New LTD Models: 2022 edition

[davedeath]

It's pretty sure it's easier to get the ltds out there vs eii. Plus the ltds definitely move more...

I wish they'd do more E-II signature guitars. I can't justify a $5,000 KH-2 but wouldn't hesitate to pay an extra $700-$800 over a KH-602 for something nicer.

I may be out of touch, but aren’t bolt on KH2’s like $2.5-3k? I didn’t even look it up I’m just in shock. Brb.

The bolt-on models have been discontinued for a few years now.

There's a couple on Reverb for $2,800 but they're not in the greatest shape, plus the bolt-on KH-2s have always rubbed me the wrong way for whatever reason. If they release a camo Snakebyte I'll get my credit card out so fast I'll give myself wallet-burn, if not I'm waffling back and forth between an EII MII and an MJ Dinky.

The lack of bolt-on, reverse headstocked, H/S configed M-IIs in any of ESPs product lines is a bit disappointing, wish they’d use the ongoing 90’s obsession as an excuse to bring back some cool 90’s looking M-IIs.

This, and cockstocks.

It's crazy that when I first started playing ~20 years ago I absolutely hated the cockstock, now I love it.

Horizons get reversed headstocks and cockstocks ONLY.

We already discussed this some pages back. It’s not getting a LTD release. At least, not for awhile. Although, it totally should.

Bill’s two existing signature models thus far aren’t hot sellers in the market; and ESP/LTD just dumped a bunch of money into revising Bill’s Sparrowhawk by discontinuing the blue and green models and now offering just basic, boring, solid black with Duncan Distortions as the pickups now. (No more Lace, yet still maintaining the high price-point as if the Lace pickups were still in the guitar.) The Bill signature Eclipse is probably going to follow suit and get the same treatment, then that’ll be it.

This makes me terribly sad. Next time I see a blue Sparrowhawk up for sale I should grab it.

I'm waiting too.

I saw on another forum that it's another EC-1000 CTM in gold? Might have misread.

...They were correct

LTD Deluxe EC-1000T CTM in Vintage Gold Satin finish



The quality is crispy but I'm getting Randy Rhoads vibes. I'm betting the color will be more metallic.

 

[Chanson]

T CTM designates full thickness but chambered body, right?

 

[I play music]

Now imagine if that was full thickness and non chambered

i think it is full thickness but might be chambered, good thing in my book
de t in the name is for traditional or so

Haha, just realized that and edited my post simultaneously. I would prefer non chambered for such a classic looking aesthetic, but damn that looks like a lot of good things on paper overall

a Randy Rhoads LP that one can actually afford without the pickguard that a lot remove anyways and then have the screwholes

Why black knobs with gold hardware? Or is that lighting?

No fucking clue what they were thinking. I know that they have a sunburst one with black hardware and a red one with gold hardware. I guess they ran out of parts?

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Because that's what LPCs have.

 

[xzacx]

What color knobs do you guys think it should have had? That is THE look for that style guitar.
