Hi there,
This has been a while in the making, but yesterday I finally managed to get the guitar back from being set up and took a few photos as well..
Here are the specs.
ESP Horizon III, Custom Shop (one off) model by Craft House
Alder Body
Maple Neck (3 piece, NT)
A slightly fatter Thin U -profile
Ebony fretboard
25.5", of course
Original Floyd Rose
Full binding
BKP Nailbomb in the bridge, Painkiller in the neck.
Here are my two babies, the JEM and the ESP. The JEM ('88) with BKPs has been so far the best sounding guitar I've ever heard or played (truly, bar none), but now I don't know anymore
This is the guitar that replaced by Blackmachine B6. I was simply unhappy with the way the B6 sounded. I felt it was kind of dull, sterile and lifeless. Definitely great for djent, but I needed something else for my needs.
Well, this is something else. The wood of the body resonates in an incredible way. Strum one string gently and you can feel it in the whole body. The tone is very full bodied, even fat, clear and singing. The pickups suit this guitar really well.
When first playing the guitar after plugging it in, I felt like someone had turned on the reverb without me noticing. It's incredible how good the simplest chords can sound with the right guitar. It seems like the notes will ring forever. The leads sound full bodied and truly sing, I'm enjoying playing solos and melodies in a whole new way with this guitar. When chugging riffs the sound is, of course, still full and also really clear. It's very, very powerful and strong.
I don't know really what else to tell. Feel free to shoot me with any questions! I had the guitar setup and it plays like a dream, feels really solid and the finishing on the guitar is simply perfect. I feel like a better player with this guitar, I love the way it sounds and I love the way it feels like it has a soul of its own. I'm not sure the pickup covers are the best match for this guitar, but since I had them already, I thought I'd have them installed and well, they don't look nearly as bad as I thought..
Here's hoping this guitar will stay with me for a long, long time!
