I feel you on the finish, I actually had black ones and white ones and swapped the pickguard on them and it looked a lot better. And Yeah, I’ve got one of the vintage white LTD’s as well. The current LTD’s and the old Standard Series are also a little different sound-wise, as the standards...

Yeah, I used to have a few of the standard series phoenixes, this one is a custom they made for me (was an esp artist at the time) when they weren’t producing phoenixes in 2017, although I didn’t actually get it until early 2019 and they ended up bringing back those LTD’s you’re speaking of...

Filling in on a tour with my old band here soon and been running through the set on both of these every day relearning and learning a bit that I wasn’t on. Gotta get the muscle memory going again, it’s been a while haha.

While it’s a good take, I kinda disagree. The age of the “rock star” is prettt much over, and the guys who buy signature guitars because they are HUGE fans of certain guitarists are still guys at the tail end of all that. Tool, Metallica, etc etc. And those guys buy everything, too. So it’s an...

You’ve got me curious about trying this on my 100w 5150-III, is there a how to somewhere?

Watched Slayer side stage one time in Europe somewhere (2016 maybe? When did they quit? I don’t remember) on a fest my previous band also played and I got yelled at for sitting my beer on Kerry King’s head case. Was awesome. Set was pretty cool too.

They’ve always been more pricey than others and I’m not sure what they sell for these days but I’ve definitely seen some dumb prices on reverb, like 3k and up but no idea if they sold for that.

They’re around from time to time but I don’t believe there are too many of the gloss black variety. You’ll mostly see the vintage black/white and sometimes the purple. I know this one and the other one @Pushead still owns were part of a special dealer run of like than 10-15 in gloss black. And...

Bought this gloss black full thickness from the poster, @Pushead , in this thread with the video and massive collection maybe ten years ago? And have the two LPC’s also pictured. They’re essentially the same guitars, and if you want the emg sound just swap the pups on your standard and you’re...

Indeed, the one in the photo was just off a quick google search and it belonged to one of the guys in Architects, I guess. One of the other guys in the band I was in had two of them, one was the firebird looking model they had in Silverburst and then one of these DC’s modeled/reliced after...

Isn’t this that same guitar that’s been a running joke on forums for like 15 years? I figure at this point it’s changing hands purely for the memes.

It’s similar, but I’d wager it’s more than likely just a copy of one of his First Act Lola DC Customs, tons of metal guys were playing the First Act custom stuff in the late ‘00’s and early ‘10s because they were basically giving them out to whoever (and they’re fucking awesome too), I regret...

As someone else mentioned, they definitely have exactly that but they’re older. I had a white one back in the day but sold it once I got my full thickness four knob Eclipse I in gloss black. Can probably easily be had used as there were a lot around when they came out in 2013-14ish. Came with...

Not to derail the thread too much but currently - ESP Phoenix Custom (only guitar I had with me when the fire happened), ESP Eclipse I CTM FT (survived the fire unscathed but got looted from the house as no one was in the state when it happened. Rare guitar, so a friend bought it on eBay and...

That looks killer.
