Very disappointed in ESP/LTD this year...
Was SO hoping for the EC 7s.
The only thing I saw worth buying was the new ECs with 22 frets =)

You mean the H-1007? Not that much. Upgraded tuners and some other hardware upgrades? More taken "care of" i pressume

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
Sent them an email about it. Let's hope it's a 27".

I usually just call ESP if I have a question. They should be there right now, I usually type in the extension for the first name I hear and if it goes to voicemail I redial and type the second and so on and so forth until someone picks up their phone haha.

Keep trying new headstocks, ESP. You'll figure it out eventually.
Ditto. I also disliked it strongly.

Yea I'm not a fan of the "cockstock"; I'll assume it's the one where all the tuners are on 1 side of the headstock?
I prefer a headstock similar to the one they have now, although the one they have may be too "extreme" for my taste, I prefer the EC/Eclipse headstock for instance...
You're right though, the 3/4, 4/3 thing is a bit nit picky but I'm sure ESP did that so they didn't come off as having the exact same guitar as Schecter haha. I already own a Schecter Hellraiser so I don't need anymore of the Strat style guitars for a while... I want a Les Paul shaped 7 string guitar so I'll be first in line the day ESP makes an LTD Deluxe EC-1007 or ESP Eclipse-7... Although I'm not a big fan of the Eclipse not having 24 frets; in fact I never really understood why they would make the ESP model with 22 and the LTD models with 24.

It be nice if there were more non-signature ESPs, opposed to a butt load of LTDs.
Also, I think the "Cockstock" on anything but HIIIs looks fucking horrendous. Like not even "meh" or "not the best", but GAS-killingly bad.

What I find to be GAS-killingly bad is ESP's over-use of abalone on the 1000 series guitars. I think it is absolutely tacky and makes the guitar look cheap. It would be alright if they left it for fretboard inlay, but abalone body, neck, and headstcok binding is major overkill.
