Javier Reyes Signature ESP coming next year

[simonXsludge]

Can't say I'm a fan of it. Looks a bit "chubby" and bulky, if that makes sense. The headstock seems huge, too. And yes, just like the Tosin Ibby, it appears to have a bit too much going on.

I hope Javier brings some acoustic type authenticity to the model.

Not bad, actually. I like the odd look as Javier is also a not a "regular guy". Hopefully the price tag will be in line with the LTD pricing.

However, if I had bucket loads of cash I would prefer his 8-string classical guitar from Ortega that had been announced earlier this year. What a stunner that is!

A while ago Javier posted a video with this guitar on his Youtube channel:

It looks like a less edgy Horizon-III with a...different...headstock. It's a weird one, but it definitely works on that guitar.

I hope there are some pics in normal light soon!

schaller hannes on an import what omg

edit: absolutely thrilled that there isnt a carbon fiber pickguard

 

[canuck brian]

Why do artists think that having an incredibly busy looking guitar looks good?

Minus the inlays, it looks great.

Schaller Hannes and the new pickups likely make this a very expensive guitar. Probably on par with the M80M pricewise I'd wager.

That is fvcking gorgeous holy...

idk if itll be that much, 1500$ish is E-II territory but we'll see

edit: and what woods are used for the neck i wonder?

 

[MoshJosh]

I could do without the carbon fiber and inlays but overall I DIG IT!

As mentioned above I'm wondering what this thing will cost. With the bridge and pups I can't imagine it being budget friendly haha and if it is in E-II territory price wise it may get passed up by folks that would rather have an MIJ model

I could see them doing a version with a hipshot though, and that could shave some off the cost. But hey what do I know

 

[Masoo2]

hot af

Hannes

 

[kevdes93]

Looks like extended scale too. I really like this, i can definitely look past the inlays

 

[Draceius]

Welp, well this is going to take a chunk out of my student loan...

 

[ZigglesShredsSevens]

HNNNNNNNNNNG

 

[HighGain510]

Aesthetically it's just too busy-looking for me to get into it. That being said, ERG Hannes bridge is always a cool thing so I'd love to see that refusal to do OEM 7 and 8 string versions go away. I still think that headstock doesn't match the body at all, but ESP has put some really funky headstocks that ruin otherwise-awesome guitars on a lot of pieces in the past so it's not necessarily shocking to me.

I'm a fan of the Horizon III too, so I don't even think it's the body shape itself, just the sum of the parts of this guitar making it really odd-looking. As I said before the carbon fiber looks WAY out of place on this thing too, could have done without it entirely IMHO.

 

[Shimme]

I could do without the carbon fiber, but F---ing love the rest of the guitar. A little over the top, but not cheesy. Depending on the price I might not be able to resist it.

 

[Alice AKW]

The good news? The only carbon fiber bit that is really outstanding is the truss rod cover, which is very, very easily removed/replaced. I uually leave the truss rod covers off on my guitars anyways.

 

[shikamaru]

Schaller Hannes wow the price tag will be stellar on this :s
