ESP 2016 Models released

[101]

I think this is the shiniest fret board I've ever seen!

lol, it is shiny even for an ESP, but the scallops make it look ridiculously so in pics.

Because ESP finishes the fretboards.

So are the prices of the Custom shop stuff coming down? I noticed that the original series is a little lower in price than it used to be. Does this mean that we could see relatively reasonable prices for some custom shop stuff?

Also based on the USA Eclipse I already have I am seriously considering that USA MII in blue but quick question for the ESP experts out there. Tried to find out why the MII series is cheaper than the Horizon series. Any reasoning?

The M series don't have carved tops, just a forearm contour and sometimes the lower horn is sculpted to varying degrees depending on the model. Also, if you are talking the USA series, I think they are all boltys unless they started doing set or thrus this year for that line. So that would be a cost difference as well.

The M-IIs are neck thru.

The M-IIs are neck thru.

Not all of them.

I wish they would just come out with a horizon 8 that had the cockstock. They have that red custom 8 but a production model would be nice. I absolutely hate that headstock they are putting on all the 8 strings right now.

USA M-IIs are all neck thru.

Yeah, but those aren't the USA series. All the USA-series MIIs are thru.

The M-IIIs, on the other hand, are bolt-on.

 

[Forkface]

jesus that nosferatu one!
like, i hate single pickup guitars, and i dislike trems.

BUT.... i kinda sorta need it.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Something I just realized about the SN series...

The shredder-metal-24 fret SNs have sharper, deeper horns. The 22-fret-vintage-based SNs have shallower, more Strat-like horns.

 

[ej207t]

Might be slightly off topic, but what happened with the original M-IIs with the maple fretboard?

I was surprised when they stopped making these, werent these things somewhat iconic?

 

[OmegaSlayer]

Can't help but think that the Glenn Tipton was designed by Stevie Wonder...

I also don't get why ESP doesn't try an inline headstock for the FRX
(I so love the FRX)

 

[Blue1970Cutlass]

Huh, this slipped by me somehow

Not exactly a top model, but 27" Baritone

 

[Forkface]

a friend took pics of the Nosferatu. Looks fucking epic. im gonna have a hard time holding back from buying this.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Gonna bitch about it again...

They make a Viper-200B and F-200B. But no M-200B, H-200, or EC-200B?

Gary Holt's new ESP Custom guitar painted with his own blood... still in progress, screen shot from ESP NAMM stream...

 

[RUSH_Of_Excitement]

Alright, that's pretty f*cking br0thall

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Suck it, KISS and Steve Vai.

Also, EMG's releasing a sig set of pickups for him.

 

[Miek]
