ESP 2017 Previews

[Blytheryn]

It's a custom made for Chris Rörland, Sabaton guitarist

How did I not see that??

 

[starkill]

Imagine that with a reverse pointed headstock

Judging from the body shape itself, it seems to be a
Chris Broderick Soloist rip off too me.

 

[Trashgreen]

Yeah that's the Chris Rörland signature guitar. I was told this at Musikmesse last year by someone from the ESP booth. It's a mix of different ESP shapes and it's supposed to have a transparent camo finish..

Miss my ESP, dont really like these headstocks.

Now that you say it, the picture sucks but you can definitely see a quilt top underneath.

 

[Millul]

That looks lika an...Esparison? more than a Broderick ripoff.

Silly HS, nice body shape.

Well, I could agree on that. But the headstock is butt ugly.
Looks like someone bit the tip off of the headstock haha.

 

[Andromalia]

Who/what is Warhead?

Given it's for one of the sabaton dudes, I guess it's just the model name. Psst ESP I'd like an F bass with urban camo, thanks !

 

[Mad-Max]

Maybe a signature in the future?

That is one fugly guitar

ESP interviewed Vernon Reid on the Cult 86.

[beerandbeards]

That white one reminds me of the Broderick soloist

 

[Sumsar]

Maybe a signature in the future?

Looks like Keith Merrows white sig mated with Chris Brodericks. The body shape is nice, not as aggresive and pointy as the Jackson, the pickups are sustainiac and Duncan of some sort?

I had planned to order the Broderick pro version next month but might consider this. Only thing is that while the broderick sas one of the pretties headstocks ever, this one is ugly as fack!

It looks incredibly comfortable to play sitting down in classical position. If they made an LTD version of this model, they would sell a metric ton. I could see myself getting one.

I am looking forward to seeing some of this new stuff with my own eyeballs at NAMM

And taking some pics for us???

 

[JD27]

The coolest thing I have seen is the TE USA, other than that it's a big old meh this year. Hope for a surprise from the E-II line, but I am losing faith in that happening.

 

[wiretap]

And taking some pics for us???

I will definitely be snagging some photos!

In case any one else here is stalking the Cult 86 too. DCGL has them listed, $1,150. Comes with a case and... a Floyd Special. Meh. Might also have a V neck profile, but I'm only saying that because Vernon seemed to point that out a lot in the ESP interview and it seemed like something crucial to him about the guitar.
Back to the drawing board and finding someone willing to do a gobstopper refinish.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

That's... rather crazy. Seems like it should only be $800 - $900.
