Why do you estimate such high price ?

It's roughly in line with other ESP prices, and I can't imagine they'll be making too many of the SRCs.

Same reason that the 2228 is so much more expensive than the 1527, really.

EDIT: But I do really wish the 2228 was a few hundred cheaper, especially for a basswood/non-endorser guitar.

Because his signature model 7 costs $2399? It's an "ESP" not an LTD. ESP signature models generally run between $1999-2999 USD. The only exception being the Max Cavalera model because it's so bare bones ($1699 I think).

The ESP Signature Series guitars are really, really expensive. The baritone 7 is about $2500 if I remember right. But, it is almost a given that there will be a LTD version of that guitar, for probably more like $950. I gotta say - I am pretty jacked for these!

SC-607B costs 1700 in europe, Didn't know it was so expensive in the states. Sorry

also it'll cost more because of the hardware, I mean, 8-string bridges aren't just easy-to-buy off the shelf parts

No. Dude, the SC607B is an LTD, it costs $900 here. I'm talking about the ESP Stephen Carpenter models, be it the B7 (baritone) or the Stef 7 (25.5). Those cost around $2400 USD.

We're talking about ESP not LTD.

Anyway, as long as the frets are fairly close to Ibanez's size or larger, I'm definetly going to purchase one

sorry again. It's listed as an esp/ltd on thomann, I just assumed it was an esp for that price.
Then LTD are expensive as hell in europe.

Excellent!! I shouldn't get ahead of myself being a lefty, but ESP/LTD do make a lot of models lefty. Glad to see more variety than those ugly RG2228's as well. Hopefully Schecter gets on the ball too, their guitars are just siiiick.
