ESP always goes hard 🤘 Hopefully no more 16-month wait times lol
is the xj offset a baritone?
They’re trying so hard to compete with JJN Les Paul’s never! He’s the goat of singlecut he’s the slash of this generation
ESP has had a weak showing lately. From the hilariously overpriced eclipse to the samey, similarly overpriced rehashes of stuff we've already seen I'm just tired of them.
Sadly no
That XJ offset is coming home.
Hell yes
As a massive fan of guitars with one pickup... That Eclipse has caught my attention. Looks sick.
looks like les paul jr modernized
Uff, that Offset as a baritone 7 string would be literally all I ever wanted 😂
The vintage gold Ec and white Ex are my favorites
I want that offset 😻. Replace the open with a Modern and it would be perfect 👌🏽
That double cut is dreamy
TRUE DAT!! It reminds me of an Old Yamaha I had in da 80's....
Double cut 🤮
@@Augrills you must not be into doom metal. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
@@clugokillscluco I don’t know any doom metal bands that play high enough on the board to need a double cut lol
@@Augrills haha good point
The EC 01 is amazing but I'm in love with the new phoenix
Those silver burst tho...
Ohhhhhh that white Eclipse is calling my name
I love ESP but man if it isn't bugging me how they've been shoving Fishmans on pretty much every non-sig they put out these past couple years. I like Fishmans but i really wouldn't mind some more variety.
That new Bill Kelliher is just full circle back to his Yamaha days 😊
A great mix between vintage looks and modern features!
That XJ offset should get a 30’ scale baritone version.
Just ordered the XJ-1…will start shipping by the end of January. I have both the see thru blue and red LTD XJ-6’s, both have SD mini humbuckers and are probably the heaviest guitars I own.
That XJ offset is dreamy
You better review the bill keliher dc silverburst
Glad they're expanding on the Black Blast swamp ash bodies. I've got a te1000 with that killer feature. It's metal as fuck.
These are probably some of the sickest new guitars.
God dammit, I want them all (especially that fancy LP Jr) but I'm a broke southpaw...
Weird that they didn't announce new lefties, though they often do later, we can hope..
Shoot if I ever get to a point where I can become a signature artist, I want to work with ESP. Those guys clearly love what they do
Good job young man. If I want an update on whats happening in the guitar world, your reels nicely deliver. 😊
ESP NAILED IT THIS YEAR WOW SO MUCH PERFECTION. I WANT LIKE 7 OF THEM RN OMG
And the Bill Signature even has MoP block inlays!
That gold outline headstock is sweet
I wish they offered more for the XJ but I love it didn't even know they had anything like that
Was stoked until I saw the prices. If the LTD’s are selling for ESP prices then god knows what the ESP’s are gonna go for
If ESP release a baritone version of that XJ, I would be a happy man
I was so nervous there would be new Pheonix models…looks like I’m gonna need to make room in my collection
XJ Offset looks fking sick
With every new year, i keep hoping they bring back the ESP LTD AX line.
Definitely getting a shiva
That new XJ is badass!! 🤘😎
I had a Blue LTD XJ6 with Seymour Duncan Mini hums. Cool guitar but I sold it because i never fully gelled with it. It sold for a couple hundred more than i paid for it Used. This new XJ spec wise is insane!! Might have to list some stuff now...
The XJ is a straight up modern metal surfcaster. Already backordered AF but they should have a good stockpile ready for rollout for major retailers. ESP really needs to start offering baritone options that aren’t strictly limited to the 7 string line up. The XJ would be the perfect baritone with the recessed reverse headstock. Throw a nice 27+ neck on that bad boy and that thing could chunk like a goonie
Wish they had gone with adjustable wrap tail or the single pickup eclipse
Please do a video on First Act Custom Shop guitars. Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, JDyer Baizley from Baroness, dude from Boris, Brent still play theirs today. I’ve been collecting everything I can find for the past 15 years. Got a bunch of them but they’re rare as hen’s teeth nowadays. Let me know and I’ll send you some pics if you want.
im 100% grabbing that XJ
That EC-01 looks incredible. My main guitar for nearly a decade has been a single humbucker Epiphone Junior, so seeing an ESP version of that idea is 😍😍😍😍😍
Prices are just too unreasonable for Deluxe LTD's now. I'll be buying Edwards from now on.
i’m really loving how many single humbucker options they’ve been adding. about time!
Should go check out a first act me475 those are weird & cool modified jaguar style body with a hofner style headstock & the black version has 2 pickups
The XJ looks like ESP could be courting Slipknot’s other guitar player too. I really dig the single pickup Junior or LP special looking ones except I think they would look better if they lost the pickguard. I mean, it’s obvious they are “metal” guitars and that white one would be sick without a pickguard, the firebird one is really cool too. I’ve always wanted a Jackson Firebird so the ESP/LTD is probably as close as I’ll ever be able to come. Ultimately I’m an Ibanez guy and the new Iceman is just about exactly what I’ve been wanting them to do with the Iceman , if only they had rosewood or ebony fingerboards.
Single pickup, single cut? You love to see it.
We need the full video
The ec01 i need
I think they played it safe with a lot of these new LTDs. I.e. a load of HH models with Fishman Moderns and a solid colour or black burst if there's a wood top. And they still don't have the Fishmans wired up for the coil split, so they are clearly not using the new 3 voice versions.
That being said, there are some really cool ones in there. The offset XJ looks awesome. I'm not usually interested in single pickup guitars if they are more premium models, if I'm spending a decent amount I want to get the most versatility out of it. But when they look that cool it's a lot more tempting. Why only allow changing between 2 of the voices of a 3 voice pickup though?! Is the aesthetic of having a single volume knob that important!
Kinda crazy prices though! Just had a look after seing some comments here saying they are high...almost £1700 for that XJ-1. Same price for the Custom '87 which has such a cool body shape but no stainless steel frets. Almost £1900 for the Koa top Snapper which is one of the other models that caught my eye. The pickup config on that looks really good, will be interesting to see what this new 'exclusive' Seymour Duncan pickup sounds like. But yeah...with those prices people are gonna have to save up a fair bit.
This was what would look like a very well thought out informal post here bud but you got some rather false. We gotta make sure we know what we’re telling the less informed before we start talking specifics. First they’re swamp ash bodies with sandblasted finishes meaning tBut that’s neither here nor there. I shouldn’t have to explain what that means most people would know by seeing it. The one thing I wanted to correct the narrative on on your post is that they ARE wired and SET UP for ALL THREE voicings idk where you heard otherwise. They’re accessed with the push/ pull control, just with 3 clicks instead of 2.
Just for everyone’s benefit this is as per ESP’s description, at least pertaining to the XJ:
Unlock 3 Voices With the Fluence Open Core Classic Pickup
The XJ-1 HT's Fluence Open Core Classic pickup takes its legendary humbucker tone to new heights. Voice 1 captures that bridge humbucker warmth and punch you know and love. Voice 2 hot-rods it for more output and bite, perfect for aggressive rhythm playing. And Voice 3 delivers the glassy snap of a slightly overwound single coil. With the pickup's push-pull control, you can toggle between these three radically different voices, giving you tonal versatility to spare. Whatever your musical vision demands, this pickup has you covered.
XJ coming back? Ohhhhhhhh shit!
They should make a metal DC junior
So that's where Baldur went!
Are you making a video in depth about them? I was ready to order the old ec-201 but then ec-201ft came out...I don't know if they are any different other than looks and worth the wait for the new model...
good content. yuk on all those guitars though..
That one Shiva looks like a Yamaha SG from the 1970s. The type that Carlos Santana endorsed back then...🤔
Why esp is going more "traditional"? I really loved the way the brand was associated with ultra modern takes on classic models...
Personally I’m over fishmans. Not saying we need to bring back the days of throwing an 81 In the bridge of every ESP that comes out like the old days but let’s start giving the 57 some more love. After having my Sean long Charvel for over a year now that pickup in the bridge has really won me over compared to fishmans and the 81. When I pick up my eclipse with an 81 in the bridge it just sound’s anemic compared to how much the 57 fulls out the tonal range and has so much more aggression yet retaining all the articulation and harmonics you could ever need. I know you loved that guitar when you had it hunt but idk how you feel about the 57/66 set never seen you throw them in anything else after that I know you love your fishies. I mean after all you are the augfish only makes sense I guess 🐠 and I know I don’t even think my Lundgrens in my Mach 7 sound as good as expensive as those sell for per set but then again I’m just not a passive pu dude even tho the 57 is well ya know same same but not at all In reality it’s just a ploy to turn passive dudes over to the dark side 😈
Wait, who is Brent Hinds with? I thought he actually was with ESP!
What is the difference between ESP and LTD?
I see a gibson lawsuit coming 😅
Hi
God I miss First Act
😞🙏
Spug Dom
What about the absurd Viper range ? Now theres only 256 and 1000 both made in Indonesia.The deluxe features have gone - no mother of pearl and the only difference is the hardware ..Oh and the £700 price difference in the UK . As you guessed i'm unimpressed.
Noticed that all the signature models are not the Esp ones. I guess nobody wants to pay 4 or 5 thousand dollars for a guitar. I can see why.
Hehehehe swamp ash
Not super impressed with the LTD lineup this year. A bunch of the “new” models are the same as older models wits replaced with Fishmans. And on top of that, not a whole lot of color unless you like black or brown
We know the XJ is gonna be hoarded by stay metal ray
Drop is LAAAAAME!!!
Underwhelming tbh
It’s just an sg
All garbage. So tired of the overpriced china/Indonesia/Korea lines.
Is it made in America ? No ? I don’t want it
