The ESP Guitar Company

Eh.  I feel like the price-points stayed generally the same, they just separated the Standard series from the Original & renamed them.  So what used to be the more affordable standard series no longer says ESP on the headstock, but the quality will be the same.

If you just want a guitar that says ESP on it, get a used one.  If you wanted an ESP standard because of the quality of instrument/features/whatever you get for the price, buy the E-2 or whatever line it is that fits that niche now.

Phaggot.

I just want to be your everything.

"Now you have to give a ball to get one" 

hence why op cannot afford one...

Ghey.

give a ball, what you mean by that

Used ESPs are just as good and great for the price.  That said, the E-IIs are just Standards..  Notice the II part as most all standards were in that fashion, Eclipse-II, M-II, etc.  

In a sense, you'll get the same playing quality guitar, but it's got a different logo, who fucken cares.  In 5 years people will look at the E-II's like they did the Standards..
