ESP Owners Club-Show Us Your ESPs!

[Tree]

Threw some bigger strings on my Original Series on my lunch break today and tuned it down to C#. Satisfying chugs were had.

Such a clean, no nonsense, metal guitar. It’s perfect.

I typically love all things flashy and gaudy, but ESP really knows how to make killer, black super strats.

Speaking of chugging, though it's in Standard


Put an old Duncan Distortion in the Navigator


I generally suck at playing, so that is the main problem, but I'm still trying to get used to quick bending on the smaller frets. The slick Elixir strings probably don't help.

Clip is just a 6505+ and a Crate 4x12 with V30s (my B rig). Cell phone since my mic is somewhere in storage.

LP with better heel? ESP has your back

Some guy on FB owns this and it is legit, full cert etc. I think it is phenomenal

Never seen one badges with ESP on the front and navigator on the back.

Beautiful Technical House build.

Me too. Very cool IMO

Beautiful Technical House build.

Absolutely! Love the truss rod wheel as well. Overall just a really nice build

 

[Samark]

New one arrived today. Plays just like a strat (9" radius etc), but with 24 frets


And found this really tasty ESP USA from late 90s/early 2000s online. Wish I could buy it

Damn, I'd take that quilt one even with the wrong headstock and the dumb inlay.

 

[Captain Shoggoth]

Arrived this morning, my first ESP of any kind. Cheers to @narad for the advice buying used from Japan. Time for some gold mods I think

Gloss black Arrow, very cool. Been thinking about buying that exact guitar for quite some time, but at 2500€ new I feel maybe not worth it.

God, I'm so fucking jealous. Congrats! Every time I have cash none of these are available. This is pretty much my ideal 7 string V.

It's a very nice guitar. I can see what people mean about it being the best iteration of the offset V; definitely feels ergonomically enhanced vs the Rhoads. I do wish ESP would use Gotoh trems instead of the OFR though.

FWIW I bought used directly from Ishibashi in Tokyo, who were also selling thru Reverb, as well as this instrument having a dozen proxy listings on eBay (1 or 2 of which are still up ). Used isnt much cheaper than new after shipping and import tax though.

It's a shame there's barely any competition for premium V7s. Jackson has that Korean camo RR7 now, but the camo finish is pretty unappealing - even compared to LTDs like the Snakebyte in the post above, let alone to classic black.

God, I'm so fucking jealous. Congrats! Every time I have cash none of these are available. This is pretty much my ideal 7 string V.

Cheers! Digimart's worth a look for used Japanese stock when you next have cash.

Ahh yes, the better Les Paul Axcess.

 

[Samark]

Was never a fan of purple guitars. Now, time to pull out the wallet.
Damn you, ESP.

 

[technomancer]

^ damn those are both awesome!

Josh Middleton just posted these customs, a one-off presumably inspired by Chuck Schuldiner and an F. I've always been a sucker for Diamond inlays (Chuck and Kerry King style.

 

[Naxxpipe]

Diamond shape inlays are great. Kinda cool RandomStar add UpperHorn
