The ESP Guitar Company

There are differences. If you look at the NT-II, the sculpt on the upper horn is different than a custom. The bevel on the custom fades in gradually to where the body meets the fretboard rather than ending a little futher out and curving up. It also extends a little lower and further into the pickup area. The carve on the old models is a little sharper and more pronounced.

The shape of the upper horn has also varied, where it was like a Jackson Soloist, then it was changed to be a little more rounded on the inside and angled a little more inward. Now it's back to the Jackson style look. There are two different sculpts on the lower horn. One is the type seen on the NT-II, and in some cases, such as on some customs and some bolt on horizons, it has a more pronounced ridge.

Then there's the sculpt type that's seen on some M-IIs, where it's very deep, but the ridge isn't centered on the horn, but rather follows the inside edge.

Distortion / Jazz

In this guitar, I like the Distortion, not so much the Jazz.

You'll have to make do with the ones in yer head, Pusenstein. Are they loose again?

The Kiko sig = awesome. I just don't dig the Standard style cut-in carve on the bass side/upper horn.

It looks like the custom shop version on the bottom has the horn carve that you like (I do too).
