New Kirk Hammett LTD Purple Sparkle Ouija
New Kirk Hammett LTD Purple Sparkle Ouija
Just saw this over in reddit. Seems like someone over at Guitar Centre got ahead of themselves.
Finally something from LTD line appears visually more alike with the ESP versions (I.e. Unpainted neck, no model number on 24th fret)
$1400 for an Ltd, and dont even get the painted pickups. That's crazy. I kind of understood it with the quilted because of the way the pickup covers were made from wood on the ESP and the extra time and expense that went into making those. But to not paint the pickups on the LTD for that kind of money is ridiculous. The alphabet across the pickups is part of the iconicness of the Ouija.
It seems that nobody care about the merchandising of those guitar. Those are probably the most beautiful ones ever built. Why not increase the print run and cut the price in half. Would they be less iconic like the black and white ones? Respect for James that seems to avoid this kind of business model of sky rocket price and LTD models that look completely different.
I'm being told $17,999 CAD plus tax. Sadly with the exchange rate, cost of shipping and import charges it's going to be crazy no matter what country it comes from. I'm currently still on the ESP / LTD fence but I do have the opportunity to get the ESP. I personally find it hard to go with any LTD model after you have owned a real ESP Custom Shop. Congratulations to everyone who has one on the way...
Around 2000$ CND for the LTD versions
no paint and no graphics on the pickups
With a cheaper color paint finish...
And 12 000$ USD for the real ouija i can’t belive ...its pure manipulation for our love of metallica
many esp custom shop guitar are dying on ebay, reverb, gumtree and others place for less than 4000$ usd and nobody want them because its too expensive
Right now esp and metallica make me feel if i don’t have 12 000$ usd + taxes to spend for a guitar im only deserve a cheap copy of the origial
ltd and e-ii are great guitar but not really valuable over the years...
I just placed my order with Guitar Center for the LTD Purple Sparkle.
