ESP 2021 New Models

[cardinal]

Yeah it'll be a Schecter just deciding if I can live with an import Floyd or if I can justify a Hantug. Was planning to order it last year, but you know...

I have several guitars with the import Floyd 8 and never any problems. But Hantug is a super nice guy and his stuff looks amazing.

So there was a lot of new LTD, quite a bit of E-II

Where was Original and USA?

Someone mentioned Snapper 7 above, but I can't find it on the site

No new Originals as far as I can see

I just don’t think the US site is updated yet, but did they mention new originals?
I still want that offset Horizon.

Yeah it’s definitely a little pricey. Ikebe-Gakki has the 8-string @464,000 yen, but after shipping I imagine it get’s pretty close to 500,000.

Last year the ESP USA site wasn’t updated until the end of June. Not sure if C-19 was a contributing factor.

Again, I don't see any new originals listed on the site (at least not Horizons, H3, Eclipse or Arrows)

I don't think the KH-3 counts, since it's limited edition custom shop

they updated the prices on the esp USA models. its up $200 for the base models. trust them to update whats most important first

I like how the wider, longer neck makes the Snapper 24-fret body look less awkward IMHO.

I've been musing over that guitar, but the cost puts it in the realm of a custom Schecter which could be spec'd exactly how you'd want it.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Okay yeah that 8-string Snapper looks hot.

 

[Crash Dandicoot]

But you'd still be 50% screwed at some shops, even if you were here

As in they are available in most shops? Not sure I follow your meaning.

I'd love a 24-fret 6 string Snapper (and likely will get one at some point), but the extra material removed definitely gives them a slightly different vibe. Not necessarily awkward in my eyes, just different.

 

[jephjacques]

fuck, that Snapper 8 owns

Like if he was referring to "trying one out" outside of Japan he's screwed. But even inside Japan there's a good number of shops that will still be reluctant to let you try it out on the high end stuff.

I noticed the urban camo MII I just picked up last summer got a $200 price hike. ESP seems to be going up pretty quickly in price the past few years. I got a green SC20 the year they came out for $899. Now the blue and sunburst are $1099, granted you get a case now and I didn’t. I expect the SC LTD models will be 1500 here pretty quick, the 8 string anyways. I also noticed the single pickup SN-1 appears to be $100 more than last years 2 pickup SN-1000. In my opinion the Black Metal series seems to be the best value they have going now in terms of quality and specs relating to price.

Everything is going up and lack of availability isn't going to help that at all. But there's really no question, the Black Metal and Arctic Metals are incredible deals. My Black Metal M is an insanely sick guitar and I got it used for $500 in amazing condition.

If I understand it right, are they still releasing more stuff midway through 2021? There is a bass I thought was coming in the new year release, but no mention of it.

Is it because you're a foreigner or they just don't want dents/scratches on the very expensive stuff?

curious too. I saw some stuff posted on Instagram for ESP presents 2021 by their USA painter. HTTPS://Instagram.com/spongebrick

These are the two (updated) models I thought were coming out. Since they're both Ltd, I figured it's likely proof that they're going to be production models. Really hoping that bass is released. Been wanting to try bass Fishmans and that finish and the body shape work really well together.
