The ESP Guitar Company

I’ve wanted this guitar for awhile, and a few weeks ago I finally decided to pull the trigger on it.  I like to fit all sorts of genres into the same song, and I can go straight from speed metal or thrash right to some mellow jazz with no problems!  I love this guitar, it’s definitely a hidden gem that more people should know about.  I’m a heavy handed player, so my only reservation was that it didn’t seem to have stainless steel frets, but so far they seem all right.  I like this guitar enough that when the time comes I’ll gladly pay for a stainless steel re-fret if necessary, it’s totally worth it since when I’m not playing it I’m thinking about playing it……and my other guitars are definitely no slouches at all…..but this is my new number one guitar and I can’t wait to break it in at our next show

I just bought my second BW-1 from Sweetwater. This guitar is so well thought out that I didn't want to risk it falling out of production in the near future, and I didn't want to deal with the wait-time that I had when I bought my first. Ebony fretboard, Fishman active pickups, locking tuners, Evertune bridge, semi-hollow body construction, and a thick, solid neck that renders sustain and stays put while you run up and down the fretboard. Ben really put his mind into this guitar. I've been a player for 45 years btw. Still churning out the rock. 

I received this guitar today and it sounds amazing! Extremely versatile. I traded in my Gibson for it and it's the greatest decision I ever made. 

Recently got this guitar and I love it. Plays smooth and sounds wicked. Love it a lot. 

I noticed this is no longer a preorder. Does that mean it’s currently in stock? I sent an email to the esp team but they weren’t much help. I’m trying to order through Sweetwater but we’re both being told different pieces of information as to the availability.
