ESP 2021 New Models

[TheInvisibleHand]

Maybe people are just referring to no new EII 7s, but there is already a hardtail sparkle EII 7 baritone.... its excellent.

 

[Rotatous]

You mean the only new E-II? Because there are three others available now.

Yes, just talking referring to new E-II 7s for 2021.

I think I'd be more into a "Granite Metallic" finish than the sparkle one they have going on. I sorta hope its darker in person, like these two:

Not sure where these came from exactly, spotted them on a FB group, but people have been wanting some 6 string reverse HS Horizons for a while. Id be surprised if they didn't also do the 7 string versions with these colors.

The Full Thickness Eclipse in Tobacco Burst? (the one with the black hardware and fishman open cores) and the M-I... YES!

Specially the M-I

I like it simple.

I dig that the Horizons are getting satin neck finishes. It’s cool to see the US Eclipse has a Floyd, though I wish the Horizon got one too.
Is semi-hollow this requested?
Surprised EIIs aren’t getting SS frets.
But glad to see more people settling in to the EX.

For the EX specifically, I think getting rid of it for a few years was a good call as it made it a bit more rare and gave the market some time grow and appreciate it for what it is versus comparing it straight to an explorer (bigger/rounder shape, banana headstock vs. sharp and knife headstock).

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.

That jawbreaker finish is amazing.

Next best thing to the Vernon Reid sanded swirl.

Hoping this means the next time they bring back the NV, it actually sells.

I like the two new color additions for the Full thickness Eclipses, waaay better then their first attempt IMO. Hope they will have see thru finish on the back as well..

This doesn't look ecaxtly like I would think tobacco sunburst would look like but it looks great none the less!!

I've always had a soft spot for the the EX shape. The angles and lines are done way better than most of the other explorer-style guitars IMO. A fantasy guitar of mine would be a custom EX 7 string (with the knife edge headstock not that FX one).

I wonder if it's all the black hardware/plastic that's making it look "off?"

I'm personally not a fan of black hardware on more "classic" looking sunbursts, especially with that cream binding.

Really not sure what ESP was going with there. Chrome hardware would have looked so much better.

And the bevels. In this guitar the bevels not only look great but are very comfortable! Aesthetics AND functionality. Win-win!

I actually like this one because of the black hardware, it look less... bright? A bit diffent, a bit darker... I like it. Seems modern

You could be right.. i found this Tobacco sunburst from the discontinued page at the Japanese ESP site:

[Church2224]

I am all over those 7 string M-IIs and the EXs. Good year for ESP in my book.

Now these are some guitars i would absolutely buy.
