Keep in mind that this is only a preview of NEW guitars and basses for 2014. We'll be doing an update to the whole site around the time of the NAMM Show so that all models, new and current, are represented.
We do this every year, exhibit. Some years we lean harder in certain areas. This year, with the introduction of the FRX, Mystique, RB Series, AP Series, Stream, and so on, we chose not to also add to the V Series and several other product areas. We tend to only offer as many guitars and basses as we feel we can properly support. Thanks for your input, though.
Hi Jeff!
Looks like I've been confused all along. I emailed ESP's customer service a few days ago and I was told that the ESP Standard line was NOT going to be re-branded into the E-II line, meaning, I was still going to be able to get an ESP Standard Horizon FR-7 or NT-7 (with the ESP logo on the headstock, not the E-II). Now I've been reading and apparently the LTD Elite and the ESP Standard are "merging" into E-II? I just saw the "E-II" Horizon FR-7... Question is, will the current ESP Standards, still be available? I mean, seriosuly, a logo change for just 1 year? My ESP Horizon has a slanted block logo similar to the LTD Elite logo, and makes me wonder if I bought a "transitional" model with a temporary logo, and now in the future, I will have to buy a guitar branded E-II instead of ESP. Please let me know if that's the case, I'll try to get my hands on another FR-7 before I have to buy one with a new sub-brand on the headstock...
Hi Leo. We'll clarify this further very soon, but our current product lines as of January 2014 are as follows:
- ESP Custom Shop
- ESP Original
- ESP USA
- ESP E-II
- LTD
This allows us to have a much more consistent line of products to offer most of the world, and it's much less fragmented than before. Keep in mind that E-II models are exactly what "ESP Standard" used to be, manufactured by our luthiers in our own factory in Japan. Hopefully all of your questions will be answered by some information we'll post this week. Thanks!
Really like all the options here, got some really nice finish options, happy to see some old logos, and classic headstocks, and a lot of nice transparent finishes. Looks like Esp put a lot of effort into the product lines this year. It would have just be easier to offer the mII in a few color choices. snow white with black hardware, or bright red with black hardware would be nice. Anyway really like the FRX and Mystiques, its good to see some new body shapes available here, Stongly considering buying that horizon ctm nt antique brown sunburst or the see thur black miii usa, or one of the usa eclipses, or a mysitque or an FRX. It very nice to be seeing a catalog full of guitars that I can dream about owning. I rember feeling this way about the guitars in the late 90's and early 2000's, I now own quite a few of those, hopefully one day I will own several of these.
Those are pretty damn sweet! And I'm happy to see the old logos back.
