What would your custom ESP look like?
If you ordered a custom ESP guitar, what would it look like?
Personally, I would order an M (or KH) shaped body, in Snow White, and a Neck-thru-body. It would have a Floyd Rose tremolo (even though I'm not the biggest fan of those), and right behnd the floyd rose there would be a black Maltese Cross. Each inlay (mirror inlays) would be maltese crosses, also, it would include an Ebony fingerboard (24 frets) and maple neck . Also, it would have your standard ESP headstock (like Kirk hammett's but right side up, rather than upside down). It would also include an EMG 81/60 pickup set.
Semi-OT but it would be awesome of ESP or the dev people here to develop a mockup designer for ESP guitars. Like some other custom shops have available...
Wouldn't be all that hard to accomplish either. It wouldn't have to include ALL the possible features like custom shapes and finishes, just most of them and rest woud be spec'd in more detail in the custom order sheet.
If other WAY smaller companies can provide this kind of service why couldn't ESP?
I want a seven string version of my standard custom MII

Like the one I have :)
Full-Thickness Eclipse. Mahogany body and neck, plain maple top. Cream multiply Binding on front and back of body, headstock, single cream on neck, two-tone burst (but a little more red, as requested although it's not quite as red in real life which rules, very subtle) on front, back, and neck. Seymour Duncan Custom Custom (bridge) and '59 (neck). Sperzel locking tuners. Ebony fretboard. MOP inlays and ESP logo, "Amor Fati" on headstock. Yeah.. fairly standard for the most part. If it aint broke.. The grain of the mahogany on the back of this guitar is probably my favorite thing cosmetically, but that'd be picture overload so scope my profile for shots of that..
Forest gt or antelope 7 string swamp ash body rosewood neck w/ ebony board and neck fillets, bolt on or set in neck maybe a spalted figured top all natural oil finish but with the no matching cap on headstock. BKP battleworn pickups Cbomb+VHII or sinner in the neck. a floyd tremel-no'd w/o locking nut with faat brass block just for fine tuners and recording and slight use of trem.
then personally I would like to know if the work of the esp custom shop and complete it and what are its restrictions and what is the price of a guitar custom shop?? then ... I wonder if the guitar is esp with the shape of other companies as the model bc rich warlock, and it would create a guitar with a completely new body!!
This guitar, but probably with a Sugizo-style headstock.
