[@o-meg-a6043]

Hey Ray, Mick’s sig won’t be displayed at NAMM. He is really taking his time with the specs and model and we are going over a ton of options. We want to make it classy, usable and it needs to be a fit for him. I’m sure we will finish the design in the next month and they will announce something this summer.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks for the info!

[@judaspriestly88]

"NT" is "no tremolo", not "neck through". I have an E-II Arrow NT and it's amazing.

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

I like the Arrow, except for that little scoop taken out of the inside of the upper wing. Is it a heavy guitar?

[@judaspriestly88]

@@finishin.my.coffee8780 it's not heavy, but not light either. I'd say 'average', like a good Strat weight. The cutout does help to get the guitar into a more "playable" position, despite probably being better looking without it, though. I usually send my guitars' necks out to get scalloped, but this being a neck-thru and $2,300 new has held me back. That's honestly the only thing that could make it any better than it is.

[@MrScrofulous]

No, it's "neck through". Plenty of NT models with FR trees.

[@Andy86L]

NT 100% means neck-through. If there’s no trem (and it’s not an evertune) they use HT for hardtail

[@futurologX]

@@Andy86L No, ESP uses NT as Non-tremolo. The first guitar (MH 1000 NT) isn't a neck-through, but Set-Thru. They have a MH-1000 BARITONE which is neck-through and non-tremolo, but it has any postfix except of baritone.

Kinda but if you think about it, they are actually pretty reasonable considering inflation bs

[@greekfreak1980]

What ''ESP'' models, those are all LTD's. First Ibanez and now ESP, habe both basically given up on actual MIJ guitars. Instead all we get a Made in Indonesia models that sell for insane prices.

[@tifosistaymad583]

Multi scale might be dying for guitar but I think it’s still slowly growing for bass.

[@kaixcoree]

The XJ was a HH minihumbucker model in see thru blue and red in 2011. But that was it. Glad to see it back and hope it does well enough to get more models next year

[@BoyAditya]

Mick Thomson probably need times to choose his model base from... I saw him playing with eclipse, horizon... He's still searching his best guitar to be based on

[@andrewbecker3700]

Ouch, the prices are up a few hundo on everything across the board.

[@woundsofthebroken8282]

Really sad that 8 strings and multi scales are dying, especially with the music I play, used market it is then or legator.

Hey Xander I was in one of the live youtube premieres and asked about new E-ii models. The guy running the premiere who was an ESP rep answering questions said they were coming. So hopefully not getting phased out because they’re amazing guitars!

[@kiezersosay49]

The route for the TOM bridge on th LPJ style makes all the difference. Carvin used to do it and i had my s-style ⅞ warmoth built that way as well. Its like top wrapping, but better.

LTD’s do have a bit of an above average price but the last 3 guitars I’ve bought were LTD’s they’re literally perfect I got a B Stock MH1000 with an evertune and it was absolutely flawless

I've yet to encounter a bad Ltd guitar. Even the cheap ones I've played were great.

[@818Kira]

@@ricksanchezito8972 same Its a bit pricey by id rather pay a bit of a premium and know my guitar will be quality

[@GhostlanderX]

I was REALLY hoping we'd get to see Mick's signature, but we know it will be killer when it's ready. Even if he kept the same basic design as his Ibanez and Jackson, it's going to be a BEAST with an ESP build.

[@jamesosterberg2510]

I still can't believe I paid 820€ here in France in 2020 for a brand new 2021 LTD "M-1000" Snow White with Floyd 1000SE + Stainless Steel Frets !! I waited 1 year + 1 week to get that guitar (ordered and paid in June 2020, build in Feb 2021, and got it in June 2021 !!), but it was worth the wait !! I like it a lot !! Prices have gone crazy since 2021 ....!!!

[@theanotsband]

I own Roser Guitars , a small guitar builder in PA. This year I premade a few bodies and necks to offer a 30” scale 6-string Baritone option for our STR models. Ours will have Kahler Tremolos on them along with pickups from DiMarzio like the X2N in the bridge.

[@benburroughs8512]

[@shanemallinson1879]

30' jackson custom baritone was made for Guitarist of sleep token recently and its beautiful

[@shawngraves3297]

I believe there’s no EII guitars because last year was their big EII year. The director said something along those lines last year. So I think they will not be phased out.

[@80s_kid]

For me, the only problem is the lack of hardtail bridges.There are some but none of them on the models I like. IMO the hardtail is better in every way compared to the TOM. But otherwise, we still get very nice and well-equipped guitars from LTD. That Phoenix or those two charcoal guitars with a hipshot bridge would be perfect.

[@DanielGonzalez-fw8kl]

Have you ever tried the recessed tunomatic bridge? It sort of feels in between a hipshot and a Floyd, I personally always preferred the feel of a tunomatic bridge.

[@80s_kid]

@@DanielGonzalez-fw8kl Not yet but I've seen it before (LTD Josh Middleton model) and I understand the concept and it can definitely feel better than the plain TOM. It's obviously a matter of taste, my first electric guitar was a hardtail, then a Fender type bridge, then two Floyd Roses. In the meantime, I played on Gibson Les Pauls several times (to try them out), which I loved the sound of but I had a strange feeling, which I couldn't say what at the time. Then I got an ESP Horizon (the NT version with a TOM bridge), which is a fantastic guitar but then I realized what's bothering me: with the TOM bridge, I feel like my picking hand is "too high/far" from the guitar and it's less convenient. String height adjustment is only possible at both ends of the bridge, not per string. In addition, if I tune down, it is also possible to adjust the octave of the strings with a slightly longer "path" with the hipshot. Finally, when recording with the TOM, I have to mute the part behind the bridge so that the string doesn't "ring". You don't have to do this with a hipshot.

[@broncoxy]

even though I'm not a singlecut guy, those 'Juniors' look really sweet _also that silver Horizon III..._

[@DasOmen02]

As a newblood 6 string Bari player, I gotta say we're really not eating well this year. Hoping something comes up at/before NAMM, but it looks like majority 27" black S types, if anything at all :')

Can anyone tell me, what happened to esp usa lineup? Where is no configurator anymore. Why they decided to put it away? Couldn't find any information about that.

[@TheTactical6string]

i was surprised to not see any E-II. I bought one of the MH-1000 ET in white from last years lineup, it has a lot of paint flaws, great build but if I didnt get the extreme discount i did i would of very let down. I also bought a MH-1000 HT, that one was much better finish but it was a Flame top so just clear coating is easier then a solid white i guess. Im glad i bought a few ESP/E-II;LTD's as theyre great but i hope they keep up the quality. That MH-1000 has a buold serial code from before the lockdown so no excuse there.

[@seanmorgan9020]

Shame they're nearly all Fishman Moderns. But people probably said that over a decade ago with EMG's :p

[@MetalMike87]

Would be interesting to take a look at their japanese catalogue for 2024, including Edwards guitars

[@Skwid-Lives]

Those EC-01FT or whatever are cool

[@stratoplayer1988]

I’m tempted to build a parts-caster with a baritone neck. I want to play tunes that are in Drop B, A#, and A, and I think a baritone would probably fit that need.

[@juanvaldez5422]

Baritone is in B standard so it wouldn’t be in drop B unless you tuned up then dropped which kinda defeats purpose

[@metalfreak9386]

Great video! I am interested in a baritone guitar. I just don’t know which kind to buy because it seems ESP are all cookie-cutter type although I did want the black model one just not sure but I’m I learned something with you on the 30 inch neck. Thank you.

[@krustdogg131]

[@kenn0th3]

They literally do the scalloped frets on every SN guitar. Just for your interest.

[@dust17111]

[@michaelcowdroy9150]

Is the Mick Thomson guitar gonna be an E-II guitar and they've just focused on making a bunch for a huge roll out like the PRS Silver Sky SE maybe?

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

When ESP started, they were advertising in the back of "Guitar", "Guitar Player", and "Guitar World", Fender and Gibson clones for 1/2 the price. Then, Metallica started playing ESPs on the road, and the prices went into the thousands of $$$, for, basically, the same guitars they had been selling for $400 - $700. ESP launched LTD as a well-built budget brand. Then, lot's of touring bands started playing LTDs on stage, and the price is getting into the thousands of dollars.

[@ilovegreenock]

It's quite cool to see so many good specs at that price point. I wished some bigger brands will do the same!

[@battlescarred4271]

NT stands for non-trem

[@hyrumblebee2783]

I agree with the longer baritone rant, I recently tried a 9 string with a 27” scale and it was damn near unplayable, so I opted to get a 30” instead and it plays much better

[@steveduran1664]

I just realized the les Paul Jr variation has kinda always been around.....it's the kirk Hammett spider sticker guitar....without the trem.

[@aaronreasonover7877]

From my understanding the Seymour Duncan pickups designed for the EC-01s are legit Seymour Duncans. Theyre suppose to be the SD custom custom pickup and I believe they are doing kinda like what EMG did with their Retro Actives where they designed them for the the Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredders before they decided to make them for the public.

[@MadAlhazred]

I feel like the same people who complain they're too expensive would be the same ones complaining if they weren't spec'd out.

[@sergejkrynycky728]

As far as I remember the EII guitars are usually introduced in its separate event.

If you listen to the clips from ESP with Stick to your guns playing the new eclipse variant with the custom pickups that actually sound pretty good

[@mcchurch118]

I could really see them holding out on Mick’s guitar for NAMM in order to bring more hype back to the venue 🤘🔥🔥🤘

[@antoondevries6646]

The people at EsP must have issues with colour. It’s mostly black and white with an off chance for red. And then you watch what they post from the custom shop and go: make that then into a production version!

[@sinakaedwards2009]

I think ESP has made the Jaguar looking shape for a bit, at least they have as a bass. Maybe 4 years or so, maybe longer. One thing that might make the 6 string baritone with an evertune interesting is the evertune may reduce the problems you have experienced with 27 inch 6 strings.

[@christianv5539]

Really wish the offset one had more finish options than just sandblasted black

[@tacdoc8736]

I appreciate your affinity for longer scale baritone guitars, but the fact that more and more companies are going shorter demonstrates that a majority of players prefer something that feels more like a regular guitar. They make what sells.

nt for not tremolo

[@minstrel9806]

27 is definitely enough for a 7 string, and even too much for those that don't extremely downtune their guitar. I wish there were more 25.5 or 26.5 7 string guitars for example, cause i mostly play in B Standard or A# on a 7 string and the 25.5 scale is definitely enough for both of those. Regardless, anything lower than G and you're in 8 string territory.

[@tacdoc8736]

The Shiva is sick, but it's clearly going for the niche of sales that Woodbine and Woodrite have been chewing up with their Warlord guitars. I dig it, but not at that price, especially lacking stainless steel frets. I really don't get them consistently making all the signature guitars with cheaper components.
