Should i buy this guitar?

[Mongolianbbq]

Hello!

About 2 years ago i bought an ESP EC-1000 and have loved it ever since..

But the time has come for a change, and i have been seriously drooling over this guitar since i saw it in a post here on sevenstring..

The ESP Guitar Company | 2012 USA Website

Since i have no chance of trying it out, i thought i would ask you guys..

Any horizon owners who can convince me into buying this beauty?

 

[Nonservium]

Get the blue one.

 

[JP Universe]

I'd buy it ... but i'm broke

 

[cwhitey2]

Dat purple

 

[BoredomKills]

Yes. Very yes.

 

[PettyThief]

I LOVE purple guitars! I don't like those kind of bridges, but if you like em, go for it!

If you're seeking a quality/sound upgrade then these aren't really much better than an EC-1000 from my experience. My EC-1000 blows alot of the ESPs I've played out of the water, a couple of which were from this series. However, they're definitely beautiful guitars. I've drooled over brown finished one for years.

Haha. Yeah, I still have GAS for the brown one after like 3 years

I had a brown one for about a year, played incredibly, sounded huge, great craftsmanship and everything on it. I'd say get one, or why not just get an eclipse-II if you like the ec-1000 so much, I had one of them for awhile too and I liked it better than my horizon.

It's weird cause I usually don't even like that sort of thing It just works so well on this model.

 

[Rayaus]

I have an ESP Horizon FR-II and it's absolutely fantastic! I'd say go for it.

 

[Chalupacabra]

These are some of my favorites. I'd say if the price is right, buy it.

 

[bob123]

I'd buy it ... but i'm broke

thats your own damn fault, mr kxk.

 

[gunch]

Totally my strongest gas target so I'd say go for it.

Im gonna go for the DBSB.. can't get my damn eyes of it

I found it on Thomann, but on the ESP site, the guitar has JB and a ‘59 pickup

And on Thomann it has SH-4 and a SH1N pickup...

Hmmmm.....

I think that's the same as JB and '59...
It could mean "Seymour-Humbucker-Model4" like how they call the JB a TB-4 in some cases.

 

[Kwampis]

Yep, that's the JB and the 59. All of the Seymour Duncan pickups have a name and a model number. The difference between the SH-4 and the TB-4 is that the TB-4 is what they call the "trembucker" version of the JB. It has a wider string spacing to accommodate Floyd Rose-style and similar bridges.

 

[Mongolianbbq]

Ahh okay, thanks guys

I will probably order it within the next week..

Hopefully i wont lose my social life completely

 

[Omar Devone Little]

While that's definitely a fine guitar, if there's a similar guitar that you have and you're happy with it...if it ain't broke don't fix it? Why not just keep what you have and save for something else? Just curious...

 

[Levi79]

Awesome dude! Stoked to see that NGD. You're probably going to want to buy some pickups to replace those along with the guitar though... IMO that is.
