ESP USA Factory Line Expectations
ESP USA Factory Line Expectations
Hello fellow ESP Forum Members!
Many of you know the news about ESP opening a USA Factory, thus expanding the brand in 2014.
Any particular model you want in the line or are you envisioning brand new products along the way?
What are your expectations for the new ESP USA Brand?
Thanks Ross and Jacob for sharing your expectations at the forum!
Glad to know there's people that want to preserve and enhance the ESP line.
Personally I'm a fan of the ESP Eclipse body shape but have also been looking forward to Z, V, and Star shaped bodies like the Gus G. Signature guitar.
I would love to have more model, different colors, and pickups options available for them.
This year great pickups like the EMG 57/66 (stock in the Black LTD Elite Eclipse), Seymour Duncan Black Winter, Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker, EMG James Hetfield Signature pickups, and others were released to the market. I'm sure ESP could add new pickups to the line and get even deeper into their target market. Who knows? Maybe they could get new ESP players!
The only thing I'm really sure is that 2014 is going to be a great year for guitar players, expect great guitars coming your way soon!
I only hope the US quality is on par with their Japanese counterparts... The array of guitars I just saw at the ESP Craft House was de facto 'Guitar Heaven'. The custom MII's were impressive... Masao Ohmuro's customs are simply unreal. Hopefully all of their premier work stays in house in Japan, but the US production is interesting considering how bad ESP Japan makes the rest of the US luthiers look.
ESP Horizon NT-II with an Alder body and solid color finishes like sonic blue, see thru green and stuff like that. perhaps one model with emg's.
ESP M's with ebony boards, neck thru, nice finishes.
