This guitar was worked on by some of the best in the business to try and get it to play....something. Last week I decided to put it back to original. What I didn't put back in from original was the nut, the crap under the nut, the pickup selector switch, input jack, and Floyd posts. Putting...
Not just the "U", every letter of the word Custom Shop is in a different font, and you can see the feathering of the edge of the decal which is not present in the real thing.
This EX is not a Custom Shop ESP. The Custom Shop logo is an aftermarket water slide decal. The font in both the Custom Shop wording and serial number are wrong. I would have imagine it's a repurposed LTD but the neck heel doesn't look right for an LTD either, nor the battery compartment.
Thanks for the interest in Jon's model. We started this process on the 20th January last year and worked through lots of ideas before settling on this configuration. Lots of details and mockups and back and forth and ESP Japan nailed it to a tee. More pics now that all the guitars have arrived
Only one of those is a baritone. The baritones bridge is placed further back. Sending the pickup further back along with it would create more treble so I assume they like that position for the bridge pickup's tone.
Thanks for the interest guys, glad y'all like it. There's a slight revision to the one pictured at the top of this thread. There will be no fingerboard inlays on the final version, as per below
Your book is very wrong, and it won't be the only thing it's way off on. Vintage Guitar Price Guide is no better on contemporary guitars. The most expensive ESP they list is an LTD, the Redburn Eclipse from a few years ago or something, at $1,700. How on earth they came up with that is anybody's...
First one of the first two BARITONES to arrive went to Jon from Northlane, this one now in store. Four more baritones to come, exclusive to bmusic, and then that's it Rest of ze pics
I understand these have been of interest to some, now arrived, the standard 25.5" scale. Those who have them on order can now see what they'll be getting their hands on in a bit more detail. The limited run of 6 baritones are due soon. More pics eclipse-ii_usa-24-7_bks pictures by...
You've been playing and collecting guitars for more than 20 years and you've never had a strap pin pull out or the nut on a jack come loose? Furthermore, you don't use strap locks? Oh, I forgot, "lol", everyone my age uses that nowadays, it's cool. 'cos you must be my age or older to have been...
