The ESP Guitar Company

Update: I finally spent some meeger time with my LTD and put the ESPs away for a little while. I installed locking tuners on my LTD, Gotohs, the type where you have to use a penny or a screwdriver to unlock them. I'm just prepping the LTD for it's big ownership change for my buddy up in Michigan. He's been slobbering over the LTD since he's seen it in photos, so I sold it to him. He's gonna be making payments, so I trust him there, plus he needs a good guitar now. And I'm glad to provide, plus I'm making room for Urban Camo #4!!!Yikes!!! Comment

Update: I have a dilemma to put out there. My buddy from Michigan wants my LTD guitar, and is willing to pay for it in payments to the tune of 360 dollars, exactly what I got in it. I trust the dude, so sending it to him now is no problem, the only thing is that will bring my guitar count down from 3 to 2. I've never had less than 3 guitars in my life, just a personal quota that I have. But my buddy really needs a good guitar, and I never play the LTD, it just sits. So selling it wouldn't hurt my feelings any, especially to a good friend. So you see my dilemma, hook a brother up, or hang on to my 3 guitar quota..... Comment

Update: My ESP E2 M2 Urban Camo Guitars are as sheek as ever, man they shred, working with the E Harmonic minor scale this week, trying to come up with some cool licks and tapping runs, still haven't lit up the big guy yet(JVM), been playing mostly at night, had to use the little guy(Code 50). I bought my buddy who is fresh outta prison in Michigan a practice amp, a Line 6 Spider IV 20, so he could have something do while he was sitting around on parole not aloud to do anything, gotta look out for my mellow, love ya Insta!!! He already has a guitar, crappy one but at least it works, I would let him use my LTD, but he lives so far away so I got him a new set of strings for his Behringer, a cable, and a amp to set him up to play a little, I'm proud of him for getting out, he's done a good job! Hey you gotta help out friends who aint got nobody, and when you can give the gift of music, I feel blessed inside. And they turn around and help you when your down, its good karma! Shit like that makes the world a better place. Well, back to shredding on these 'machines'. Rock on ESP!!! Comment

Update: I'm still shredding on my ESP E2 M2 Urban Camo Guitars, they are definitely "Metal Machines". The little M II logo blurp on the #3 guitar doesn't bother me much, I think it makes it unique, and when I order another one in March, I'll make sure to check it for the same thing. I haven't hooked up into the Full Stack lately, I've been playing a lot at night so I have to use the mini Marshall to keep the noise down, can't crank up the JVM cause there's really no low setting on that thing with 8 12" speakers and all. When I turn the Master knob on that thing it kinda grabs at a 1/4 and goes up exponentially from there. I try adjusting the channel volume but I loose gain and that sucks. I guess I could break it down to a half stack, but that would change my speaker load and I like it at 8 ohms as a full stack(2X16 gives you 8). I'll just wait til daytime tomorrow and fire it off, let everyone know I'm gonna turn it on. Fair warning!!! Rock on ESP!!!! Comment

Update: I Just found a boo boo with my 2018 ESP E2 M2 Urban Camo Guitar, well maybe not a boo boo, but a discrepancy while I was taking photos of the guitars tonight. The M II sticker next to the big E II on the headstock is gold instead of being black like the 2016 model and the pics of the guitar on the website and in the catalog. I mean I'm not throwing a complete hissy over it, I'm just surprised I didn't catch it earlier during initial inspection, I guess I wasn't comparing it to another guitar, I was looking for defects, and there's nothing defective about it, it's perfectly fine, just the wrong color(gold). It should be black. So they put the wrong color M II sticker on my 2018 model or did they intend to do that?? I don't have a 2018 catalog, but I do have a 2018 website to compare it too and that one's black??IDK What's up ESP? Comment
