Was watching the "official" video of that a couple of days ago, too.

When I pick a string, I feel it vibrating with the fretting hand and it kind of helps me map the guitar with either hand and make them work together and coordinated. I wonder how would this sound generator feel since the fretting hand and picking hand won't be using the same set of strings...

That looks so much like the helmet of either Doomguy or Master Chief

You mean to say this thing is new?? Looks like something straight from the 80s ..

It was mid-80s - I remember these being advertised at the time. Horrifically expensive - near enough £10,000 if i remember... Extremely cool though!

So I stupidly agreed to a financial suicide pact with my Uni mate last year and both of us are going to buy expensive guitars (around 2k-3k) upon graduation. I realized the other day how quickly thats come around so decided to hold off buying ANYTHING guitar related until then.
I've never paid ESP much attention nor do I have a clue on the differences between their ranges. This popped up on my radar however and I really want to try it out, specs fit the bill for what I'm after. Anyone own this guitar or have experience with the E-II range?

Just a few things to note on those:
- the Horizon carve on the body is not for everyone
- ESP's thin-U profile is not necessarily comfortable for people used to the typical medium Cs or things like the typical Ibanez profiles
- the neck is finished, so you won't have the super sleek feel of an oiled neck
- the frets are nickel silver, which you may like, but many people would prefer stainless steel at that pricepoint

Tom Winspear's Carillion is giving me some serious feelings. I wouldn't know what to do with the micrtonal fretboard, and I'm not a fan of TOM's (Tune O Matic not Mr. Winspear (of which I am a big fan)), but everything else on it just does it for me.

Holdsworth fan here. Not as boujie but I got the YouRock guitar for exactly this kinda stuff. A lot of guys say just go synth pickup etc but not having actual frets and strings changes the way you play it entirely, it's basically a legato machine with a whammy bar. I wish there were a 'fancier' option but functionally, it's pretty rad.
I used it for the sax stuff in the second half of this 'lead a week' entry.

Started playing my Haggy Ultra Max again. Hagstrom GAS shooting through the room for another Ultra Max. Or I should finally get a Fantomen.

Just bought one of these. When I showed my wife she said "the 80's want their guitar back."
So is it huge or very huge?

I'll try to get a banana for scale when it arrives tomorrow.
