I just see LTD, no ESP. Either way, I'm glad to see those new 7 strings

 

[TomParenteau]

Too much rosewood.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Definitely wana try out the EC and V 7 strings, and the EC FMs look really nice buy god dammit EMG need to fuck off a bit. One of the main things stopping me from getting ESP/LTDs is the sheer number of models that use them.

 

[Adam Of Angels]

Yeah, EMG using bass pickup housing on their 7 string models have nearly ruined the 7 string market for me... that's a dead horse though.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

All of these are welcome additions to the lineup.

 

[Adam Of Angels]

No kidding - the Eclipse, V and Explorer are all guitars that I'd play. Throw in some Blackouts or an extra 9v and you're set. Indonesian/Korean quality has impressed me a lot in the last two years.

 

[poisonelvis]

ex-307 but with a kahler=damn sexy....gas!

 

[ESPfanboy]

Not enough ebony and to much EMG.

 

[gunch]

I like that reindeer blue EC. It's also good to see them put more p90 guitars in.

 

[NeglectedField]

I'll have a V-307 or EX-307 thanks! A 6-string version of that 3-aside layout would be good, mind.

Does the US even get new ESPs anymore? It seems we just get table scraps.

You're expecting ebony from LTDs? Not that they're bad guitars by any means, but you need to have more reasonable expectations.

I would've preferred passives also, but that's as far as I'll talk about this. It's good that they're offering shapes other than the super-strat though. The more the merrier?

The LTD series guitars aren't $200 Strat copies. These can get into the $800 to $1100 range. In fact there are LTDs already with Ebony boards.

Agile doesn't seem to have a problem putting it on $300 ALs.

 

[PyramidSmasher]

Fuckers, why cant we get some of those finishes on the MHNTs? I feel like theyve been ignoring MHs recently.

Some companies offer mahogany bodies and ebony boards on their Korean guitars...

cough-Bcrich-cough

Fixed.

I do really dig B.C.Rich's offering still.

 

[Esp Griffyn]

Fixed.

I do really dig B.C.Rich's offering still.

Well, who is to say? I'm certainly not scraping the the finish off mine to find out! Though I do accept it's not going to be the same quality / density as the high grade stuff, but who else is offering original Floyd Rose Trems, EMGs and ebony at £600?

And as for the sound, I've never had any complaints!

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Well, who is to say?

B.C.Rich actually. They're not hiding that fact, but embracing it.

Like I said, I dig what B.C.Rich is doing.

Those vipers are sexy sexy.
