I always LOVED the look of the Horizon II. That and the cockstock makes for some of the best looking guitars.

God how I envy you :lol:

Awesome!

I have a technical house 7 string, the guys at ESP really do make great sounding guitars. Actually every custom ESP from Japan I've played no matter the shop that built it has been superb. They sound so vocal when not plugged in too. Any chance of some clips?

Holy shit I jizzed. Why is it a Horizon III? It doesnt resemble the Horizon II at all. Something about the way its designed makes the neck look suuuuper long to me.

That looks great with the binding on the body, they should really put it on the standard models but whatever :)

Epic NGD! I have a Horizon NT-ii. ESPs are money. Some of the best out there for sure.

Say, how do you find having an alnico pickup in the bridge and a ceramic in the neck (the PK being the only ceramic neck bareknuckle)?

And to the above: all North-American Horizons and Eclipses have binding I believe. Only the lowest of the low-end LTDs don't.

Nice. :)
Btw, I'd have thought a CS 1off could dispense with the ###### inlay at the 12th fret that spoils all ESPs in my eyes.

My gas for a Blackmachine is going down by the month these days... a little odd %80 of the people that buy em, sell em right after they get em.

BTW, That ESP is fuckin sweet, and full of win. :hbang:

i agree, i have played my friends blackmachine and it was nothing special, good craftsmaship but lifeless and dull , he tried changing pickups but it did nothing , he sold it shortly after. i like guitars with finishes on the body IMO BM are over rated for the time and money ppl just want them because its a black machine, i would much rather have a daemoness. just my 2 cents:hbang:

wow with both the op's and your opinion on the bm (b6 im guessing right?) i feel like mine must be special or something haha, because its definitely one of the best sounding guitars i own, and i own/have owned a lot of guitars haha.
