<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I visited the ESP website, and there's this model shown as Alexi Laiho "signature" model. There are similar other Rhoads copies shown like Kai Hansen "signature", Michael Amott "signature" and the SV Standard. It's an absolutely impertinence of ESP to copy Randys Jackson Rhoads and then calling it as ESP players signature model. It's Randy's signature model no one elses signature model, especially not if it's from another manufacturer who copied it.
ESP is also copying the Charvel Star and calling it Roope Latvala "signature" model.

Yeah well, this is nothing new. Like child of norther said: "welcome to last week" - they've been doing this for the last 10 years. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmm... I was refering to Sunbane's original post. He thought the white V on the first pic was the Laiho signature, which Steve agreed to, but it isn't... 2x [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Ah, I stand corrected. Sorry, jumping to conclusions.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So you thought my "noup it's not" refered to the second sentence? It didn't, it refered to the "yep it is [Alexi Laiho's signature model]". You should have seen this, since I used the word "signature" (Sunbane's post) and not the word "axe" (Steve's post) in my next sentence. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: ESP is copying Randys white Rhoads

crucify me now, but i'm a huge gamma ray fan, and Rhoads copy or not, i'd love to have a kai hansen signature ESP, but they are too hard to get and too expensive. getting a custom Rhoads made up like that ESP would be cheaper.

Re: ESP is copying Randys white Rhoads

the AL signature is only one hum and no pickguard, so that's a different one.

but I agree that it's kinda shameless to copy body shapes that way....
