I'll say it again ESP...where is the red star Jeff Hanneman? Why can't I see that anywhere? We are a few days away from the 10th anniversary of his passing....maybe, just maybe the promised guitar could have been shown at NAMM....no? Also, love Holt and Exodus but $2300 for an LTD? FO
@@gerarddoyle9458 It will still be too high. I love the new finish on the Sparrowhawk and that's too much @$1800 for an Indonesian/Korean LTD with a tunamatic. Even the pickups are basically the same price as Duncans. If these LTD's were made in Japan like the LTD Elites were, then maybe.
Please people don't buy this guitar. We need to send ESP the message that 2300$ for an Ltd is unacceptable period. If they sell it, it's gonna mean to them that it's okay to sell Ltd for these prices and next year you'll see these prices everywhere for MIK or MII guitars. ESP guitars please note: THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY.
1999 is the price…I have no problem buying it at that price it has stainless steel frets. It’s an artist model, and generally all these guitars are just getting more expensive. This is actually more custom than most signature. Models are.
Dear ESP what in the actual frig on the price? Obviously you know that the majority of your consumers are definitely thinking this is way over priced ... it's an ltd and your entire consumer base knows ltd to be more budget friendly , almost 2 and half grand isn't budget friendly at all, can you please address and mine and everybody's frustration with your ridiculous pricing? Please reply back to me with a comment and show your consumers you care and are listening. Cuz believe I'm the type of customer you don't want to lose. I buy more than 10 guitars a year. So yeah. Response please? Thanks
Over 3k CAD for a guitar you probably won't even be able to buy for another year at least, and even then will be sold out everywhere for the following year. Looks cool though!
R means reverse? In a car it does but on your signature guitar. It means the front pickup splits into a single, I can't believe he doesn't know how to work his own guitar. I have a Gary holt signature black and red.
Gary is 100% correct. It splits the pickup with the REVERSE positioning of the single coil relative to EMG's standard so the single coil output is the side that's closest to the neck.
@@espguitarsusa well that isn't what I was told when I bought the original Gh-600 and how it was it was in the description. So somebody is kinda full of it, and in that interview he straight up comes off like he doesn't know. I guess whatever it does sounds good. I changed my original post to not sound so nasty, but maybe some of you and guitar shops have a little communication breakdown
@@JoeBlack1108 Check out EMG's description, which matches what Gary is saying here. The push-pull switch does indeed engage a single-coil mode, but the R is for "reverse" in regard to the positioning of the single coil. www.emgpickups.com/89r.html
@@espguitarsusa i didn't say you had the wrong description, the guitar store i bought it from and that was 2 years ago, honestly didn't know it was Gary Holt signature, just thought it was very cool colors and reminded me of a chevelle I had.
@PJ Ket did I say anything about his ability to play guitar? No I didn't. Absolutely no question on skills in playing and writing. That wasn't what I said, learn to read AND comprehend. I didn't know who he is until after i seen the guitar in a store and liked it. THE STORE told me what it it did when it was sold to me, it isn't up to me to take it apart to figure it out, it looked wicked and played well so I bought it. THE GUITAR STORE told me what it was for and assumed they knew what they were talking about, stupid me for thinking they knew what they were talking about.
It’s been a long time coming and I want one, but not for $2300. That’s ESP Standard territory.
Prices have gone nuts. Fortunately I have enough guitars.
@@JD-vj4go No doubt. I recently bought a 2020 ESP Custom Shop Horizon-III from Reverb for a few hundred LESS than this LTD…
They should be ashamed for even asking that much. I’m a ESP fan myself, but there prices lately absolutely disgust me.
@@SilentNightBodomNight So what you’re saying is that $3700 for an E-II M-II is too much?? 😂🤢🤮
@@Wyatth58 that’s even worse.
Anybody remember when high end LTDs were under a £1000? They're basically ESP prices nowadays
ESP FOR THE GREATNESS
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I liked Garys eclipses... but maaaaaaaan this is just amazing!!!

Beautiful guitar man 😍
Y’all are wild with these prices. I love ESP. I own 6. I guess that will be it unless I go older/used.
ESP GARY HOLT SHOW GUITARS.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome 👍
Rockin fn roll!
holt is the best dude
I have the Snow White Eclipse and love it!
$2300? LTD? Really? They apparently lowered it to $2k... still ridiculous for an LTD.
Think Gary said that he's in meetings this week to bring the price down

WHAT A COOL GUITAR ! Wow.
𖤐Great guitar!𖤐
I need this left handed
LTD prices are out of control! Even Epiphone are getting dumb expensive. PRS made in USA for just under 2k looking really good.

Unfortunately there are too many dumb people in this world
I'm gonna buy two!
I love Gary Holt music and i loved that new V, bet it sounds awesome, but $2300 for a LTD? Sorry but that's a na uh from me.
🤟
any hipshot version on this SV ?
I think it would look better with black pick ups.

ESP? Is that you?
killer guitar..... for one of the top 3 guitarists in all of thrash metal

Nice weapon ! Now Gary can go for a much better killing spreed !
For $2300 I'll pass all day every day!
100% might as well get a used E-II or ESP Japan for that money
@@MK-oz2lf E-lls are about that price brand new. But yes I agree, that's a ridiculous price for that guitar!
Even with the case included and with neck thru, the 2300 it’s overpriced. It have Floyd rose 1000 se! It must have original Floyd rose for that price.
LTD is really breaking the mold with this one.
Over 3k CAD for a guitar you probably won't even be able to buy for another year at least, and even then will be sold out everywhere for the following year. Looks cool though!
Sick guitar, I'd be sanding down that neck tho. Not a fan of finished necks.
I should see if ESP wants my SSN while I’m at it. Maybe even my bank account information too.
Not selling many of those at that ridiculous price! I won't be buying one!!

Damn. Drop the price on the LTD model's. That's ESP price range. Sorry GH, I love ya man, but that's way overpriced.
Cool but the price is a bit much
Those knobs are too close to the palm mute area
For that price? Nope!
24,75'' scale? no thanks.
