Finally started saving for an ESP, but which?

Okay so i've finally sold one of my guitars, saving time! I've been gassing for a horizon nt-ii stba, but some pictures make it look amazing, yet some in the horizon thread look like a really dark and dull blue which puts me right off it! I've been looking at the Eclipse II USA ACSB which most pictures of it seem to be pretty nice - i know i shouldn't just rely on images but it's all i have to use haha! and i've also heard some pretty nice things about the vipers.. Gassing for a horizon at the moment i feel i should save for it (it's also pretty much the cheapest too) Any help and/or images would be most apprieciated :)

^^ and now every time I play my SV I remember the days when I wanted to get myself an Alexi-600... LOL

oops I'm spamming :)

I'm not going for anything used, I only go for brand new guitars :)

Nagash

That's the spirit dude ! Guitars only get thrashed by your own hands

morphius1

damn right!

Plus, factory shininess can't be beaten by the old polish and cloth!

Nagash

yeah lol

My latest ESP was used. Still shiny despite being 6+ years old. :D ESP Custom Shop's ebony = amazing. :D

An SV is a must.... Someday...

SV isn't very shape-reliable for me though :)
I have an explorer and it just knocks into things on small stages!
Then again, the sv's are REALLY nice :)
I just hate FRs too

Nagash

there are SVs with a string-through body bridge too. And for the shape, you get used to it, don't worry. My SV has a few scratches because I had trouble handling the long horn but after a while it works fine.

If you want easy shapes, better go M, Horizon or Eclipse. They are just not really original, but still nice (yeah there's this "ESP" lettering on the headstock...)

If you want something different but still "normal" I say go for a Horizon 3 or Forest GT

Not that this is relavent to this thread in particular, but..

Going back to a post i made on this thread regarding the Guitar Village in Farnham.

There was a reply post regarding their recent dip in customer service.

I took my little nephew to buy a Les Paul copy, he had about £300 ish and i advised on either a LTD or a decent Epi. (i would have pushed him towards the LTD)

Anyhow, the 1st sale assistant who attempted to advise us was shocking, he couldn't give a monkey's toss. He was so bad that i actually asked for another sales person. However the next person was great, very helpfull, very patient (considering my nephew is only 12). Because of this assistant we ended up spending double the money on a high end LTD custom. (i should have taken pics)

I must admit i was little jealous that my young nephew was bought such a cool guitar.

The moral of the story is...

A shop is only as good as the people who work in it.

GV take note and get rid of that other pillock.
