  • Got a spare $4-5K lying around ?

    I'm not even an ESP fan but damn are these cool. The ESP Arrow. The sides flip-flop and change color, it's called Andromeda.

    Cool concept, but there's something about the proportions of the esp v's (compared to a Rhoads) that has an ick factor.
    I feel festive all year round. Deal with it.

        I kinda dig it; that paint is nothing new, but I like that it's solely kept on the bevels. I don't mind the body shape (I like the lower half most).

          I like the bridge...

            It's cool looking, a little different, which is a good thing, I'm sure it is built well and plays like buttah.

            I wouldn't be tempted to pick one up over another Jackson though.

                If you have to have a cutout for upper fret access on a flying V style body, you are doing it wrong.

                  Yeah man,

                  ESP has basically made it impossible to own an ESP branded guitar now without spending $3k +

                  They now have the E-II and LTD Elite lines at the old ESP price range of $1200-2000.

                  I have 3 Horizons that at the time a few years ago were the same price range as SL2Hs around $1799, now you want an ESP Horizon $5000. And I thought SL2Hs jumping to $2399 was bullshit

                    Viewing it on my cell phone that color appears to be Mystic. Mystic paint was used on the 1996 Mustang Cobra and I love it. I had my 24 fret custom shop Rhoads done in that color and I had to send Jackson the paint in touch up bottles which I got from Ford at the time, 1998 A couple years later the EBMM Petrucci appeared in the same color and was called Mystic Dream. I like the color and the ESP guitar isn't bad but those lower cutaways on V style guitars such as this one or the ESP Laiho don't look right to me. The Jackson Rhoads is still a better looking guitar.

                      I think that's a very good looking V. Love the finish! That's a big chunk of change....

                        To afford one of these, you need to be in Babymetal:

                            With the flip-flop paint, the guitar is only $1,000 and the rest goes to a political party. LOL. That is a beautiful guitar.
                            I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.

                              I agree. Just too big and weird looking.
                              I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
