ESP 2021 New Models

[jnthrngd]

Has Kirk ever played the KH-DC live? I never even knew it existed until there was one used at GC not long ago, but I have legitimately zero memory of seeing him in a photo with one.

yeah mainly around 2011/2012 or so

Interesting that they’re saying essentially “look we may even do some limited runs, and if you don’t see everything you like now we may have some more this summer”. Historically “summer NAMM” was usually refreshes/adjustments to new offerings that proved to be super popular right?

I’m assuming global manufacturing not being up to normal yet will give a lot of companies pause in “overloading” a lineup this year. $0.02

I have heard there’s gonna be something cool
Later this year. No details but I’m setting aside some $$ just in case

See, after this week my COB fanboy hype is at full mast so like if they were talking SV’s I’d be pre-hyped. But with no info I’m back to that E-II Sparklepony M7. (I will also 100% be calling it that from now on.)

That green really does make it look more unique/special.

Still waiting for some bass announcements. All we've seen so far are like 4 models, two of which is just a different finish with no new features. I know they aren't know for their basses, but gimme something sweet next week in the final announcements!

Kind of expected to see the Phoenix back in the E-II line. The VP of ESP USA confirmed they were going to be in the line up in a Facebook post last year before they delayed all the new E-IIs at NAMM. Maybe they will be along later in the year like they mentioned at the end of the Phase 3 releases.

View attachment 88733 I swear to god ESP is spying on me. Except I was planning on doing a jawbreaker finish on a jazzmaster lol

That finish reminds me of this album cover.

The US style horn doesn’t look near as good. Lame

I would have been waaaayyyyy into that when I was about fourteen.
Not even kidding that much.

The KH3 is such a cool guitar and I wish Kirk would bring it out of retirement. I loved watching him play Creeping Death with it on the Cunning Stunts DVD.

Why the heck is the urban camo LTD M-200 so hard to find? It's an inexpensive guitar made in China but damn near impossible to find. I'd really like to have one but no such luck.

There's one on reverb right now, in addition to the facebook listing someone else sent.

woodstock 94 for me. That and his ouija.

The KH3 is live on the site: https://www.espguitars.com/pages/kh-3-spider

no mention of it being limited so that’s good!

Looks like they updated the website too.

Found this sunburst finish SC-20!

[Forkface]

for whoever is interested, looks like the KH3 (the expensive version) is already up for Preorder on the Axepalace.

 

[soul_lip_mike]

A little bummed to find out the KH3 will not be in limited quantities mostly because I was able to reserve one, lol.

 

[Trashgreen]

Both looks awesome, definitely the best LTD version of the KH3 model to date!!

 

[Trashgreen]

See thru back, thank you!
