I would have NEVER caught that. Holy shit you guys are nerds. This is why I come here.

The knob layout and the extra switches definitely are what gave it away for me. I'm actually curious to see what that 3rd extra switch is for. Maybe a kinda voicing switch if this is meant to emulate the old 5150/II?

In the ESP thread we talked about BBQs... thats a cool thing.

In the Schecter thread we talked about couches... those are cool things too.

Here you started talking about how bad Paul Stanley is ageing... THAT'S NOT COOL! :lol:

Can we just talk about that 5150 please? :lol:

Ahhh! They doing a reissue/re do of the OG? I hope they use the original 5150 font. It's iconic.

I'm actually unsure why they went with the "But we have a 5150 at home" font vs the original. Eddie/EVH should have the legal rights to it.

Also this was rumored for a bit now, so it's good to see it's actually true.

It also looks like it's a 27 inch headshell. Most likely James Brown is using his old 5150 shell to mount a prototype.

Anyway, im VERY interested.
