Ick. I wonder how much they're charging for slapping a burl veneer on a $180 M10?
These somehow look cool. What's funny is that if these were Schecs I'd hate them with passion for some reason.

I just went to ESP's site to take a look at some LTD models and just noticed the whole LTD Horizon section is no longer there. Unless, I'm blind or something, I can't seem to find it.
Products - LTD Guitars - The ESP Guitar Company
One of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality guitars and basses.www.espguitars.com
If they bring back the LTD H with a real horizon inline headstock, I'm down. Otherwise, LTD is no longer making the H series?
EDIT: Arctic, F, and XTone are all gone from the LTD page. Here is a web archive from April for reference.
I completely agree, that 3+3 always looked terrible on the horizon body. With that said, I do think it looks really good on the F series, other than that, it doesn't work on anything, IMO.Please, oh please stop using that horrendous "flag" headstock or whatever the fuck they call it. Short of random hack "luthiers" making their own guitars, I legitimately think that the 3x3, 3x4 etc. headstock they've been using on the H models is the worst headstock shape ever.
Waiting for someone to quote this with something way worse, but I'm just going to bury my head in the sand and die on this hill I've made for myself.

I don't think they have made LTD Horizons for some time? They have the MH, H3, and just added the '87 Horizons. I don't think they want to spend the time carving a Horizon top, so largely just don't.
No, those are all good.I'm 32, and when I first started getting into metal/metalcore, a lot of bands played LTDs, like this one:

I think there was a black or white one with EMGs, too. The other ones in heavy rotation were ECs in either black cherry or the flatblack with gold hardware (they still make that one today, I think).
So I'm actually partial to this 3x3 headstock, just because that's what I remember ESP should not listen to me, though, because I won't be buying either way loll.
Ooooh! gotcha, sorry, everyone, I'm like a little kid walking into the middle of a movie asking what it's aboutNo, those are all good.

No there is another one that is just as or more disgusting.No, those are all good.

Doesn't work on sixes, works slightly better on sevens, works best on my seven because I sawed the end off, plugged the far Machine Head holes on the 3 side and moved them back inline with the 4 side.No, those are all good.

I keep saying that I don’t like the cock stock, but then I see a Horizon or H3 like this with the big DGAF block logo instead of the script at the very tip, and it just works.
I don't get the hate for these (apart from the burl top which I'm not a fan of either):Ick. I wonder how much they're charging for slapping a burl veneer on a $180 M10?
What pickups are in it? I didn't know about the roasted neck. I thought it was just the M10 with a burl veneer and pickup covers.I don't get the hate for these (apart from the burl top which I'm not a fan of either):
• They are made of poplar - so are a lot of Jacksons (even some of their signature guitars), and other low to mid priced guitars
• Roasted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
• The stock pickups are decent - at least not considered garbage when reading about them in other LTD guitars
I might be partial though, I'm looking for a fixed-bridge 6-string guitar and this one just checks almost all of the boxes. I might go with an RG421, though.
LH-150s. Sure, not big brand name pickups.What pickups are in it? I didn't know about the roasted neck. I thought it was just the M10 with a burl veneer and pickup covers.
I don't mind poplar at all. Or basswood.
Wow, that's somehow even worse than the F headstockFinding a picture is a pain in the ass but this short lived monstrosity was used between the dog penis and the F headstock. It's basically an eclipse 3x3 with a narrowed top.View attachment 145834View attachment 145835
not sure why brand keep going down the fakey looking flashy top instead of a satin white or something
