    I know that ESP is ok with the customer choosing either SD's or EMG pickups. They can also do hardware and paint changes. However anyone know if they will out an ebony fingerboard on none ebony fingerboard guitars? Am willing to pay that bit extra if they can do. Hopefully I wont need to go down the totally custom route. Thanks

          I'm confused... ESP switches pickups etc?? How do you get things factory direct or whatever? Do you have to go through a dealer? How easy was it to get left handed models?

          This thread blew my mind.

              From my experience of buying Standard series models they are flexible on some things, you can
              change the pickups
              change the colour also satin finish to gloss finish (upcharge)
              change machineheads (gotohs to sperzels)
              change hardware

              You can't
              Change position of controls, for example on an M1 move the volume control to a tone control position or anything silly like flame tops on guitars that dont have them etc.

                  I suppose you could consider it being similar to a semi custom thing, pickups and hardware colour and finish are the main thing, allthough do remember a guy ordering a left handed SV with an extra control might have been a tone knob...

                  You'd do it through any half competant dealer, Just order the guitar with choice of pickups hardware colour, I dont think they could do non rohs compliant black but chrome cosmo and gold should be available...
