looks nice but a little too quilty for my tastes

 

[Grave Bomber]

I'm sure it's a excellent instrument as a real ESP, but the only color those look right to me in is their vintage black.

 

[Mark Wein]

meh

 

[Modern Saint]

Mixed feelings on this one.

Sadly my corksniffing ways dominate this situation!

Needs different pickups. You put Burstbuckers in that and it screams "Les Paul Envy".

 

[LittleSnakes]

meh.

Oh HELL yes...

It's a nice guitar, but putting the Burstbuckers in makes it too much of an LP clone. If you want something that Gibsony, then get a Gibson.

Beauty! I would rather have a separate tone knob for each pickup, though. For me, the point of getting a guitar like this is to get the Gibby LP sound, without the Gibby LP price.

too quilty, but still would!

Why? People can't improve on a design or concept? Especially at this used price point, that thing is an LP killer.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Nice guitar. But not for me.

 

[nuke_diver]

s'alright

 

[Chad]

a little to quilty and I don't really like that burst. New finish, less flame and I would rock it.

ESP's are really the one brand of guitar I have never been able to bond with (that I have tried out anyway....).

That being said, I really do like the quilt on this one. But those wavy inlays.........not really feeling those.

Nice.
But quilts belong on beds.
