➤ Sorry for the lack of content lately, things have been nuts and I don't like pumping out low-quality content. But we're back on track there's plenty in the pipeline that you guys are really going to like! Thanks to you guys for sticking around :) Which ESP/LTDs do you want to see next?

So the phoenix next?

Just Izzy Stradlin's picture was enough 🔥🔥

[AndruJorj]

That's a nice guitar. I feel it covers a lot of "bases" in terms of design. It appeals to Telecaster fans, it appeals to fans of harder genres because of the humbuckers, it has a retro colour, but a modern headstoock, some classy binding... It's simple, elegant, and seemingly versatile. I'd feel comfortable taking that on stage for a punk gig, or a metal gig, or a surf rock gig, or a top-40 covers gig... wouldn't be out of place at any of them.

Cr1tikal voice: Yeah baby this is the moment I've been waitin' for! this is what it's all about!

God the 87 Eclipse looks so damn good...

[EthanNewsom]

Not 100% sold on that headstock, but I'm sure I could learn to love it

[andybungert]

Killer color. Retro modern combos like this are often awesome!

[ralfhedstrom]

That kind of headstock on a T-style guitar, is like putting a Ferrari front spoiler on a Ford Model T....takes some times to getting used to, for sure.

[alexanderrobrecht]

Ooof Hunter. As soon as your track started i just just couldn't help it! I had to start headbanging! Nice riffage man!

[synns]

From the instant i saw the video to sweet child of mine I fell in love with the guitar that Izzy played in it. I’ve been away from the guitar scene for the past 5 yrs (had to sell my whole collection to pay for a house move) and on returning I find a copy of my all time fav (alpine white) and have finally ordered myself one, can’t wait.

The bass on the demo track sounds super sick. Awesome demo track in general.

[andrewbecker]

Thanx for another awesome review Hunter. Grabbed one of these bad boys asap and got lucky with a first batch unit from Dec. 2019 outta Indonesia weighing just 7lbs. 11oz. My fretboard is super sick like the one you demoed. The pups are matched perfectly and "all" the coil split settings are surprisingly good. Can't believe the quack this thing can get, then go full on chug.

[mccloud]

About damn time, been a hot minute since your last video. At least the demo track slaps

Also looking forward to your massive Chad unbox-a-thon 👀👀

I know the original was 24.75 scale length but I’m convinced it would sell more with a 25.5 scale

[timjenkins]

Can we all just stop and recognize how fucking great Hunters Demos always sound?!? Hunter you should totally make a compilation of all your demo songs..id rock the shit out of it 🤘🤘🤘

[sb]

That's the darkest I've heard a JB sound. I will say I wish esp would do more with their t shape. Everything they do is so good but they have so few TE models.

[CastToVoid]

The best solid body guitar is a slightly updated telecaster, a design from the 50s.... Love it

[joshuafrahm]

Can 100% confirm this guitar kicks ass, I bought one in "turquoise" back in late June. I did end up swapping out the pickups for a Fishman Modern set with nickel covers. I do find it odd that yours is made in Indonesia, and so do the ones on Sweetwater. Mine was made in Korea, so they must have changed factories for this line at some point after the initial release.

[zebulator]

Thats a sick ass riff dude! I see some good progression there!
