That shop always has the sickest custom ESPs. Whoever they've got picking the specs has great taste.

It's a weird thing in that whatever I order, it shows up on a different guitar there first. Either we're totally in synch or somebody there is asking ESP like, "got any cool specs we can double up on for a discount?"

I love how when I was coming up you had to have the sun shine out the crack of your ass to get a sig from any big brand manufacturer. Now it seems like the only thing that matters is how close to the most popular level of functionally retarded you are.

"We have an EP and rarely play shows, but with 20k IG followers" Oh, fucking signed then- for one guitar though. You guys are gonna milk yourselves.

Bands practically can't afford to tour and play live anymore here in the West, unless they are willing to perform and tour at a financial loss. So, the game for exposure has shifted. And thus, it seems like social media traffic (in the form of YouTube views, follower counts, etc.) is the only metric that gear companies can use to gauge if an artist can effectively shill gear or not.
