When are these likely to be shipped out to the UK again? I placed and order with GAK back in Feb and they quoted a delivery of March from supplier information. It got to the end of March and still no sign of a shipment. Then I got told they weren't expecting a shipment until mid April. I've just been on the phone to them today and now they're saying they won't receive any until September. If someone has paid a deposit and the purchase order has gone through why are the shipping dates not adhered to considering these guitars aren't cheap? I was looking forward to owning my first ESP, but I have been put off by the constant push backs to my order, which is beyond GAKs control.
Hi Anthony, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have notified the distributor of your issue and asked them to assist your dealer in order to get your guitar delivered sooner.
Good day. Tell me, what is the thickness and width of the neck of this guitar, as well as its weight. In the stores of my city, the ESP lineup is not at all, so it’s not possible for me to hold it in my hands.
Hi Alex, the neck width is 42mm at nut, and 57mm at end of fingerboard. The thickness is 20mm at 1st fret and 22mm at 12th fret. This is our standard Thin U neck shape. For the weight it varies depending on the wood, but should be close to around 8 lbs.
My wife bought me this guitar last Christmas and it kicks ass I had the pickups switched out to a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker in the bridge position and a 59’bridge pickup in the neck.Awesome guitar,hands down the best I have ever owned.I do not mind that the ESP logo being on the 12th fret and the E-ll on the headstock.Doesn’t change the way it plays.Killer Axe! Impeccable craftsmanship.
Hi Art, Thank you for your excellent review. We are so glad to hear how much you like your guitar. Thanks for choosing ESP!
I just ordered this guitar and can't wait to get it but can you explain the reasoning behind the pickup choice. This guitar looks metal through and through but the Custom 5 certainly does seem like the first choice for metal.
The Custom 5 works great for metal, it's like a higher-output version of the JB, and the high mids are much more aggressive, so it's a great choice for metal.
HI Lynel, Thanks for adding that. Yes this pickup works great for metal and also is a little more versatile and can be used for things other than metal.
Hi Pitdog360, Many of our guitars can be used for many genres or styles of music. In this case the Custom-5 is a higher output pickup compared to many classic Duncans. It may not be considered a "Metal" pickup, but it is certainly capable of generating metal tones. There are a lot of metal players who use super high output pickups, then again there are plenty of metal players who prefer a lower output pickup that provides a cleaner signal while letting the amp do more of the work to distort the signal. I would say the Custom 5 is is medium output pickup.
I posted the original comment before I got the guitar. Now that I have the guitar I totally get it. With it being lower output the signal is so clean and clear but still very aggressive. It's my favorite pickup I own. And my favorite guitar.
Hey Pitdog360, Thanks for following up after you received the guitar. We're happy that you like the guitar and the pickup!
I have an E-II Horizon with the same pickup configuration and it works great for any genre, especially metal.
Hi Rich, Thanks for posting your comments. That's great to hear.
I agree with Antonio. I'm about to buy this guitar because the neck profile is perfect for me and I love the pickups and the ebony fretboard. Perfect for my playing style and my sound. Goes so well with my EVH 5150III. But I truly wish there were more finish options.
Hi Josh, Thanks for commenting. We appreciate it and we also consider all of suggestions we get.
