Can't wait to annoy my neighbors with this and my Herbert!

Well, it's been one year and two weeks exactly since I ordered my second ESP Custom guitar, and finally today it arrived at the best ESP dealer in the world!
It'll be another week +/- two days before I actually get it, but I can take the additional wait...now that I have the first finished pics...
I know this is the Diezel forum, but bear with me...the last pic will make it clear why I post this in here...it shows my appreciation of the awesome amps we play.

Gorgeous
Non lacquered neck - exactly as I have all my guitars (except the Gibby LP, simply cause they don't have it and I feel bad about stripping it my self)...

Last pic is total Diezel ultras show off

Ain't it?

 

[petereanima]

congrats! i usually don't like ESP guitars, but that one is a sexy looking beast!

 

[scottph]

How can you not love ESP?

 

[petereanima]

hehe, i knew that this would come.

its nothing special, just that the LTDs i played never felt as good as other brands in that budget range, and the "real" ESPs were really cool guitars, but just ridiculously overpriced imho.

and on the other hand - we play shitloads of gigs, and i'm meanwhile sooooo fed up from everyones and his neighbours "ESP Eclipse / Ltd EC1000 -> 5150/6505" tone, that its really hard for me to have a deeper look into these guitars (and in Peaveys haha).


EDIT: dont take the last one too serious.

 

[scottph]

I'm not man. To each his own....

I personally thought that higher-end LTD's are really nice, but nothing compared to ESPs, let alone full-on Custom Shop. That's a different league alltogether.

Best low-budget high-gain amp ever: 5150.

[scottph]

Danke!

That is one seriously amazing looking guitar!
I cannot think of any company that can produce a guitar that is any more finely QC'd then ESP Custom Shop guitars.
Enjoy it!

 

[scottph]

Thanks man! And yeah, ESP Custom shop is really topnotch!

it is! no doubt - i'm just fed up by its tone at the moment. when i won't hear it for a longer time, i'm pretty sure i will like it again.

I used to have a 6505 and loved it, but there wasn't a tone in it that I couldn't get close enough to with my Herbert so it had to go.

heißer Scheiß...leider extrem lange Wartezeit. Warum kann ich über die Gitarre bzw. über das Modell im Internet nichts finden?

 

[Random Hero]

Nice! That fingerboard looks smooth as silk.

Weil es sie nicht gibt...ist eine Custom für mich. Einzelanfertigung.

@RH: Yeah, love the fretboard too!
