ESP NAMM 2020 thread

The MSRPs are the same, it's likely an inventory control measure (sale) to move the previous year's inventory.

I'm pretty sure the floyded version was at this price, or at least a similar price, for the whole year.

Edit: Yes, a price researching engine, which also logs prices, says that the floyded version was pretty much the same price all of 2019: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/6308434_-m-black-metal-ltd-guitars.html
Makes the thomann price for the hardtail version even more stupid.

What????

PS: I don't like the burl, is just the first M1000 on the webpage...

I want bigger dots.

Hahahhaa there's always something to complain about... I want the money to buy it!! See?

 

[Mathemagician]

Oh I wasn’t really complaining. I think it’s looks very sleek and modern with the small dots. I’ve just been on an 80’s Jackson/ESP kick lately.

this fade is amazing. they really need to take that pickguard off though; it should be criminal to cover up that top.

I’m seriously debating the black metal 7. I just really want a neck pickup. Otherwise specs/price is very attractive.

It’s glorious, now I want another BM 6. The 6 string version is very appealing based on how much I like the 7, but I got a FR itch that needs scratching at the moment.

 

[Nightside]

Jesus! I was interested in this baritone black metal M7 until I saw the price. 1200 euros at Thomann! I will probably just go with the RGIXL7 for 900

These Indo guitars are getting expensive as fucking fuck but still come with no case just makes it feel even more of a rip-off.

How about the Alex Wade model? Has a neck pickup and is also all black.

Yoooo the specs on that are a LOT better than I had anticipated. I’d love it in almost any color but black, but otherwise it’s very very attractive. Anyone played one? I tried his prior model in a store and found the neck a bit thicker than I expected. But it was only once and could just have been me fighting a bad setup. Still though, 27”, SS frets, D’activator pickups.

That’s initially what I wanted over the BM 7. I haven’t seen any hit the streets yet, not even an estimated date for them.

LTD's now (1000 series and some other models) can be either Indo or Korean, sometimes even the exact same model can be made in both locations!

The stock photos they have for each (I think these are photos of previous guitars they had in stock) says the HT is Korea and the Floyd is Indonesia. This may explain the nearly identical prices (only $50 more for the Floyd version). The HT costs more in terms of labor than the Floyd because Korean labor is more expensive than Indonesia--generally speaking.
