I agree, that logo makes me want to vomit.
that's so METAL:hbang:



I never knew a logo could make a guitar play horribly. Thank you guys for educating me on this.

:rolleyes:

I keep forgetting how much a little 2-inch decal on the headstock can piss people off.

It could be made in Japan, and have high quality parts, but GOD FORBID it have a certain logo.

I've seen limited shop runs of genuine MIJ ESP Eclipse guitars that had the old blocky logo and it was like a dagger to the retina. An Eclipse/EC doesn't work on a basic, structural level if it doesn't have the handwritten-esque logo.

well'dunno if you like the new logo or not,but in case you'd be the first and only to appreaciate it i guess:lol: it doesn't suck too hard,it just doesn't look as good as the old one to me:shrug:


Seriously,sounds weird,but a logo can make a huge difference on a guitar:ugh:

meh, in 2 years we'll be used to this and no one will make a point of it.

Yes, we'll probably get used to it, but at the moment the new logo is awful and those guitars with the old logo will surely be more treasured because of it.

In my opinion just less character and I dislike they use the same font as on the LTD's.

LOL! Welcome to the interwebs; the place where you can register your hatred of things that don't matter a whole lot.
JESUS CHRIST I WOULD BUY THAT GUITAR IF THE TRUSS ROD WAS LIME GREEN

Guess I'll have to start saving for a custom replica....

Maybe it's just me, but when they decided that they wanted to make "ESP" more exclusive, why use the same font?

Because the ESP STANDARD series is getting the font. ESP CUSTOM is keeping the old font.

It's like what BC Rich does.
