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!

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

Such pain, I must help...deepen it

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.

If I had superpowers, my instruments would be train wrecks and boulders smashing. It would be heavier than the heaviest of metal.
