Totally agree. The Direction is $450. Wild. I’ll take a Hipshot for $100, Bob.

Those pickup rings are pretty cool, but yikes on pricing. Still want them though.

Haha trust me it's not about being good, it's about your wrist. I have wrist issues so I notice. You'll probably notice, but I doubt it would be an issue for you.

$1000 for a bass bridge? No, thanks...

ESP launches line of custom anodized phones:
They do look good. It always struck me as strange how anything from an Epiphone junior to the highest end ESP custom shop is still using super cheap and shitty, ugly coloured plastic for pickup rings.
I could imagine the silver, brown, black etc looking amazing on normal finishes. And the bright colours are awesome if you’re doing some themed build.

Two original series and a custom, sounds pretty good
This is ultra late, but there was an M-II Custom that popped up on Yahoo Aucs, and I thought about sending it to you. Not sure if it's your thing, but remembered you had all the M-II Customs.

Bright and cheap looking they may be, they aren’t plastic.

Heard the Good News about Maple Fretboards?
Nothing about the current configuration, but my 97 USA Horizon was built by John Gaudesi who is now a Schecter Masterbuilder.
Also, that guitar is incredible.
actually they are not as bad as they seem. i was in the midst of specing out my custom guitar and originally had a quote for a floyd - when i saw these designs, i decided i needed to have them. swapped out my floyd for the direction bridge and also the pickup rings for no extra cost. maybe my dealer was being nice, but it definitely isnt as bad as it seems
A cool NGD, I picked this Eclipse up without realizing it was a NAMM piece from this year lol. This is my first USA ESP and my first Eclipse.
Musician's Friend listed it a few months back and I really liked it, but I assumed it would be one of the 'limited' runs like the myrtlewood/black limba ones for example. None of the details on the site were accurate, just generic copy paste from a mahogany / maple USA Eclipse.
But I liked this particular top so I called to order it a couple weeks ago and to confirm the specs, even got a little discount from them, and was nicely surprised when I got the spec sheet, and later on found it in all of the ESP walk through videos I had already watched. Totally stoked! Plays as nice as you'd expect of course. SNS pups.

Oh wow, that's definitely my kind of an M-II :O I'm sure that's not in my budget, on the other hand

It was less $2K, if I remember correctly. Here's another interesting one that just popped up. And there's a plain black one (like your other ones) for $1K.

Where do I find the black one for 1k?It was less $2K, if I remember correctly. Here's another interesting one that just popped up. And there's a plain black one (like your other ones) for $1K.
Who did you go through for the pickguard? I had used one from terrapin island but it was slightly off on the lower horn.

I’m not the best at figuring these things out. There isn’t an option to translate the auction. It looks like it is damaged or dirty? How do I go about finding more details. I’d really like to buy it.
