Other than the spec differences, I wonder if the build/quality differences are that much better to justify the pricing

I honestly doubt it man...at the 7k mark it's more.like that's the thing you think you need. Qc issues aside, i bet a good luthier could get the ltd playing smoking hot with some fret love and a set.up. i've gone through it my head a hundred times trying to justify the ESP but fuck me that's a lot for what is sort of a novelty guitar (for me anyway)....dont get me wrong, i'd rock the shit out of it in Madison Square Spare Room, but probably have 99% the fun with the ltd as well

Im in exact same position (Civic Center Basement) and it would be a novelty type thing for me too!
 
Probably somewhere in between.......for example, possibly hand selected wood, better paint work.......also paying for the ESP logo.

I hate to be Captain Obvious here, but the 7k is Custom Shop. Pretty simple conclusion. There's your difference.

I guess not having experience with ESP I am curious about the custom
Shop vs LTD

Like is Custom Shop similar to Fender Teambuilt (big price difference, if so)

Is it more like a Fender Masterbuilt (in which case I could understand some of the large premium)
 
Day 5 with the Desert Eagle.
Aside from the Duncan ‘78 being a bit bright, there’s nothing about the guitar I don’t like.
