NGD! ESP Custom Shop Seven String H-III!

[Kamikaze7]

Mine Too! ;D

WOW. Any chance we can see a bigger picture of these, say body or whole guitar shots???

Thanks man! I'm a longtime ESP fan & collector myself. I've not had a 7string in a while though, so it never occured to me to come and post here until recently! Great to see so many ESP fans and even some familiar faces in this thread

Even more cool! Welcome to the forum!

Thanks man Sure, i could post some shots of those guitars - they're all 6 stringers aside from the new addition, whereabouts on the forum would be most appropriate for such gratuitous gear porn?

I now have severe GAS for a set neck maple with two ebony stringers, korina body and dark purple flamed maple top with this headstock, body shape and with passives that are purple and black, oh my!

I have a pretty sweet ESP Forest custom with a purple flametop and purple pickups. It's a great look!

Looks like it will hunt you wond while youre asleep

 

[AfroSamurai]

Lots of purple guitars in there, that's a sweet collection!

Not gonna lie... I had kinda written off esp, they hide behind the bagillion ibanez threads usually, but this has made me reconsider... HNGD and you have one hell of a nice collection aswell

I have been on an anti-ESP binge for the last couple years, but my hat is off to you sir. This is one of the sickest ESPs I have seen for a long time.

awesome guitar, love the kahler on there. I wish they would do more standards with kahlers.

Thanks for kind words dudes - I'm wondering what's with the 'anti-ESP' sentiment though?

That SSS Horizon

My jaw actually dropped...

Taste. Scenes. Brand likes dictated by Current Heroes. Rarity. Finance.

God knows, I've always rated ESP and liked pretty much every single one I've played. I'd certainly like a bash on that 7 - ESP + Kahler!!

Well done, Llexi - we all know the true headstock on one of those is, unquestionably, the cockstock. Needless to say, I have my suspicions regarding the role of said cockstock in the fabrication of the finish.

Bring that thing to the next meeting so I can put it through its paces, will you?

 

[astm]

guitar looks fantastically good!

I'm not too much of an ESP expert, but what makes it an H-III? (I know that the M-I has one pickup and the M-II has two, but this got me somehow confused)

Oh right, with the 'Horizon III' its actually the name of the body style/shape. Its essentially a drastically offset Horizon, but the top carve and upper horn carve remain very similar. I don't know why they never gave it its own designation, since really it's a very different shape to a standard Horizon. Unfortunately the Horizon-III shape isn't currently available as an ESP USA model (you can request it from the custom shop, but they don't even list it on the custom form as an option!). Luckily, it's still live and kicking in Japan - they've even released a more affordable range of Edwards branded Horizon-III's with MIJ production

Hah yeah, thanks dude. I tend to judge an instrument on its practical merits rather than anything else I believe that the ESP Custom Shop make some of the finest guitars in the world. The only other Custom Shops that really interest me are Tom Anderson and James Tyler, but thanks to my affiliation with ESP i've amassed many more guitars than i should ever need! (Thanks ESP! )

Hey dude! I should have known you'd be a regular here The finish is certainly a talking point - looks super badass despite it's questionable origins I'm not sure if i'll be taking this one out and about too much - I get super paranoid about travelling around with instruments like this... hence the bomb proof steel case

 

[astm]

Now I get it! Congrats on the gutiar again

 

[Tjore]

Grrrrrr, I envy you!!!! ;D

 

[MistaSnowman]

If getting great gear like this is the result of hard work...I'm gonna need more lessons!!!

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

Ever since I saw your ESP Forest (Purple) quite a while back I've been in <3 with it ^_^
