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 .
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!
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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!
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
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! 💯
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.
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.
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!!!
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 🤘🏼
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 !
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!!
Anyone know? Are the Signature Series quality the same as they are built for the actual artists? Choice woods selections, etc etc...?? I would expect artist get the best, but not sure the "public" versions get the same quality. Thanks
Guitars we build at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan are identical to the ESP version of an artist signature model. If an artist plays an LTD version of that guitar, the guitar they play is also the same the one you can buy.
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.
fantastastic spectacular very very very delicious perfect more expensive high quality incredible futuristic exotic excellent prime Supreme distinguised more confidence Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I mean Korean models go for that regularly as they've only gotten better over time.
Seriously. No thanks!
2k what? EC1000 and MH1000 is 1.2-1.3k Euros.
@@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
Uhm, you mean LTD.....not ESP.
It's like calling a squier a fender or calling an epiphone a Gibson. So you mean LTD guitars.
ESP is one of my favorite brands ever.
They're a want-to-be Jackson
these are not esp, wake up to their trick marketing
@@theuserthatishere what's that supposed to mean?
FACTS!
Also haters gonna hate!

Greetings from Tokyo. Here for watching the show before buying an E-II, possibly next week. It's 4am here when the show starts 😄
The Royal Shiva is a complete beauty.
Dude 12mins in is incredible
Cameron Stucky i think it said his name was. He killed it.
We are lucky to have a shred friend like Cameron!
@@espguitarsusa Does he have a channel? That track was amazing I've watched it 7 times now.
Ya he was really good. I wrote his name down so I could look him up.
His was good and I also was surprised by the dude from God's Hate.
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.
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 work ESP, love the designs, those 7 strings are really hot, love the demos, Cameron Stucky's playing is inspiring as usual.
these are not esp, wake up to their trick marketing
Some damn fine looking and playing guitars. Look forward to adding one to my collection
Always a good day to stumble across STYG content
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 .
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.
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!
Preach

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.

Great LTD guitar release video. When are we getting an ESP one?
:P
I love Mike Leons bass, I saw it live two times last year, the material and look is so amazing!
It's not how many I want it's which one don't I want! Wow, cool guitars. EC 01 is so cool.
I can't wait for these to become available in 2025!
Nergal’s guitar is amazing.
Looks like a DV8 with a different headstock.
Cool stuff. Love the Arrow series and it would be great to see more 6 string baritone guitars.
esp is metal as hell
hell yeah sammy duet and nergal
Glad to see more baritone models this year! 💪💪
My boy Mike Leon !!!! Hell ya dude. Congrats. I want that bass! 35" scale. I neeedd
17:43 - 19:31 Cameron, I think your playing gives you the power to change the colour of your guitar!
Ahah I had the same thought when I saw this 😄

I completely agree with you and have the same barrier

Sammy for the win!!!🤘🤘🤘
hell yeah
The fingers are ready.
love ESP best guitar sounds ever :D
Lots of cool new LTDs. But is that the whole new lineup or will there be a separate announcement for E-IIs?
Nice line up.
@MikeLeonShreds bass sounds and looks so gooooood!

Hey, i have a question, why you never constructed the series LTD EX - 1000 (1001) but only 200 or 400 (401)? Regards.

👍👍🍺. Cameron’s playing is always great.
The riff Rodney plays in the end, ? Is that a song to be found somewhere,? Or ?
Love ESP/LTD guitars. I share my love for ESP/LTD with Framus guitars and Jackson. Best guitars ever
Hell yeah!!! Love Orbit Culture!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Those guys need their own signature guitars!!!
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
Where is Mick Thomson?
comes later this year
I want one of those MK EC-FRs, ASAP. That thing is sick!
OMG ! That Viper 1000 with the Gold ,Dude !!!
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.
I love my EC 1000 fluence and H3 snow white, ESP’s are on a whole new level.
That LTD DELUXE XJ-1 HT black blast is GORGEOUS! And that ARROW-1007 🫠🤤
Does Cameron Stucky have his own album out? Cuz that was some killer playing.

some killer releases and great demos, real nightmare-fuel if you happen to be a wallet
would love that George Lynch Desert Eagle finish on a bass! Custom shop???
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?
Horizon Custom '87 Red is beautiful.

the MH Charcoal burst with Fishman and Evertune has my name all over it. Time to call Sweetwater
Where are the E-ii's ? This isn't an ESP presents its more of an LTD presents with a high premium price point for entry. Unimpressed to say the least.
It’s an 18 month wait for most ESP ll. So ANNOYING
