ESP Huge changes for 2013

[Stuck_in_a_dream]

I cannot STAND the aesthetics of that Evertune bridge. Might just be me, but it is such an eyesore to me personally.

It looked great when in black (not chrome) on the Ola youtube video I posted. If ESP decided to go with chrome, then they should have gone with a different body color other than black, my 2 cents.

Absolutely nothing there that catches my eye Ah well, still want one of their Whitechapel sigs.

The LP-style tuners are a nice touch on the Eclipses... except for the abalone-bound purple one, vintage looking tuners don't really fit such a modern looking finish I think.

Overall I'd say I like the more classy, less über metal approach this year. Ibanez seem to be doing the same as well.

 

[Bekanor]

I sense a maple M-1000 and a Steph Carpenter Tele 7 in my future.

 

[Nightside]

As an ESP fan boy I say meh.

What is the difference between the Hammett and Hanneman 200s and 330s apart from actual black hardware instead of the current cosmo?

 

[Jakke]

There's a Kahler on the Hanneman as opposed to the Floyd on the KH.

No I mean the difference between the new 2013 sig models mentioned and the 2012 versions. There are already KH200 and JH200 models that seem to have the same specs apart from the hardware color.

I don't think so... Looks like only the pickups are different. They're ESP-branded actives instead of the active-covered passives.

bMusic just released the LTD catalogue on Facebook

Hmmm, I'm curious to see how it'll compares to the one I currently own.

 

[jordanky]

^^^ I wish I would have picked one of those up when a few guys blew them out last year. I had the cash and everything. I bet it rules!

It's funny because as soon as I seen that I thought of you

You've got that right!

 

[epsylon]

Oh god, the laughs I had when re-reading page 4 and 5 of this thread.

The only saving grace to this new line of guitars in my opinion is the Ltd Stef T7, which I love.

 

[Sleazy_D]

EC baritone looks dope as sh!t

The sexiness in this picture is extremely rough on my jeans.

Not might be. Are after 2013.

 

[Church2224]

Ah yeah you are right.

I am not complaining, the current LTD Elites look good, plus they do come in left handed models for our lefty brothers.

 

[Uno Mas]

I know it has been said that Signatures will only be available through the custom shop. Does this mean all Signatures including those only available in the LTD line (AW-7, Hex-7, etc.)?

 

[Church2224]

No, the LTD Sigs seem to be staying. They just meant the ESP ones. Although I hope to see LTD Elites ones in the future.

 

[Uno Mas]

I agree I would love to see some of the LTD Signatures move up to the Elite line.
