm so happy with the one I picked up earlier this year and it looks like this one is probably even nicer! The Alexi GAS is always there though....always there. I have another ESP Standard Series one on the way right now....LOL

    ESP CS Eclipse NGD (Again!)

    It's in B for now. Once I figure out how an Evertune works I'll probably keep this one in either drop B or Bb. We'll see.

    ESP CS Eclipse NGD (Again!)

    Pics first: And the pair; Feeling like it's Groundhog Day this year. Went from having 0 ESP CS guitars at the start of the year to having 3 ESP CS guitars at this point in the year! Was offered the chance to snag this really cool CS Eclipse with an evertune AND a 26.5" scale...

    ESP Custom Shop #2 - An Eclipse this time

    That answers it then! I thought they sounded different than the M series so glad to know my ears are working!

    ESP Custom Shop #2 - An Eclipse this time

    I actually don't know! I'll have to take a look when I change the strings and see. I have M7s and M8s in other guitars and they don't sound like an M, so I'll find out.

    ESP Custom Shop #2 - An Eclipse this time

    Yeah that's my thought too. Guessing it was probably a small run.

    ESP Custom Shop #2 - An Eclipse this time

    Pics: So I know I JUST got my first ESP Custom Shop guitar like a month ago with the ESP Alexi I brought in but you know what they say about GAS.... So I'm in the process of trying to downsize my collection a bit and had a few things up for trade and got offered this bad boy, so who am...

    What is your "white whale" guitar?

    Hmmm this is a good question since I've been fortunate enough to be able to try a ton of guitars. It's a pretty short list right now: Strandberg Varberg - unlikely unless they ever offer it outside of the custom shop Ibanez S5470 WCB - still have never seen one come up second hand :lol...
