Is the vulture ever going to have other finishes than satin?

Or is that something that the artist decides himself, what colors to offer?

Would it be possible to fit a Gibson Flying V pickguard on this

or do you offer it with pickguard or do you sell a pickguard that would fit?

We currently do not pickguards and we have not tried installing another manufacturer's pickguard on this model.

Hello, anyone knows the guitar strap model that James uses recently (after years of Levy's m7gg3)? Thanks

Know this is old but he’s currently using Red Monkey “Seek and Destroy” straps. I bought one and they are amazing. Definitely worth the asking price.

Hi Todd, Another question. Is there a list of available guitar options for the custom shop or how does the custom shop exactly work? Thanks Todd I’m advance

Hi Jason, Sorry I don't have a list of available options for custom orders, however we have a custom order form for getting a quote. You can fill it out and submit it to an ESP Authorized dealer for a quote. The usual exceptions to custom orders are using body shapes that were designed by one of our artists which may be reserved for their signature series models. Also, no headstock or body shapes that belong to another brand. Hope that helps.
