2013年11月9日 · - 16 core "ESP Standard" models will remain remaining in the market as "ESP Standard series" (but with a new ESP logo different from current original ESP logo) for one year, within 2013. - All "Standard Signature models" will be discontinued. Signature models will be available only from "Custom Shop" as "Custom Shop Signature Models".

2016年9月7日 · While ESP made individual parts like necks, the parts were marketed to companies that mass built guitars (e.g. Kramer). Based on what I've heard, and the time period (where Japanese companies were very protective of their names and quality) selling just a neck with the ESP logo on it to an end user would have been an exception.

2014年10月22日 · People mostly bitch about the lack of the "ESP" logo on the headstock and compare E-IIs to LTD Elite based on practically no hard evidence. Is there anyone who has actually had some experience with E-IIs and Standards and could objectively tell us whether E-IIs are in fact inferior to Standards...

2021年2月25日 · Meanwhile, LTD was already well-established in its price range, and the LTD logo is in the same font as the ESP logo. If they had communicated it a little better - ESP = custom, E-II = premium production, LTD = standard production - and had stencil and script font versions of the E-II logo to match ESP and LTD, then E-II would be getting a lot ...

2012年1月2日 · Yes, one of the things they screwed up on with the ESP fakes is the Chinese failed to realize the ESP logo at the end of the fretboard is actually part of the clear plastic slip they place under the strings to protect the fretboard. The Chinese actually put it on the fretboard. The Hetfield style Explorers are the ones I remember seeing.

2022年8月23日 · I called a friend who plays a lot of 80s stuff, and he just happened to have this one for sale. It's an ESP M-200, with the original case and a pickup upgrade on the bridge (he put a DiMarzio Super Distortion in it). The guitar was actually an M-200 UC, with the 'Urban Camo' finish, but my friend had it refinished in orange candy sparkle.

2020年3月31日 · Anything you can find today or in the past with an ESP logo is a major arse kicker! I don't think they've ever been casual about using that name, but now you have to spend over $3000 to even get it on a new guitar!

2013年11月9日 · ESP is discontinuing all of the ESP Standards, etc... Everything will be branded Ltd., Ltd. Elite or E2 after that. The only new ESP's after this year that will carry the ESP name/logo will be Custom Shop models that cost $4000 - $5000.

2018年12月7日 · ESP has shipped Horizons with EMGs for a long time, so I think you're starting in a really good place. If you want to go with passives, you might want to follow the path of Page Hamilton. He worked extensively (like for 20+ years) with Steve Blucher at DiMarzio to develop and wind the pickups for his stage and signature model Horizons.

2022年6月13日 · Hi, I am looking for a legit looking ESP decal to cover up the 'LTD' on the headstock. I prefer the old ESP logo. I don't care for the 'LTD', the name and script/font, IMO, weren't the best choice. Do you guys know who makes them?
