Literally the only thing i dislike about this guitar is that it's not a hard tail. I don't know why we still use those tunomatic style bridges but i just hate them.

Hey Michael, thanks for your insight!

Lukáš K.

I know that you guys from ESP are the best, you always listen to people and take on suggestions, so i want to ask if possible, make this exact model, specs and everything in LTD, 6 string version, you can make it standard and 27" baritone to let people choose from, give it brushed black 57/66 pickups like those on the EII Eclipse that I suggested way back and you guys nailed it and get the guitar back, keep the finishes in satin and ditch the TOM bridge and give it something like Evertune or hipshot or hipshot ibby, I dont like the shape of TOM bridges but dont like the hipshot that flushes with the body like there is no bridge an example is floyd rose, nice and tudy but I dont see a floyd fighting into a tely. And also I would love to see a trustrod wheel at the bottom of the neck which is much handy for neck set up and 43mm nut would be handy too but not necessary

Hi Lukas, Thank you for your detailed comments and suggestions. Yes we value your feedback and suggestions. It's difficult to release guitars based on all the recommendations we get, however it does help us in our product planning. So thank you again.

Lukáš K.

Hi Todd, Thank you for your response, I totally understand and value that you cannot release every guitar in every specs that people suggest you, but simply put, I want to tell you my ideas that I have for specific models and would like to see them in your guitars and would make me happy if any of those ideas would be able to realize. So if it will help you in anyway in future, I would be glad and if you will someday decide to create a similiar guitar that will make me happy, just simply put I love the look of this modern tele with vintage electronics layout, i´ts just simplicity over everything, but I cannot find any guitar that will be like the ESP E-II T7B, but I am more of a 6 string player, so just simply make it in 6 string, different pickups, maybe different bridge. This is what I can´t find anywhere a 6 string modern tele with vintage pickup selector and volume and tone poti knobs, 24 frets, ebony board, two active or nasty gnarly Bare Knuckle pickups. But on other hand I believe that even in 6 string LTD version this guitar would not be cheap and also I would like to suggest to use luminlay side dots and stainless steel frets.

What is the reason for the price difference between the TB-7 and the ESP LTD SCT-607 B, other than one's a E-II and one's an LTD? From what I've heard, there's little to no difference in the tonal quality the guitars produce. Is this accurate? 

 

I'm just curious because I've been looking into this model for quite some time now, but it is pricey. I love its look and prefer its configuration of the EMGs over the side-by-side layout on the SC signatures.

Todd B. ESP

HI Jake, You are mostly right. The price difference is mainly due to where each guitar is manufactured. For example the E-II is manufactured in Japan and has the look and feel of our Japanese made guitars (ESP & E-II). There is something special about them that is hard to put into words. It's mostly the feel and the craftsmanship level. It's very high compared to guitars produced outside of Japan. However the LTD's are also great quality, just more affordable. When it comes to sound it would be difficult or near impossible to differentiate between the 2 models, so it mostly comes down to the look and feel and whether you want that excellent level of craftsmanship. Also, the pickup position differs, so if you want a traditional neck position tone you won't get that from the SC model.

What size of tuner stringhole, for 7th string? I want use 0.080 gauge, for F1 tune

Todd B. ESP

Hi bucky,

String hole size is 1.8mm which is 0.07087”, so you have to enlarge the string hole to use 0.080” gauge.

Simply perfect.
