I had to sell both kidneys to do it, but I had them build me an M-1 in a satin LynchBurst about two years ago. I'm almost afraid to play it because it's so beautiful. Unbelievable fit and finish. If you can swing it financially, it's an amazing musical investment.

Those gold splatters are straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Affording a custom shop is so far from reality for me. I count myself extremely lucky to have bought my dream guitar in 1999, a '94 KH2. Still my dream guitar all these years later.

[Littlesuzieofficial]

Will esp custom shop be able to do a baritone 6 string ?

[gibsonjk]

What kind of satin finish does esp usa use anyone known does it rub out to a shine over time like other satin finishes do?

[UnpleasantDog]

Is it still possible today to order a black Explorer MX 2 model, exactly the same as those used by James Hetfield in the early 90s?

[erickvelez]

Does anyone know how they put graphics on guitars such as the ones seen on Signature Models? Such as Kirk Hammett's guitars (particularly the KH-3 Spider, Karloff Mummy, and White Zombie guitars), Will Adler's Warbird, and George Lynch's Kamikaze? Would love to know for my own projects...

50 Cent approves the Candy Shop. :) Phenomenal work at ESP USA Studio.

Great video man. Let me tell you, I have always admired ESP but the necks never moved with me. Maybe its all from my bro in high school who had an ESP 7 string that just didn't feel right to me.

But to be honest I'm a Jackson and Carvin guy.

I'll second the "what a series of videos" comments-my jaw literally dropped! I was about to buy a vintage natural USA ESP Eclipse, but the the Russian Invasion happened, which, trust me, is a lot more violent than the British one 🤣 Lost my business, the guitar price went up 40%. At least there's not a huge line of folks to buy that guitar haha!

[american_psycho]

Genuinely surprised to see how small the facility is
