ESP Owners Club-Show Us Your ESPs!

[longfxukxnhair]

I was recently in the market for an ESP M-II maple, and saw the new one-off ESP M-II Custom Nick (Zimbloth here) from The Axe Palace had in his store. Couldn't get it out of my head for days, so I bought the damn thing

Sorry about the pics, they're the best I could do without taking it outside. I took the pics earlier - it's now 9pm here in the middle of a summer heatwave and it's still 40 degrees celcius out there.

Custom 5/'59 combo, and it's quite refreshing to not have the 12th fret ESP inlay. The sustain on this one is nearly twice that of my ESP Horizon FR, and it screams harmonically, too.

DAMN! No wonder you couldnt get her out of your head.

Had to let my Eclipse go, the one I posted pictures of earlier. Such a shame, really great guitar

The silver lining here is that I happened to grab a new guitar to tide me over the grief, and not a too bad guitar either.

Always been partial to M-II specs..

For once a matching headstock

The whole thing

Yay! A 2001 CS M-II. True tonal monster - I just can't wait to equip her with some Duncans. Already got a Custom trembucker put aside for this. I need to grab something for the neck position and that's it.

Hey, tons of beautiful guitars here... Here's my main axe, a 1996 Standard Series "The Eclipse", with stock in-house pickups (which are great IMHO) and black hardware (which is starting to show some rust along the edges, might have to go for replacement parts sometime). It still has the original Eclipse body form and cutaway and 24 frets, which was changed already in 1997, AFAIK. They just don't make 'em like that anymore

"The Eclipse" That's awesome

"The Eclipse" That's awesome

Thanks! Yeah, this is a keeper. Some guy offered me a brand new Axe-FX II (with foot controller!) for this guitar, which is WAY over resale value, but it'll stay with me. The quality is fantastic.

I've got little to no information on this. I got it about five years ago from a shop i worked in but all we could find out about it was that it had 1990 date and had R.Hino stamped on the inside of the neck cavity. It's sort of a mint green holoflake finish. I've seen others similar in pink and light blue but never another green one and they never have the three individual flick switches. This also has a natural neck whereas the others have colour coded headstocks. I think it was produced when ESP were still making parts for other companies.

 

[Riffmeister2000]

This looks like it's either custom made or heavily modded. The neck with the clear headstock finish looks a lot like the one on pre-1996 George Lynch Sunburst Tiger models, but those don't say "Custom", I think.

Heres mine! Bought it today!
ESP Brett Garsed Signature Horizon! (dislike the duncans in them though ): )

I'm too picky with ESP, I swear by my EC-1000 deluxe.. I will gladly spring for the ESP Eclipse when I can get one in SW with 24 frets.. maybe maple fret.. maybe 7 string

 

[Sleazy_D]

Just got this. KH-503 from 2002. dude put 81's in it, came with the actual ltd sig case. licensed floyd tho. got it for mere pennies, i actually felt bad, only for a second haha.

My Horizon FR-II.

wow. just. wow.

 

[bulletproof_funk]

Necrobump! I am now a proud owner of a LTD Elite Horizon-III FR. Having no previous experience with ESP/LTD, I now I finally see for myself what the deal is: quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, the setup is perfect and it plays and sounds great. Also great bang for the buck at this price range. Probably my new #1.

Excuse the crappy iPhone pic that follows.
