  • While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was really toward the mid ‘80s when our guitars and basses grabbed the attention of players around the world. The LTD ’87 Series are faithful recreations of this set of instruments from ESP’s 1987 catalog. Based on the original ESP Mirage body shape, the LTD Mirage Deluxe '87 is a bolt-on shred machine with an alder body and three-piece extra thin U-shaped maple neck being made available in Pearl Pink and Turquoise finishes. These guitars feature a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and a pickup set that includes a Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 (with original style bobbins and a push-pull control to split the coils) in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail single coil in the neck position.

    In 1987 I was 2 years old , my dad got me into rock & metal guitar and I've been addicted ever since...I own the LTD M-1 87 series with the single Seymour Duncan distortion/floyd rose. Its an incredible instrument

    1987...I was in a 3pc band and we did mostly instrumentals cuz we didn’t have a singer...Rush “La Villa”...lots of Satriani, lots of other songs just no singing...ahh, good times...we had so much fun... I had an 82 Les Paul custom and a JCM 800 50watt half stack...I thought I was a rock star!!!hahahaha!!!!

    Another highly desirable guitar from ESP,
    and in a great colour, that shade of pink realy suits the guitar.
    Played to perfection, thanks for a great review Jonathan.

    This guitar has similar spec like its 87 counterpart. The biggest different between them is the headstock. ESP won't make the original headstock because it is too similar with Jackson. To me, I prefer this newer headstock because it is what differentiate ESP and other metal guitar brand.

    I was rocking a black Horizon in '87 on the Sunset Strip in L.A. Great guitar. It came with a DiMarzio X2N knockoff that was noisy so I changed it to a Duncan Custom which worked a lot better. The neck pickup was a Hot Rail knockoff that sounded great. I had to split coils for cleans. It was a great ax. I was going to get a Jackson Soloist which cost twice as much in those days. I got the Horizon for $700 with a case. It was a heck of a bargain. I eventually drifted away from metal style guitars back to strats and a much cleaner, more Eric Johnson kind of tone. But I can't knock ESP. They make fine guitars.

    I’m not normally a fan of pink on guitars but that’s really nice. It has a great range of tones too. In 87 I was finished with bands but still playing in church. I bought a Tascam 8 track ports studio and started writing songs and submitted them everywhere but it’s a hard industry to break as a songwriter 😀 In saying that music has been a steady rock and a blessing in my life and that’s more important. Great video Jon- cheers 😀👍❤️

      Inspiring! Your music is probably too good & diverse for many labels to try & get a handle on.Similar thing with me-they want it their way, but yes not many people realize that music you create is so much more important than the ''industry'' keep rockin' don't abandon you music!Oh yeah the ESP, I want it,seems like a very well made good sounding axe!

Unfortunately I have the same issue that you've had with that guitar high e b strings they don't stay in tune I've had that guitar set up professionally twice and I can't keep those higher strings in tune. I feel like I'm in the same position as you it's going to take some modifications.

    it's appearance is super metal.
    But you are playing ballad at 2:04.
    My perception of heavy metal guitar (high gain humberker) has been collapsing.
    you can tame any guitar for your tone.
    by the way. sir do you make your own backing track?
