The George Lynch model I am interested in! I own4 LTD's, a 2018 Alexi Lahio Greeny, a Kirk Hammett red sparkle I of 500,a KH 3 spider 30th Anniversary a 2017 EC 1000 black .they are all awesome 😈🎶🎵🎸🤘
One of the main reasons a lot of us metal heads went to ESP in the first place was because we couldn't afford the Gibson USA stuff and the 1000 series was affordable. Now the 1000 series is hitting almost 2k and that is just insane to think about now..
@@Kasparow Have you not seen how much these new models are going for?? You are pricing out guitars that have been out for years.. This is regarding the newer models
they always say esp first when they talk about ltd. that would be like calling a epiphone a gibson-epiphone. they do this to get the esp brand in your head to make ltd seem more like a real esp, it's a new ltd line, not esp.@@hesamafsari1617
Been playing ESP's for 20 years and I have no regrets. I have loaned them out to be taken on the road and in the studio. They still sound great and the durabilty ie amazing. KH-202 is still my favorite guitar in my collection.
I can tell you this . If you’re waiting for an ESP / E -ii . The perfect instrument is on route . Stable , precise . Consistent . And easy to play . They are fully worth waiting for .
i love my esp eclipse. It just works stays in tune and delivers. These guys might make the most aproachable guitar for anyone. Certainly for heavy music.
the Mike Leon signature bass is so bad ass, dude is a beast on the bass. its so amazing to see him stream on twitch so up close to see him work his craft. Lets go!
That XJ-1 HT black blast is my dream guitar I have been thinking about for the past 2 years or more with everything about the guitar no lie. The only significant thing that would back it better if I could have 2 with one of them being baritone like 27" or 28" scale and I would say something about the inlays but I am honestly not fussy about that kind of stuff. ESP has been my favourite guitar brand for years that I have never had the chance to play as the ones I want were out my price range at the time.
Some amazing looking guitars there. Unfortunately when you’re left handed as I am there’s very little options available. Really love that candy apple red. I have a EC-256 in Cobalt Blue.
You know… I have only ever owned one LTD in my life - SC-207… and I never should have traded it. It played like a $1,000+ guitar for a quarter of the price. Incredible QC. And this video is so much more intentional and engaging than ANY other brand. This is the year I get an LTD for the studio. Eyeing up the EC with the custom Duncan 14! Give your marketing person a raise! 🎉 thanks for putting this together.
I really wish ESP didn’t lean into the LTD brand so firmly. I played a customer’s real ESP MII a couple years back and it really drove home how great the real ESPs can be. I get it, man…LTDs are nice guitars. I’ve played plenty of horizons and M style LTDs over the years that have felt great. But I can never get it out of my head when I see someone playing one…”oh, it’s an LTD…like an ESP but inferior”. It’s just a psychological thing that I *can’t* seem to ditch. I would probably own an ESP by now but they’re just so difficult to find in a sea of $800 LTDs.
That thought of ”oh, it’s an LTD…like an ESP but inferior” is exactly why they changed ESP Standard to E-II. Most E-II's are absolutely flawless out of the box, with the same care, craftsmanship, and features/options as ESP USA and Original. So if they put ESP on the headstock there would be zero incentive to pay $2,000 - $5,000 more for a USA or Original. However, some people just can't get over the E-II logo, so they're willing to fork out the extra money for that dream ESP guitar complete with the logo. ESP knows this, and while it's extremely greedy it's also a very clever and profitable marketing strategy.
@@9dewittk It goes to show that guitarists, as “evolved” as we might think we are, are still susceptible to the whole “Nike”, “Coca Cola” thing. What’s interesting though is that it doesn’t affect every brand the same way for me. PRS SEs are *killer* guitars and I’ve played many that compete with my core PRSs, feelwise. Same with Squier…there are certain Squier models (e series from the 80s and classic vibes) that I actually *prefer* over some Fenders. For some reason, LTD and Epiphone (before Gibson started winding the bowl) have always resided in that “like ‘X’ but inferior” category to me…right or wrong…
Hell yeah ESP, in a world of nostalgic, vintage, classic, reverse engineered, tone woods and bullshite you cut through the crap again and just bring us fukin awesome guitars! 💯
dude, I'm normally a Jackson Rhoads, Kelly, or anything Neon Crazy colored with a Floyd Rose kinda guy. But the moment I saw that Royal Shiva...I was all like...MIND BLOWN. Saving up the pennies as we speak
ESP guitars are my absolutely weapon of choice, my ESP LTD M-10 as been my number 1 weapon for the last 4 years - cost me £100 and its just perfect in ever way! ESP guitars are the best out there and it is the only guitar I'll use throughotu my music career
I had One EC10 that played and sounded killer but I just couldn't get along Werth the black finish or the basswood body and neck so I got an EC-256 FM for like $80 more and I've had it ever since ! It's a great guitar made in Vietnam of all places but you should treat yourself to higher end M model, my schecter Omen is gorgeous Quilt maple top in purple 💜 burst and it's made in World factory Indonesia 2017 and I think ESP uses the same factory as schecter so you will get a great guitar !
Man that SN-1000 EverTune Koa looks gorgeous, except for the Evertune bridge. More info on the website reveals that it has ESP exclusive Seymour Duncan Custom 14 pickups!
I’ve been talking about how i really want to buy that new sunburst phoenix and now Caleb from my favorite band just played one im definitely picking one up hell yeah 🤘🏼
A bit of a lost opportunity not having the Horizon Custom '87 come with stainless steel frets since it's still a "1000-level" instrument... 😕Sure, it's not the "original spec" but I was certain I'd have to get one as tracking down an original late 80s/early 90s Horizon is getting hard these days. I'd think twice before buying a guitar that doesn't have stainless frets as they're just so much better for playability and durability.
Thanks for the compliment! The songs I played on here are ones I wrote specifically for the demos, however I do play in a few bands if you're interested: Crepuscle (symphonic Melo-death), Sea in the Sky (prog rock/metal), Darkness Everywhere (Melo-death), and Illucinus (tech death).
@@cameronstucky No prob, my guy. I'll for sure check you guys out. I loved what you wrote for the demo. It had that old school EVH, Paul Gilbert kinda sound, which I love. Cheers! 🤘🤘
I would love to hear some Warrel Dane-esque vocals over that riffage. God I miss Nevermore but this scratches that really unique itch. Witherfall came close.
Wasn't all that impressed until i saw Nergal with that sweet sweet simetric V that I have always wanted, im placing an order like, right now, I fucking love it!!!
Bill Kelliher double cut….. yeah!!!!!!!!!! I love also the new ec01… best metal/hard core alternative to all Les Paul Junior copies! Are you going to sell these guitars in Europe too?
Cool stuff , can you bring us a Sena Signature Model from Jiluka? I love his custom V shaped ESP, I need a LTD version or Edwards would be cool 🙂👍 please... woah Kazuki's playing was amazing!!
@@espguitarsusaunfortunately, it’s nothing to laugh at. In october 2023, I paid 2.600 EUR to Thomann, for an E-II Horizon NT-II TEAF lefthanded, that was supposed to arrive by the end of the year, only to be told, a couple of weeks later, that the delivery date is postponed to september 2024! Sepember fucking 2024!!!
@@espguitarsusacan you do a run of the SN Fire Blast with a floyd? I would buy one instantly. Been waiting 2 years since it was first released for you to come out with a floyd version.

It's by far the coolest finish I've ever seen and you don't have a trem model.. pleeeease make at least one for me haha contact me!!
fantastastic spectacular very very very delicious perfect more expensive high quality incredible futuristic exotic excellent prime Supreme distinguised more confidence Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Short story. I have 2 very expensive Gibson guitars. They’ve been in their cases for the past 5 years. My LTDs and ESP get played every day. I only record with LTD and Framus.
I don’t have anything against Ltd 1000 series guitars. I’ve got 3. They are great affordable guitars but I also have 2 ESP made in Japan from various decades. It’s not that they’re like day and night but there’s a significant difference. From a marketing perspective I understand why the company pushes the Ltd as many can’t afford the Japanese made ones and much less the guitars on the Japanese website. There’s really nothing under 5k. I was going for a FRX in glitter storm Violet but the wait is is like a year…at best.

Preach
My first guitar that I still own and love is an ESP Eclipse with EMG pickups. I dream of owning a full on Japanese ESP Custom guitar one day.

Nergal’s guitar is amazing.
Looks like a DV8 with a different headstock.
This is incredible video and introduction, I'm honored to have a LTD EX-50
same here, i also have it, awesome shred machine
Great LTD guitar release video. When are we getting an ESP one?
:P
Some damn fine looking and playing guitars. Look forward to adding one to my collection
esp is metal as hell
hell yeah sammy duet and nergal
Some amazing looking guitars there.
Unfortunately when you’re left handed as I am there’s very little options available.
Really love that candy apple red. I have a EC-256 in Cobalt Blue.
Bought my first ESP Miii in 1988. I’ve had a bunch of them since then but that first one still does it for me. I’ll have that one forever.
I love Mike Leons bass, I saw it live two times last year, the material and look is so amazing!
I can't wait for these to become available in 2025!
Glad to see more baritone models this year! 💪💪
17:43 - 19:31 Cameron, I think your playing gives you the power to change the colour of your guitar!

Hey, i have a question, why you never constructed the series LTD EX - 1000 (1001) but only 200 or 400 (401)? Regards.
1:55 Coming from lower tremolo bridges, I never liked how high over the body the Nashville style bridges puts the strings. Recessed bridge is GREAT.
Man that SN-1000 EverTune Koa looks gorgeous, except for the Evertune bridge. More info on the website reveals that it has ESP exclusive Seymour Duncan Custom 14 pickups!
Mike Leon bass look like something i would buy for the studio :)
I just bought my first 2023 esp - eclipse 2. Man they play so amazing, wish I would have waited a couple weeks to get a 2024 tho lol
Lots of cool new LTDs. But is that the whole new lineup or will there be a separate announcement for E-IIs?
👍👍🍺. Cameron’s playing is always great.
