Obviously I like the Metal Horizon! Y^_^Y
Just for my ESP USA Viper in purple and it is insane. The SS frets are so smooth and also I could not find one flaw on the guitar.
ESP USA guitars are amazing. I'd love to own one some day. That purple eclipse is gorgeous.
They're my fav brand. I'd love to own a purple Horizon 3 series
I've been afraid to buy a LTD, but i just picked up a KH 202 that was set for the junk pile, with a broken bridge p/up and thrashed frets, for $75.00. I leveled and re-crowned, and micro-polished the frets, and put a Seymour Duncan Pearly gates p/up in the neck, and a S.D. Screamin Demon in the bridge, and added a fat brass tone block to the F.R. Special. I have about 300.00 into it, and it's one of the most versatile sounding, fastest shredders I've ever owned. I love it! It plays better than my Ibanez JS1000, and that's saying something!
People need to stop saying ESP USA builds custom guitar. Because ESP custom is and will always be in Japan. ESP USA calls themselves select shop because customer can spec their guitar from limited number of selection whereas ESP custom can build almost anything.
Rendy Andrian that’s a very good and accurate clarification!
Look at any Esp Japan......I am convinced those builders are beautifully insane. Literally whatever you dream, theyll build! *Anything* i mean they do call themselves "the one true custom shop" lol
Gibson Custom Shop will not build anything you ask but it s still a custom shop right?....
@@SmallSilverLeopard Yeah nah that's a marketing term for Gibson
Nice meeting you today at guitar center, Thanks for taking the time to talk with me! I could not believe my eyes when I'm just there playing waiting for the cashiers to assist me because they were busy and you walk up behind me! Great chops and thanks for the little lesson! Rock on and have safe travels my friend , You're great!
Love Paul- I bought my PRS from him and many other smaller purchases over the years!
I have a 2011 ESP Eclipse and it blows away my Gibson LP! The craftsmanship is stunning.
agreed... any EC1000 , esp eclipse or E II eclipse will blow any modern les paul out of the water
The Tone King 🤘🎸- Thanks for the post on ESP. Awesome guitars and great sounding.
I've seen a few left handed USA ESP guitars. Not many , however you'd want to say it. And they were stunning. But never seen one in person. I'd love to play one , though I could never afford one.
Yup. Unbelievable feel and playability.
Jerky Boys reference!! YES!!
Wow!!! ESP!!!! Love this guitars. I just bought a ESP-2 HORIZON( sun burst) about a month ago wow!!! sounds great and the finishing is amazing. Love the neck smooth and slick hoocking up with all time. Thanks for the video.
I recently purchased a LTD EC256 / purple and I love it ..
the green one of course
love me some ESP guitars, even the LTDs are crazy quality for the price point!
Yeah I have 2 ESP LTD deluxe and they are definitely the best guitars I've owned. Besides my Washburn Dime 3 of course.
Friedman + ESP. It's hard to beat that combination. Great vid TK!
That m3 is proper cool. Sounds like molten lava come to life
I've bought several guitars from Paul over the years, including my green LTD EC 1000 Deluxe.
@10:18 "Dave Friedman.....'cause, DAYUM!!"
My friend zakk met you at guitar center in CT today! so cool wish I was there
Paul is awesome and he has been responsible for quite a few of my purchases out in MD. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice overview of ESP USA TK thank you ! I think the T style was my fave of these. Rock on buddy !
Thanks Todd!
TK love your collabs with Chuck Levins. I need to take a trip there. How's their lefty selection?
Hello. Not sure about lefty selection (probably never looked b/c I'm not a lefty, lol). but call them and ask. They are super friendly, and will tell you what they have in stock.
ESP USA represents well. Great review TK.
ESP must be the guitar company with the most retarded marketing department ever.
"We have one of the best custom shops in the world,in Japan,which can build you literally anything."
"Yeah,lets open another semi-custom in the USA,which doesn´t offer all the customisation options that the proper japanese custom shop does and makes super expensive guitars."
"Oh.. and when we´re at it,lets discontinue the ESP Standard Series which are high-performance MIJ production guitars,for a reasonable price and replace them with another,more expensive MIJ production model,that doesn´t have the ESP logo on the headstock.Because customers love to pay ESP prices for a guitar that isn´t branded as ESP."
Yeah, I'm not paying $2,000 to get an "E-II" logo. The "E-II" name makes me think "second class".
Absolute truth!!!
The Purple Eclipse ..Wow :)
can confirm, I love my ESP USA M-II in Deep Lagoon Burst. not to self promote but yall are welcome to check it on my videos. Great vid guys!
That green Mii is the bomb!!!! I'd be interested if i wouldn't have just picked up a Horizon!!
TTK takes the best field trips
Awesome vid thanks Louis. Great info.
Thanks MHH
So interesting! What a great guest!
I plan on buying a USA Horizon for Christmas. Gonna get gloss galaxy blue with a Duncan Custom and Jazz. I dream about it and I’m gonna make it happen.
Thanks TTK
GREEN WITH ENVY FOR THE GREEN MONSTER!
The sunglasses commercials are killing RUclips. Blues On... I can't watch a 10 minute video without being interrupted 3 times. My favorite is the purple single cut.
agreed. so many sunglass commercials. what gives?
I am lucky enough to own a Snow White ESP Eclipse. Fantastic guitar, made in Japan. It is a much better guitar than I am a player, I'll admit!
I have that purple eclipse...
With LTD on the headstock 😂
My first electric was a florescent ink Kramer super strat. This was mid 80s
I have ESP E-II HORIZON 3 NT it was £1300 UK sterling now they are £1900 big jump in price for the same guitar , prices are going crazy
Without stepping on any toes here, can someone tell me, when it comes to the quality of ESP Guitars made in Korea and Indonesia, what is the better of these two factories?
Also, how do these two locations compare to their other locations, such as the U.S.? Thanks
The Korea factory is where the top LTD 1000 models are made while the Indonesian models are the lower end.
Then you hit E-II which are Japanese production line guitars that are a step up in materials/fit and finish, but still use vanner tops.
ESP USA slots next where only premium materials are used. You aren't going to find a big difference between a USA Horizon or a Japanese Horizon in quality. You'll save at least $2k going like for like, but the USA shop only builds template guitars. Think of it like building a Mustang in Ford's website. You can change details, but you'll never be able to make a Mustang sedan or SUV.
The Japanese Custom Shop can build you anything you can think of and can build models the USA shop can't like a Mystique or a Snakebyte. It will also cost you a small fortune, so make sure it isn't something the USA shop can do.
I have two Ltd deluxe guitars, one is a 2018 Indonesian one and one is a 2019 Korea one and they both play great. I kinda like the Indonesia one a little better cause it's a M-1001 see through black and the neck is great. The Korean one I got through musicians friend and it's a mh-1000 and they are going for $1100 brand new now but when I got it I got a demo version for like $680 I think. The new price was $799 then it went up to $999 now with inflation it's even more. The Indonesian models are just as good as the Korean ones now. I guess at first the Indonesian ones weren't as good I heard but the quality is there now. I think the Indonesian m1001fr was $1099 new and I got it off reverb for $839 or something like that.
Ñisssssssssce 🎸 That green one is a shredders dream! I would of played "kiss of death -Dokken" right off the bat!!!
🔥⚡🔥
GREAT VIDEO ESP FOR LIFE NICE JOB MEN JUST LOVE IT
Would love an ESP USA M-III or custom original ESP.
That sign you just showed said takamimi and esp. Does that mean they are the same company?
No. Takamine is an independent company. ESP is the distributor for Takamine in the US.
Hey I need some help with a guitar I have had for about 10 years it is a ESP custom , it looks like a streaking V I know it's from the late 80s and it's been painted and there is no visible s/n . I would love to have some one tell me it's value ..
If anyone is ever looking for a left handed , USA Custom shop ESP.
Xtreme Lefty Guitars , has em.
I'd love to get one , but I can't afford one. Which really sucks!
Please bring back the ESP mirage custom, ss hum, in many many solid colours...
and esp eclipse in tele body in 87
I agree 100% My 1990 and 1991 Japanese Jackson Soloist Professional were far better than any USA made series.
I just love TTK at Chuck Levins..... Oh yeah and that Eclipse single cut....... It could change my life!!!! Lol... Rock On TK!!!
thanks buddy!
Enjoyed
Buy an E II and you get the awesomeness without the extra high price,,,I have a few original, usa, and E II AND the E II are just as good.
there is only 1 doc and its dr.epiphone
MADE AS WELL AS ANYTHING YOU WILL SEE ON EARTH
This is the second video of yours that I've watched. Do u have any videos where you DONT swing and hold the headstock right next to something? In this case an expensive instrument. Keep doing it if u want distract and annoy viewers
Or just stop being such a pussboy. He never hit anything did he?
What's up with the audio? It sounds terrible.
I've bought 2 ESP USA guitars and neither of them were worth keeping. They are about the same quality as the older ESP Standard guitars.
Why did you buy a second one if you didn't like them? find a good deal?
ẞßßßßeßddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddfkfkfkfkfkfkfkfkfkfkfk
This guy from yhe store is really cool
sweet esp axes
My esp Ltd kirk hammet model is a great guitar. Just had to swap out the stock pups and the crappy Floyd Rose special.
good buy but you shouldve saved more for the 600 series and didnt went for a 200 ?
@@iceblink8221 I bought the 202 at a pawn shop on a whim. It was only $180 or so. Would like to try the 600 series though. Seem rare.
TheScaredofsilence well a kh 202 for 180 bucks is def an awesome deal
THAT GREEN M1 THOUGH!!!!!!!!🤘🤢
Jesus! Just start over. Don't make the guy grab the guitar like that. Sheesh!
I'm old
Niccce Lynch Mob licks TK. Xheers! likd 151
@3:49 hits the green M1 OMFG
Pretty sure it’s called vibrato, not tremolo 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
UnixStudios you dont mean the bridge ? Cause theres a tremolo bridge (floydrose, bigsby, etc) never heard of a vibrato bridge though ?
I like them all except the green one. Not a big fan of the green guitars.
AGAIN. MORE OVERPRICED GUITARS. FREE TO.THE MILLIONAIRE ROCK STAR. PAY UP POOR WORKING CLASS MUSICIAN. AAAHHH CORPORATE CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST
The m1 is calling out to you TLK! All stunning guitars!
