I'm coming into NAMM season with that mentality, a Custom Horizon inbound, and holding this beauty:

Even with all of that, I may be too weak of a man to resist the Reid M.

How am I supposed to resist these new ones? Hell I'm having trouble not buying this old LTD Hybrid 400 I found for cheap. It's the old Korean model, with humbucker in the bridge and tele neck pickup.

 

[Spicypickles]

I would go for that sh!t. Those guitars kick ass.

How are E-II guitars? I got lost in their rebranding. Is it like Ibanez prestige level? So many great releases this year spec-wise, but I'm not sure what to expect quality-wise.

I don't "need" it, but I NEED it...

It's just the Standard Series with a new name. Yes, comparable to the Prestige line.

It has begun guys. The great sell off of 2016 is underway and that TESB Horizon shall be mine.

I'd be lying if I didn't look around my guitar room and say, "Hmm, which of you can I sell for a new Horizon in TESB." I would probably even get the FR model, just because I don't have any ESPs with trems.

I've had 3 E-IIs now. The first one was a bit of a lemon (ST2), shoddy fretwork, finish was good, but not great. Fret level and crown and I had no complaints, I just didn't get along with it as well as I would have hoped (in all honesty, that shape was direct competition for the high bar that Charvels hold in that shape/realm). Horizon FR7 was top notch and my snow white FR2 is absolutely perfect.
For reference, I've owned like a dozen or so ESP Standard Series (91-2012 models).

That's the spirit! Go for that 1:1 SZ/Horizon ratio.

 

[Spicypickles]

Oh god.


They're starting to rid themselves of the old models

I miss the good old days when it was just ESP if you wanted high end and LTD if you wanted budget. Simple, honest.

And I thought Ibanez got goofy when adding Premium and Iron Label branding.

 

[JD27]

That's the spirit! Go for that 1:1 SZ/Horizon ratio.

I don't know if I can touch the wall of SZ just yet. It would likely be things like my IRT-Studio and probably my Axe-FX Standard. I haven't even turned that thing on in a very long time. That would get me close enough to the dollar amount I need.

Ahh! I wish they had a string-thru version of this.

 

[StrmRidr]

They kinda do now but with the cockstock

 

[JD27]

Does anyone knows why they've putted tailpieces on some of the Horizons instead of string through?

Horizon NT - Set-Thru and Tailpiece.

Horizon NT-II - Neck-Thru and String-Thru design.

 

[Blood Tempest]

Was really hoping for their normal V shape with a reverse headstock. Overall, still a ton of great offerings here.
