- Lamb of God guitarist and ESP Signature artist Will Adler came to us awhile back with a set of personalization options for his next ESP USA Eclipse. In this video, you'll not only get to see Will's reaction during his first look at the guitar (and see him play it for the first time), but also see some background on how we make instruments at the ESP USA shop in Southern California. To create your own ESP USA, use our online configurator: www.espguitars...
I like how the editors just gave up censoring the "holy shits" after a while 😂
We really did try. It was like running from a tidal wave.
@@espguitarsusa 😂
@@espguitarsusa Hahah, I can imagine!
Hahaha, I thought exactly the same when I heard the last batch was uncensored
@@espguitarsusa 🤣
Doesn't matter what level of musical fame you've accomplished; opening a new guitar is the same for all of us. I loved Will's reaction!
It’s a fantastic feeling! Still get the jitters thinking of when my stealth bc rich came to my door
Yeah
But I feel also a little guilty for having instruments that are way more qualitative than my playing. Strange good and bad feelings mix!
Fo sho!!!
So true
The guitar is gorgeous but Will's reaction is even better. And the dude is a riff machine. Great stuff.
If I was a musical hero like Will, ESP Guitars would be the only company I would endorse. The vibe with ESP has been stratospheric for me personally since the late 80's. Quality, service, innovation, and reliabilty all at once and all the time. Thank you for this video.
YES!!! Will be seeing that man in a month!! Sept 4 Megadeth/ Lamb Of God..Will, you the man…
I love how Willy lives in a regular looking house! Down to earth through and through! Oh ya and sick guitar ESP!
Work of art. I love ESP guitars.
The craftsmanship of these master builders affiliated with ESP USA are always willing to bring joy to those who first witness these instruments when they first open the hardshell case. It may cost thousands to build such an instrument, but it will be worth the amount spent, especially when artists gain their signature models.
Absolutely love Will man. He's definitely in my top 5 favorite guitarists category. 🤘🏼
I love how happy he is. All guitarists feel this moment. ❤️
No matter how long you've been playing and how many guitars you've opened up for the first time you can't help but get excited when you do it again. xD
Y’all couldn’t have asked for a better commercial for your guitars. Well done. Love that dude and his playing.
A thing of beauty.
That's one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen, beautiful !!
What a beautiful piece of art.. exceptional craftsmanship...
I've never played a USA ESP, but my Made in Japan ESP is absolutely flawless and is one of the best guitars I've ever played. The Tiger Eye Sunburst is the best guitar color ever made
Daaaaaang. That thing looks amazing 🤩
I love his unique picking style, dude is a fucking beast on guitar.
Why have I watched this 3 times already?
Willie deserves to get these beautiful guitars!!! Freaking talent!
I have a V-II in Violet Pearl Satin, and the USA paint shop is no joke. Spongebrick is really the MVP of the USA crew. Whatever black magick gets done to that paintwork, its pretty amazing and indestructible lol. Could play for hours on that satin top and not even a trace which usually is the bane of satin guitars haha. Love the USA content, keep it up ESP ! Can't imagine how awesome the super high end finish work at the Japanese shop is, if the USA is already so freaking good. I'll have to get myself a Liquid Metal sometime lol !
ESP taking the LP to the next level. That is a beautiful guitar!
ESP was high on my list for next guitar, and this video solidified that even moreso.
Bro even the LTDs and the low ends are the shit!!! Honestly ESP, Dean, and Ibanez are all bringing it right now
If I would give you a tip, it would be to look for a full thickness Eclipse without the belly cut. I don't know what they do in the Indonesian and Korean factories but I have seen a lot of lemons come in lately and all of them were comfort carved. Maybe it's because they remove too much material. It just makes the guitar sound thin, and if you don't have low end to begin with it's almost impossible to dial it back in. That's also why I am not a fan of Epiphones, weight relief makes them sound dull. Now if you want something like a Horizon or a V then it doesn't really seem to matter all that much for some reason. Single cuts just need to be chunky to resonate properly. And while I say that I have a BC Rich JRV that weighs 18 ibs, and it sounds awesome.
@@Thomogon tonewoods a myth it isn’t an acoustic guitar the magnetic pickups just turn the vibrations from the strings into a electrical signal that’s send to your amp
Whenever I open my new guitar cases the first thing I always say is"Holy Hell,look at this thing"".. I love the moment right before I open the case,,my heart's beating,hands shaking, it's like a drug.. I love it
I'm fortunate enough to have two left handed USA ESP's...a 2016 Horizon II and a 2021 M-II. Beautiful guitars. They come at a premium but they are a joy to play.
Lefties are a pain to find, custom's the way to go
@@davidlamothe8586 You got that right. I have a custom Mayones hydra coming up next.
Wow. What an incredible color.
Purple paint job with golden hardware just works. What a beauty.
Cool guitar for a cool dude
Mines on its way!! Only a few months left!!
Man, y'all's paint guy is a wizard.
Beautiful. Will is the man as well
That is the most beautiful Eclipse I have ever seen .... WOW !! Hope they will be available for us hacks to buy.
Willie will always be my boy…!!!! The dude is fucking killer
I remember getting my Jackson USA Dave Davidson wr7 and feeling this very same way.
i still get freaked out by his right hand haha. loved his reaction. ESP cant go wrong
That finish. Wow. Awesome work!
That is a beautiful guitar.
Gorgeous guitar!
Myself, being a guy who is into rhythm guitar and a fan of rhythm guitarist... Will Adler is one of my favorite rhythm guitarists and writes some of the most killer riffs while being so underrated imo. Its crazy how when you are a struggling, broke musician you have to pay for everything... but when you make it and become a successful musician or in Metallicas case, a rich musician.. you can literally call up ESP and tell them to make me a American made guitar, or call up the custom guitar shop and request a guitar for free lol. While I and im sure countless other guitarist, personally worked all summer in high school to save up to purchase my pawnshop bought ESP EC-1000 over 14 years ago that I still play and cherish till this day lol. The perks of being a professional musician.
Sweet 😍🤘🏾🎸
This fking video is so fking awesome, ESP is the fking best thanks to fking everyone! 🤘🤘
Amazing craftmanship ! Attention to details is orgasmic ! You can see and feel the genuine happiness and delight of Adler ! Also I love how the editor just couldn't keep track of Will's words of excitement, and he just gave up censoring those words of love haha
A LOG Moroccan fan, props to you my g
Cool, but can't you just hire a few more people for your USA shop? It's ridiculous we have to wait 2 years for a custom order.
We are actually growing the USA Shop right now, but since we only want the best builders in the country, it's a slow process. Thanks for your patience!
Stainless steel frets?
Correct. JESCAR FW57110 XJ Stainless.
@@espguitarsusa you guys rules! Is this model be available at Thomann? Thanks
@@notalkguitarampplug-insrev784 Use our configurator to design the guitar, and then order it through Thomann if you want. www.espguitars.com/pages/esp-usa-configurator
That's one (beep)ing awesome guitar. 🤘😀
Trust me he is definitely Top 3 Underrated Riff Master of all time.
He doesn't write anything for lamb of God though?
@@dickfitzennwell6639 he literally wrote at least 80% of Ashes lol
Them rings tho ... I take mine off when i play guitar to beats up the neck
Craftsmanship at its finest.
Congrats! Wonderful guitar!
ALL I HAVE IS ESP, ESP FOR LIFE
mines is eclipse i with adler fishman fluence tuned to dropped c. Great guitar
ESP🤘🏼🇯🇵
Damn, Adler looking healthy! Awesome!
I think that beep had a beep on itself that the slang came out louder that the beep.
Oh cool, another les Paul 🙄🙄🙄😑😑😑😑
I just got my (not custom) esp eclipse last month and I understand his excitement. Awesome guitars! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Will rocks!
My man needs that Just for Men for his tasche!!!
My fav guitar of will is camo one forever
And Mark will be saying, “but it ain’t my Jackson”!
I've always loved willie, such a down to earth guy. I've met many of my metal idols to be wildly disdapointed. Will Adler was the exact opposite. Took time to talk to me after a show just because he saw the axcitement on my face when I realized it was him
Those inlays are awesome. Kinda wish they were the standard inlays over the normal flags on the Eclipses and ECs. Not saying the LTD ECs need legit Mother of Pearl but the split flag is a cool look, I love it.
ESP makes best LPs, other company ( no names mentioned) should put their ego aside and watch and learn.
I have an LTD ec-1000 deluxe that feels and plays better than my other company guitars. Even after both have had proper fret levelling and setups.
Little late to the party but looks and sounds snazzy and dapper 👍.
SPONGEBRICK RYAN 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Never ever let this dude go away , he is a true artist!!
If he miss behave just give him a " V " to finish 🤣
the thing ring like a bell ! esp the best
That makes me want to own one of those esp guitar just like that but a red bright red with blood shot eye skeleton on it or a Grimm reaper
What a great guitar player and person
Honest question, why in the world did you even bother bleeping the swear words? What person, who we should even care about, can't handle hearing another human swear?
Because there's a wide range of people in the world, including parents who don't want their kids exposed to profanity just because they're interested in guitars. One of the most important things that people can do is to think beyond their own ethical and moral standards and understand that we're not all alike. Thank you for coming to our TED Talk.
@@espguitarsusa Don't think the right thing to do is pad the world according to a handful of up tight prudish parents. That's not being closed minded or inconsiderate. If you were that concerned why post the clip in the first place? Not like even kids can't hear exactly what he's saying.
Love me some Willie and Mark..they are some of the best guitarists in modern metal.can never go wrong with LOG!!!
WILLIE Adler God damnit
,,,,,,,,masters at Luther craft...............A MASTER MUSICIAN.................long live metal..........😯
Sick af! Now we need a bunch of uploads with you shredding that beast! 💪
Im not a guitar expert but i play a epi les paul and its great..what is the best thing with ESPs?
Thanks
I've got 7 guitars, 3 of which are ESPs. One is AX-50 LTD, one E-FR Edwards, one E-II M-II 7 string in purple. They're so nice and I really appreciate them more after trying other brands which seem to cause problems more often. I can only imagine how much care goes into those USA models if the lower models are already with such good QC.
Fuck i love ESP guitars, even the LTDs are off tap
Nothing better. We sell these like crazy. Love em.
Beauty guitar!! WIll's a monster... but, how he holds his right hand trips me out!
Puuuurrrrrrty!
When i was a kid I thought that when I went to the music store, I would be buying a guitar of this quality.
Not gonna happen. Even the luthier drops hints that only famous players get the best quality materials they have.
Kind of depressing for us regular people tbh.
It was really refreshing to see how hard these luthiers work on these guitars and the process that makes such a beautiful instrument
I love my esp ltd
That alternate picking is intense. Riff jizz lol hope they make an LTD sig with that burst. Fucken tits 🤘
this is a mother fucking invitation to ESP for will to get his new ESP USA custom shop guitar
So fuck ESP now that they show that if you have a name they will do this type of work for you but if you are an average
Guy they will just give you anything..., fuck ESP
The only thing I don't like about the eclipse is the location of the volume and tone knobs. My pinky is always turning the volume down. Same with a Stratocaster too.
Yep its fuc@%!n awesome
Yep Holly fuc@/ $%/t
Fuc#/@% so pretty Gdam efing cool
Remember when you could buy an ESP without breaking the bank? Now you need to be famous to get one lmao . Beautiful guitar nonetheless
Me like.
Bad ass😎
That thing is smoking hot. Wish I had one with a Floyd TRX on it.
Awsome guitars 🎸,,I have 2,,,plus an E-II,,And a few Edward's
SICK guitar for a SICK player!! 💚🎸
Man that would be a dream come true all my life I could never afford a guitar over 100 bucks the one I have now is 100 bucks man to get a free real guitar wow congrats man it's a dream for some of us
Bruh you bleeped out the word shit a few times, and then said Holy fucking shit uncensored hahaha. Ya missed one bud
Man I would love to have a new guitar sure can afford it live on less than 800 month on disability come on ship on my way brother please
Call Japan and tell them to not dye their fingerboards too. It's driving me nuts on these E-II series
anyone got vids of him using it in tour? itd look so awesome and weird, willie has used basically camo eclipse guitars his whole life lol
Whoever is getting paid to bleep out your curse words, pay me to do it instead. Just saying 👍
Man can’t stand the bleeping. We are all big people watching this , WTF !!
Now that, folks, is pure joy. You can’t fake that sort of thing.
HEY WILLAAAYY! Don't shit yer pants Willie.
