ESP 2011

[cronux]

I know. A seven EX would be amazing.

yes it would

 

[Jinogalpa]

wow the new LTD 200 Kamikaze with >matching headstock< is really really interesting for the estimated ltd 200 price tag. it could be mine

[afflictive]

These new models doesn't cut it (for me at least). That H sevenstring has the ugliest LTD/ESP headstock ever. Release a MH-1007, then we're talking. Nothing would be better.

 

[Murmel]

The Hs look almost exactly like Schecter 7s.

Don't know if you've seen the Japanese Schecters and then compared them to Japanese ESPs. A lot of models are very similar. Schecter are generally not as metal as the ESP ones though.
I believe they are owned by the same dude, which would explain a lot.

 

[Elijah]

Not impressed :/

 

[Nimgoble]

^ seconded the LTD 1000s are awesome, I have a MH1000 FR and it kicks ass.

I like the look of the H1007's but I don't understand why they are keeping with that headstock, I don'think I know anyone who prefers it over the cockstock?

Agreed. I have the NT version and I'm rather fond of it.

Also, I rather dislike the cockstock. Never sat well with me.

i am dissapoint

 

[Esp Griffyn]

It's strange that they didn't put a tremolo on a Slayer guitar when you hear the strong abuse that Jeff and Kerry do. It must a be a serious deal breaker for the fans.

It would have probably broken up the graphics too much. I don't even like Slayer and I think that guitar is fucking cool, I'd buy one.

The sc-208 could be my first 8 string, how many people even tune down an 8 to warrant baritone scale? I can only think of meshuggah, and even then a half step down doesn't require a baritone scale length.

its probably going to be mine as well.

That was one of the guitars that caught my eye also. I will have to see the specs before I buy, but it might be a cool guitar, "just to have".

Just about all of those where new models, I am curious if there are any new colors on the old models (LTD, I know ESP's come in black, and every now and then white).

+1

this year belongs so far to Schecter and Ibanez

 

[Decipher]

Yeah, I'm not overly impressed with ESP's offerings so far either. I really don't care for the H headstock. I guess we'll see in a couple of weeks if there is anything else up there sleeve that they're saving.

Cool that the Devildriver boys got some sigs though.

Standard scale for an 8 should be 27". Consider the fact that you're playing with a ~.74 F#. That's going to sound awfully muddy on a 25.5" scale. I mean, it's cool that they're offering an affordable 8, but if it's a signature, at least make it the same general specs. It's not like the scale length makes a giant difference in materials used, unless you're getting like a 36" scale bass.

I was seriously interested in it 'til I saw that it said "standard scale", and that was a write-off for me.

It would be sick to have a guitar tuned B-a, but for my only 8 string, I'd be tuning it down, and 25.5" wouldn't be enough.

On an unrelated note, those new ECs are

 

[FretWizard88]

I am really enjoying the fact that there are no more horrendous bindings going around the entire guitar. That is the only thing that ever kept me from buying a 1000 series.

 

[BlackWinds10]

me wants the reign in blood and mk model sigs!

That's why I bought this:

 

[NeglectedField]

Don't understand how the H series 7-string headstocks came out like that...

 

[Mehnike]

If only esp understood how happy theyd make fans by bringing back the cock stock.

There's something about that slayer sig i cant help but love. ebony too? nice

[edit] guess the pic lied to me. no ebony
