New ESP Whitechapel Signatures!

[Ben.Last]

FYI I would have loved to do a Telecaster 7 signature based off of my custom but I was not allowed to due to Stephen Carpenters claim on it. I don't know if they are going to do a signature series Tele 7 and 8 for him in the US, but I know in Japan he has a Tele 7 signature for sale and he just got those sick custom Tele 8's, so I would say eventually he will release both in the US.

That sounds kind of silly on their part. I mean, how many 7 string super strat models do they make? Why is there a limit on how many 7 string teles they'll do?

you should change yoursig to "official whitechapel signature esp pimp"

hahaha until people start getting to play them themselves, I feel its only fair that I say how sweet they were

Yep they are coming up. Here, hi-res pics for the ZH-7, nothing yet for AW-7 but I am on it

ESP LTD ZH-7 Zach Householder Electric Guitar in See Thru Black Satin. Instock! | eBay

EDIT: Does ESP use the same convention in serial numbers as Ibanez? Seems to me the S/N says this guitar was made in April 2012.

i like it.......but i want passive!!!

Then have a local tech install passives? Its easy and you can buy a plastic cover so it fits in the active spacings. Definitely worth the little extra effort to get a guitar you dig! Lastly - sell the EMG's for a profit!

That works too

The ZH-7 is pretty much perfect. I'd prefer it with a different bridge (similar to the BS-7 or a Floyd) but I could settle with EMG's. It's just so sexy.

if they made a electric green, or the "dorothy", or some blue crayon color with white racer strips versions of the SC-607b as theyre Signatures, THEY WILL OWN theyre current sigs...

i mean they look cool because theyre not black, but other than that... buff..

Ugh, my guitar should be here next week and I'm starting to have second thoughts...

Initially I didn't care for the AW-7, but lately it has really grown on me, to the point I imagine myself playing it. I hope Buz made one hell of a guitar.

Actually I am exactly the opposite LOL I love the AW-7 and was waiting the minute it becomes available but after seeing the BS7 recent pics, now I am considering getting it! I'll get a Tremol-no to help with my Floyd blues + a brass block.
My only gripes w/ Ben's model is that it has a 3 way (not 5) selector and no tone control. Tone control is no deal breaker and I could later install a push-pull volume pot to split the coils (would that work?).

But man, this thing looks yummi

All 3 look great, but the ZH-7 is perfection. I can't wait until there is some used ones floating around so I can possibly afford one.

Mine will come into Australia in August, should be pretty mint.

Did I miss this earlier in the thread? I thought zachs guitar had a slightly longer scale neck then the others... Everywhere is listing it as 25.5. I swear I remember seeing it be like 26'?

His Prototype has the 26 scale neck, the production models are 25.5

Find a good camera now so its ready because everyone gets too excited on delivery day and resorts to cellphone photos!

Can't wait to hear about it!

 

[Heineken]

Lots of sunny days here, I'm taking this sukah outside!

 

[Grack]

Have they even started shipping AW-7s? I was sure I was going to see tons of AW-7 NGDs but thus far there have only been 2, and one of them was someone who bough it at a Guitar Center.

What I understood in that case is that Guitar Center, as an authorized ESP dealer, made a special order for the AW-7, so it wasn't like the AW-7 was hanging on the wall for display or anything.

 

[Heineken]

Well mine has been shipped from the place I bought it from , so I'll be posting a NGD either this Friday or early next week
