Very much liking the EC 1000 Honey Burst Satin.

Recently bought a EC 256 Lemon Drop to get myself acquainted with an EC/LP shape.

Now to convince my wife...

You need to make available the LTD Viper-400B Baritone in Black Satin finish. Beautiful looking and I'm sure it will sound awesome.

Big fan of the flying Vs.

Finally "metal guitar" for black metal series as requested, best Ltd Arrow so far. But i'm still waiting for Ltd V or hardtail version.

Yes hardtail would be great

This Arrow Black Metal prototype looks killer!

Wow! The #8 LTD Arrow Black Metal is beautiful and so simple! The Floyd Rose and single Humbucker (EMG 81?85?) just project an image that is so crunchy!

When do we get to touch this???

am I the only one who thinks black satin sucks? it looks bad to begin with, and once it's worn in even a little bit it looks terrible. source: my M-I NTB

 

satin, primer, and "raw wood" finishes are never something I will get behind. paint should go under real gloss, and natural or stained wood should go under gloss or a good oil finish.

Yeah, black satin pretty much only looks good and lasts longer on custom shop guitars. It was fine on my 2003 Kelly Hayes back in the day.

Hi, just joined here. Any way to get glimpse of what has been revealed earlier?

Jeff K.

AS, the whole preview will be unveiled this Friday, so all will be revealed soon enough.

Very impressed by the full preview.  The USA output is finally approaching the Japan shops of old.  The linear trans/natural fades are an absolute winner, this will be heavily copied in coming years (maybe PRS/Carvin dabbled in it years ago if I recall?). The resurgence of the single pickup M-I, the multiple retakes on the arrow/Jesse, and the viper body all show that ESP is getting back to their roots. Thank you.

Really encouraged by the current direction, and great job to those behind the scenes that pushed for this line up.  Have a great show in January!
