NAMM 2018 | NEW ESP Guitars & Basses

[@stuartbegley2085]

4:03 sounds like the drum fill after the punchline of a joke and esp guy paused speaking right on queue, brilliant

[@sceprent]

Owen to the channel owner thanks much for getting this uploaded so soon. I was pleasantly surprised to find this in my queue after turning up no results.

[@Masterfighterx]

1:28 3 piece maple neck = maple block. Mahogany wings = Alder Wings.. 3:05 Quilted maple (veneer) = Flamed Maple (veneer). Get your facts straight...

[@MajorDook1]

Zyx Calm down, Zyx.

[@HannibalX33]

The video ends 6:47, thank me later

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

Nice idea to go to their showroom rather than the chaos of Namm itself. Would have been nice to see a few more guitars though. Still good idea.

[@DeadHandBlues]

yes, its nice to not have the background noise and they can speak normally

[@DeadHandBlues]

You know whats cooler than that single pickup eclipse? Not much.

[@maxmatson1578]

Always wanted the George Lynch ESP skull guitar!🎸💫💀👌

[@POLLOTROM]

You killed the George Lynch with that headstock.

[@stuartbegley2085]

The matte black single pickup has been in the ltd lineup

[@angrytroll27]

Green is a new color on EC's? My green EC if from 09 :P good to see its back though

[@tonehammer7276]

ihr könnt doch nich nur die LTD modelle zeigen..was is mit E-II und ESP original? :/

[@sisajtegabre]

LTD by Floyd Rose who made that are they similar or same as Special?

[@Ogscottyp]

Holy SHIT!!! Lynch KAMI 4 in LTD!!! That means I could theoretically own one without committing a crime.

[@yzfr6i]

I was excited about the Kami IV, till I saw the $1200 price tag... For an LTD?

[@Sofjfjfkfidifjfjuu]

Does anyone know what that black and red bass in the corner is, because damn

[@src248]

That is definitely a quilt not a flame ;)

[@RootsBassCanada]

I wanna try that green bass.

[@NeedyForMusic]

What's with different companies avoiding rosewood now? Can someone please explain?

[@FistOfRuin]

They change the wood, but still brazilian wood. Pau Ferro, Jotabá etc...

[@gameaddict2744]

Rosewood is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. In 2008, the US amendments the Lacey Act impacted Rosewood importation, the results included big fines if you were not in compliance (I believe Gibson got hit with one such fine). So naturally, manufacturers had to find another source for their fret boards.

[@FistOfRuin]

Game Addict mahogany have the same problem.

[@loneponderer495]

Quietest interviewer ever.

[@SteelSkin667]

The Black Metal series is the most exciting thing in this lineup, although they lack a bit of variety. As of now it's only these three.

[@kotekutalia]

Maybe because these series are new and the company is just trying out things. However I think 7-string Viper, M-shaped with Floyd and Eclipse body guitars with tuneOmatic bridge is quite enough for most of the modern black metal guitarists. And don't forget they are (some sites offer pre-order) little cheaper for this 1-pickup configuration, $750-ish. And one thing: there's a legend that single-humbucker guitars have a bit more sustain and tone because of less magnetic force pulling strings.

[@RicardoRiveroHerrera]

E-ii please!

[@postmortem8767]

Why didn't they show behemoth signature guitars!!!!!!!!???????????

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

I don't know !!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????!?!?!?!?!?????????????!?!?!?!?!?!!!

[@postmortem8767]

Either do I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????!?!?!?!!!!!!??????????????

[@valentinpau1434]

4:00 What was that noise ?? lol

[@DigicamCreeper]

4:00 Well, Lynch HAD a guitar....

[@ll7868]

He passed rght by the Gary Holt sig!

[@louiskuhn2389]

3:03 quilted maple*

[@metallixro]

Good job Mr ESP employee just ignore the new Neil Westfall signature

[@groovydjs]

Sorry, I don't find one single instrument useful. OUCH!

[@namenotfound34]

Not even the George Lynch one, seemed like something right up your alley.

[@Rooster7six]

No Kirk Hammett Sparkle!?!?!

[@breathevolume164]

@9:02 did someone drop a guitar?! Hahaha

[@haydenrix4287]

XD i heard something fall in the back ground.

[@RobertKnight001]

Probably a fire hazard to put a chair in front of an exit door.

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

TNDOTsucks In a centre full of wooden guitars lololol

[@mattaibbinmatdinin6698]

Steve grom?grom hellscream.

[@lordsludge5678]

this dude has no idea what he was talking about...like wow

[@etiennegregoire5219]

The old man kept interupting the dude with the mic

[@joeh.9223]

The old man skipped two amazing signature flying v's!! C'mon!!

[@AnonymousUser66649]

Every year same stuff over and over again. Like almost every guitar company. "look at this UNIQUE guitar! Maple neck and mahogany body with flame maple top wow that's so cool and unique!"

[@MetalMan73100]

The Carpenter models seem a bit silly to me. The middle humbucker is of no use tonally and just gets in the way of playing. That design is copied from late 80s Kramer Nightswans, which in some cases also had the H-H-S pickup configuration. Others, like my own, had two humbuckers side by side. Both configurations were a bad idea back then, and Vivian Campbell only played that signature model for a year or two before signing a deal with Tom Anderson.

[@blankpallet2435]

cutting edge you mean having the cheapest EMG'S in the guitars for decades

[@TheArchitect5150]

blank pallet2 nah they have more than just the 81/85, they use 57/66 sets, duncan nazgul/sentient sets, fishman, barenuckle and dimarzio’s as well.

[@arefinkhandaker4370]

sorry but kiesel won the whole NAMM

[@tonalblasphemy6879]

Too bad their QC is trash and they treat their long time customers who have purchased multiple guitars like total shit.

[@arefinkhandaker4370]

Tonal Blasphemy you mean esp's?

[@arefinkhandaker4370]

kitramsey5150 yes sir!!! i cant even forget the osiris body cut

[@Ghost17110]

Kiesel has fallen off for anyone that actually cares about how a brand treats their customers and delivers on consistent QC And all of their latest headless models look so off except the 8 string Zeus. They've never fit the mark with making good body shapes except on their tele-style bodies.

[@MetalMan73100]

Modern looking? All they do is put fan frets and extra strings on body designs copied from Steinberger back in the 80s. It must be great to be able to rip off a company that no longer exists. Perhaps they can start pilfering ideas from Parker guitars next time around, another company that went bust a few years ago.

[@blankpallet2435]

hey keep copying keisel guitars

[@BosGaurus05]

blank pallet2 headless guitar? No thanks

[@1970borntorun]

blank pallet2 Calm down dude. Everyone borrows from everyone. Technically, Carvin has traditionally, drawn water from the usual Strat and Les Paul pool, so they are hardly different. I like Carvin / Kiesel quite a lot but you don't have your facts straight.

[@blankpallet2435]

sorry ,If you check out the woods , paint jobs and bridges which they started getting contracts with hipshot of the new era Carvin Keisels they were first and even though others did copy them ,ESP was last to teh race to copy so its like they were actually carrying a keisel guitar lol, everybody say's it ,too,not changing my mind and glad to tell everyone at every guitar show and Namm let them bells ring

[@SteelSkin667]

Neither these or Keisel's guitars are anything new? They both seem to make superb guitars though. A shame Keisel aren't distributed in Europe at all.

[@669rd]

As usual nothing much from ESP

[@legallyresistingtyranny5901]

No thanks. Epiphone is better.

[@daleweber2579]

The green Steph Carpenter looks more a reissue they brought back. Niice

[@phildo4prez]

Dale Weber That definitely is! I used to own that guitar....wish I would’ve kept it

[@daleweber2579]

Ones they had back then was the LTD which if remember right had few issues, like dead note etc. the Esp version was limited to the small number. I've been thinking of getting one but remove middle humbucker keep an H S.

[@phildo4prez]

Dale Weber I owned the ESP version years ago, and it also had some issues.

[@JacobYoces]

This was cringey

[@JoshuaDalviken]

ESP Master Race.

[@Malum09]

Andrew Levister you can’t deny the man’s committed

[@isMike999]

oh shit...there's Joe Killaby's Kami 4

[@ganingdaim6857]

Grom Hellscream...

[@indianvoiceover587]

The Interviewer have no faking interest in Guitar whatsoever, he is like, why in the world I am doing this..

[@EvanJr]

Nice ESPlanation

[@sceprent]

I somehow always focus on the instrument that doesn't get a clear shot and is blocked for the whole interview. Haha. Last 2 years it was the Schecter Vs.

[@GreenMeanie101]

Kind of wished ESP brought more to the table.

[@kevinruiz4125]

Green Meanie I agree compared to other years. This year is shit. Nothing too special I wish they came out with better like James hetfield signatures

[@TheArchitect5150]

fishman pickups, multi scale’s, evertune’s, duncan nazgul/sentient’s, barenuckles, more extended scales/7/8’s etc, what more do you need? This video only shows a fraction of their new stuff for 2018

[@MrHikkikomori]

Are we even watching the same thing? Esp brought everything id want from them. Theyll take all my money.

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

4:00 that are the metal gods sayim: LEAVE THAT TO BOUTIQUE BRANDS

[@williamkevern3285]

Dude. You butchered Stephen Carpenter's name lol ;)

[@Elyoslayer]

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@XRTD]

And be careful because in there website they will place item “in stock” then once you purchase they tell you not available

[@XRTD]

Hopefully thomann can ship this internationally but as i experience they cannot. And customer service is very bad.

[@Jimmy87268]

I've had some mediocre experiences with their customer service as well..

[@fahrrad2005]

I am a frequent cunstomer for around 9 years now and I#m really sorry to have to disagree with you. In all that time I've experienced just the best customer service that's ever been. They're quick to answer, they help you with problems, even if the date you bougth you equitment dates way back or wasn't aquired through thomann at all. Every single employee I've met or exchanged emails with was absolutely superb.

[@DanieleGiannattasio]

Same here, not the quickest answers but always solved my problems like no others. Best prices, best warranty, super fast solving problems and for free (if you have any with your instruments).

[@c.mister4880]

Christus RTD I never had any bad experience with thomann. Always superb customer service.

[@TBE99]

Really?? I thought they ship internationally..
