April fools joke?

April fools joke?

I don't think so.

I think this may actually be true. His wife posted a red guitar with a recessed locking Tun-O-Matic on 2/26 that I think may just be a new prototype.

God damn that man lost some weight?!

This guy has been doing the exact same guitar in three companies already

If it ain't broke dont fix it lol

Mick Thompson?

oh no i mispelled his last name, I should commit sudoku

 

[jerrodxmichael]

I am personally curious to see what becomes of this switch. Feels likes just running through everyone at this point. ESP handing out endorsements like crazy lately though

 

[Carrion Rocket]

From the live video I've seen he used at least three esp models. Jim was still using his fenders and charvels.

I am here for this. I didn't expect him to leave Jackson, he talked so highly of them when he got his signature, but I guess it just wasn't working out.

Fender will do everything in their power to not get rid of Jim lmao. I'm surprised about Mick though, seems like they were spoiling him too.

Also just watched the video, and dude even brought out an Eclipse of all guitars. Weird seeing Mick with a Les Paul shape lol

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Lmao at officially switching companies on April Fools day of all days too

An endorser with a signature guitar talking highly about their endorsees? Who would have thought!

 

[SalsaWood]

His Jackson is just a black or white Soloist, right?

Hoping his ESP has more going on, even if it's just gloss red.

Also hoping it's nothing like his BC Rich sigs.

If this gets a cool hardtail/TOM M-II CTM in a LTD form, I'm all for it.

 

[groverj3]

Haven't seen his models in stock in quite some time. The cycle of new endorsements continues to turn!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

But yeah I am curious if that red guitar is an ESP prototype he couldn't fully show off because of his Jackson contract and his deal ended right on April 1st. Then yeah I'm guessing this has been in the works for a bit now. I guess ESP pulled an Alexi Laiho lol

There’s an esp in the background of that red guitar photo also.
