Finally started saving for an ESP, but which?
Finally started saving for an ESP, but which?
Hey Buddy, i had same thing 2 years ago.
I bought an ESP Snow White Eclipse II, best money i have ever spent. It plays like a dream, sounds hard core and looks cool as ice.
I also live in the UK, check out Guitar Village in Farnham, Surrey, they have a shed load of ESP's and LTD's to try. Nice guys too.
Good luck and have fun.

Yeah i often browse the guitarvillage website but their prices are a little higher than what i can find elsewhere.. but it'd be worth it to go try some out there :)
I used to always use guitarvillage but the last 2 purchase's I've made from them have been very poor... They were not very helpful... For great customer service I say go with either Rich Tone Music or World Guitars, not only are they very helpful but drop the prices quite a bit.... :)
you know what they say, a week in politics is a lifetime in..blah, blah. blah
I spent a lot of time in both" guitar village" and "andertons" in guildford during the autumn of 2008. Both shops were very easy going about trying the gear out and all the staff were very helpfull. I used the reference of Guitar Village as they had more ESPs, especially Horizons which is what Morphius seems to be after.
However i did not buy my Eclipse from GV as they did not have the colour i wanted in stock. I ended up purchasing it from a shop in Gillingham, Kent called Sharon Music. The owner of the shop had a good relationship with the ESP dealer "selectron" who happened to be down the road in Sittingbourne. Needless to say i was extremely happy with my new toy.
With that said, i did purchase a Vox praccy amp from GV on line and i never had any trouble with customer service.
Whether the level of service is the same as it was back in 2008, i have no idea, if not then its a shame, in my experience bad customer service is usually down to an arsehole individual who works in the shop or just someone who is having a bad day,(didn't get any sex last night etc)
keep up the search Morphius...........
I'd say, choosing between the Eclipse and the Horizon, it depends on the features you need (Floyd Rose/24 frets/neck-through > Horizons, fixed bridge/Lot of knobs > Eclipse)
Right now I'm in advice-the-Eclipse mood but I'd say, if you really can't decide between these two, go for an SV Standard. LOL
that eclipse looks hawt!
