I actually like the guitar...Do not like the finish. I doubt that that finish will be on the actual sig series model, not practical.

His tune-a-matic Charvel was stupid as fuck so at least he's consistent

That was the axe he played at the 2024 Olympics

Epic performance. I don't care if there were backing tracks tbh.

I know a guy who would rock that guitar if it had a lot more strings but it is not something that would work for me.

I do respect Gojira though and good for him. I could definitely be wrong here but when it comes to ESP I only see insanely expensive Custom shops or LTD.

Do they ever make any E-ii quality sigs? If not it seems like they're missing out on a big window.

Those olympic ceremonies were shit until Air played, and also that one French band that had that hit song in 2012.

I definitely didn't like his natural finish Charvel with the huge block inlays!

It’s in the outro riff of “Art of dying”
