ESP 2021 New Models

For those curious about the scale length of the MSV-1... it indeed is 24.75.

They went all out and made an Arrow-shaped Les Paul.

Which is odd because I asked Mike on two separate occasions and both times he confirmed it was 25.5". I really don't know what to think now.

Not odd when you consider he loves LPs. He basically wanted an Arrow with LP specs.

Reminds me when Alex Wade was adamant the 2nd version of his sig (the walnut AW7B) was a 27'' scale length, but ended up being 26.5''. The 3rd (current) version DID end up finally being 27''.

Yo gibson scale is the jam, bends and slink for days in lower tunings

I have big ass hands, 24.75 gets too cramped in the upper frets for me.
slink/easier bends is just due to lower string tension. Scale barely plays into tension in this situation.

"The Scale of this guitar is 25.5 - like other Arrow LTDs. Although i did start on a single cut style guitar once I evolved to the FLOYD ROSE bridge I started down the path of falling in love the bigger scale. For me the slightly bigger scale allows for more accuracy and I dont mind it at all. To me F spaced strings and 25.5 scale give me plenty of room to get expressive while still tight enough for that speed I need!"

From a comment Mike made on https://www.espguitars.com/videos/2039884

In Omega's book, everything is soooo wrong with those Arrows
The cherry red has no reverse headstock and has EMGs
The black and white ones have reversed headstocks but don't have Floyd
Mike's one has reversed headstock, Floyd but only one pick-up

Really like the Cherry Red one (as it has a Kai Hansen vibe), but I think the Andromeda finish is better

Someone posted an "updated" schedule or something some pages back, or maybe in the general "NAMM" thread. Could have sworn.

Satin satin satin satin

The arctic white 6 string is the hottest of the new guitars I have seen so far! And im usually drooling over Ibanez
I had big GAS for the Black metal 6 with fixed bridge from last year but this is a step up man, i dont even mind the pickup ring

Me neither. But they emailed me twice telling me to click the link and watch the live event on their homepage. I get there, and nothing.

2 hours and 50 minutes from this post should be the next and final preview.

Central european time should be 19.00, 23.00 and 03.00 unless I missed something. I watched last re-play last night 03.00 (central european time).

It seems like there is one show starting 10.00 local time LA USA. Then it gets re-played 14.00 and 18.00 (local USA LA time)

ESP, just post a damn video. Nobody has the energy for this hyped up teaser bullshit right now...
