WHAT ARE ESP & LTD DOING IN 2024??

EDIT: The Gary Holt SV-200 doesn't have stainless steel frets. It was just a copy+pasta error on ESP's website 😢

[thrash]

I agree. Replace the E-II branding and return it to ESP Standard.

[bdw_]

I’ve literally been scouring the globe for a baritone 7 string les Paul for the last two years and it brings me so much joy knowing it’ll be within my grasp in the next year

[jasonstallworth]

I love ESP and LTD guitars! Most of them play effortlessly and just a solid build. Great and informative video here!

[ScottPC]

I’m so bloody happy I got the last model year Standard with the ESP headstock instead of the E2!

[paulpoint]

Haha you snuck some footage in at the Gibson garage. That was a badass place to visit in Nashville. I managed to play some epi/gibs that I would never have picked up in the wild. 🤘🏽

[swish]

I was so happy you were as stoked as I was about that EC-1007!! That thing is a must-have for me in 2024. It’s PERFECT 🔥

[RandomMetalGuitarist]

The Phoenix with one pickup is the best for me. It looks amazing.

[chrissgardiner]

The EC-1007 was definitely the stand out model for me. I'm just curious on the neck profile as I remember playing a EC-407 years ago and not being a fan of the profile. Fingers crossed 🤔

[PulseAM]

ec 01 is my pick. I don't care for the look of string through but hey it's still super cool.

[Tragic_TV]

I hope everything is all right with that family emergency Hunter. Nice to see you back

[MrWill]

Saw Behemoth back in September, Nergal was playing one of the hex-200 models, it was cool to see a major touring and recording band playing sub-$1000 guitars live

I enjoyed your recap! I'm getting two new LTD-EC 1000's in See Thru Purple and Vintage Black. I've had 3 others:but I sold them. The Piezo in black, Sweetwater exclusive Quilted Flame and the Duncan Black in Satin. I love their singlecuts a lot! Good post!

Being a teen playing in the 80s esp was my dream guitar after saving for 2 years I got my first esp an eclipse with emgs today I now have 23 esp, s after playing esp, s for 30+ years I can say the best guitar brand on the planet

[HearGear]

Hi, i noticed that the prices on new guitars actually is quite high. What's you opinion about it ? Do the new guitars have to be this pricy ? Is Gibson´s way overpriced or are they in line with other brands like ESP or Fender for example, I mean during the past 5-6 years I don't get that much more salary that go along with the higher prices on new guitars these days.. Even tube amps are absolute quite a lot more expensive the last 3-5 years. What's your opinion ?

[Shaylok]

I'd like to see them put out a 1000 version of their F model. Most people aren't crazy about it, but i love the dark and twisted shape.

[jarod]

The new red eclipse reminds me of the Gibson that Mark Morton from Lamb of God has been playing recently

[shawnmcginnis]

Yeah guitar prices are cray-z! I got my CE-24 in 21 for 2300. Same guitar is now 2800. Insanity. I was just at sweetwater a week ago and thought oh, the EC-1000 is still below 1000....impressive. i thinn mine was 850 or something forever ago. Guess I saw one of the last few remaining pre $1000 models. Still a great guitar. A better guitar than mine even with SS frets and a better neck joint. Still dang. Guitar is becoming a rich mans sport in someways. Not that it was ever cheap, but wow a $1500 LTD EC-1000. Ouch !

[wmxx]

I would like one of those LTD 01FTs... specifically the white one.

[canyonproductions]

The EC 01-ft and 256 are the coolest lookin ltd’s I’ve seen in years
