i'm considering getting a ESP Vintage Plus strat, looks like this but has abalone inlays instead of black:

any experience with those? never had a "real" ESP (only LTD) so my expectations are kinda high.... :scared:
 
I cant tell you much but the new George Lynch Classic Strat or whatever they call it is SEX-I-FIED!!! :rock:

I was just talking about that guitar to Danyeo and also saying that the price isn't bad either. $1,600 or so new for a signature MIJ ESP!!! Want to get my hands on one to play before they wise up and hike the price up $500 or $600.
 
^ true dat :yes:

hmmmm :confused: i gotta see if i can try the guitar before getting.

the other news is that the guitar's model is "Vintage Plus" - i guess the "Plus" goes for the pickguard and pu's. :D
 
They're nice guitars if you can deal with tiny frets. That's the only reason that I sold mine...

Are those Lace Alumitones in there? Get it just to try those bad boys out! :rock:
 
well, no, unfortunately those are "normal" SD vintage rails. but i'd like to try those Alumitones too :yes:
 
I have a ESP gl56 which is the lynch version of the vintage strat and it awsome, I got it for 1250 brand new and I'm being honest when I say this, I love it more than the 56 relic fender custom shop strat and the 60 custim shop Fender I had, it feels, sounds and plays awsome. I don't mind paying for the fender customs but I actually like my esp better. My friend has a couple real fenders from the 60's and he likes his gl56 better than them
 
now that sounds serious. thanx for the input zao. i think i'm just gonna bid and see what happens.


if i get it for what i think i will (around $700) then i'm positive i could sell it without loss (just in case i don't like it for whatever reason).
 
Glad to be able to help, I know not every gl56 is gonna be as good as mine and I know there gotta be some even better, the neck is thin unlike the other lynch models, it has a pearly gates in the bridge, and it has the big frets, I hate vintage frets.

I haven't played the vintage ESP strat that your looking at so I can't comment on the neck or frets.
But the vintage lynch I have is well built and I'm sure the one your looking at is also.
 
The ron wood tele is awesome, so I imagine the strats are pretty good too
 
didn't they.... overreact on the relicing a bit?

i mean, it could be a little less no? :aww:


:D
