I think that there's an argument to be made that as soon as artists get big enough to get their own signatures gear the quality of their sound goes downhill.
I have yet to be proven wrong and no i will not name examples because I'm lazy.
All ltd eclipses I've ever played have what I call the "regular" ltd neck shape, never played an ESP eclipse. I dunno what to describe it as but my viper and ltd mh50 generally feel pretty similar. They're pretty thin, but also pretty round.
These Edwards Les Pauls are just way more Gibson-y...
Got my third Edwards Les Paul this weekend (the left one). I've been looking for a good EMG guitar for a while, and I've always loved the look of a les Paul custom with emg's. This came up and I got a decent deal on it. Plays like I suspected it would and it sounds great. It's an E-LP 130cd that...
@Metropolis genuine question for you: Assuming you're not actually Jari (which i don't think you are btw), why are you so invested in defending the antics and personality of someone you (presumably) don't actually know? Isn't this all a colossal waste of your time? I mean, the only person I'd...
Yeah that's why I thought it must be from factory. Especially if it's a custom shop someone might've just ordered it with that trem.
But is the overall consensus that this is legit? 2k seems like a roundabout fair price for a custom shop ESP right? It's not a steal but not an outright bad deal...

I love ESP horizons and wanna buy another one. this one caught my eye, but as its a custom theres of course nothing i can find about it, so i just want some esp fanatics to weigh in. Does this look legit?
I think the general dislike of Kiss nowadays is more aimed at Simmons and Stanley not wanting to reunite with the original lineup and their general money hungriness than at the band in general.
I get that, but man you just can't knock their hits, they wrote some amazing songs and put up a show...
My wife always asks "so what's this got you don't have already?" When I buy a new guitar. When she asks I try to explain to her but she always looks at me sceptically, deservedly so, as i have lots of "same-ey" stuff like some les pauls, couple of superstrats etc. I don't "need" anything...
Well especially in the earlier years of him joining he did play some songs really fast, like psychosocial, even when I saw them in 2019 I felt he played some songs really quickly. That's not always a bad thing, but with some songs it does mess up the groove of it.
Although why fire him instead...
Yeah I guess, but those were all temporary reunions and tours right? I'm too young for that anyway haha.
It might be the nepotism thing that would rub me the wrong way, but I also realise it'd be silly for me to care about that aspect as it would not affect my life in any way shape or form...
