ESP LTD JH-600 Jeff Hanneman Discontinued?

[Metal-Box]

I have one on back-order and noticed it disappeared from the site a little bit ago.

Anyone get some reliable info on the status?

I sent ESP a message, but figured I'd ask the forums.

Thanks!

Hanneman's wife said it will be manufactured from Wylde Audio

Damn, Zakk Wylde? That guy again?

Sounds like another convert to the Ola School of Music Business

Motto "Just DON'T It" (and sell stuff instead)

For real? I wouldn't buy one. Part of the allure of the guitar, for me, is the brand.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Lol.

Weren't they discontinued several months ago? I love mine, kind of odd you don't see them come up for sale often

But only with the Heineken/Hanneman logo version. Gonna buy 2.

Ha ha!

Whelp, ESP customer service confirmed it to me. It’s gone.

correct me if I'm wrong, but this Wylde Audio thing is a joke referencing Dimebag right? Since the Hanneman Custom Shop level guitar is still available in Japan (unless that's also gone, the site's just outdated)?

I am pretty certain the "Jeff Hanneman's wife" bit was a joke.

Correct. Referencing the Rita (Dimebag Estate/Dean Guitars lawsuit, and the fact that Zakk Wylde offered for Wylde Audio to make Dimebag guitars.

There are some real meta jokes going on around the forum this week.

Is that there answer to Ibanez's LACS, the Wylde Audio Custom Kreations?

It will be called the .357 Edition.

Swell joke, wrong thread. The Dime one is down page.

Do you know what the .357 Lawsuit was about? Dime wasn't involved.

Holy shit, talk about scam luthier deep cuts. Totally forgot about that mess.

I thought you were making a Dime gun death joke.

You win.

Buy a toy chopper, get a free zakk wylde epiphone. Sounds legit!

I remember being around for that shitshow.
