Re: Picture of Mustaine\'s new ESP DV8 on ESP\'s website

Well, so much for the notion that I might have wanted one of these. The KV blows it away on features, and I'm sure the price comparison... is really no comparison at all.

He's not happy 'cause even he knows it looks awful.

Dave:"WTF?? Who designed this??
ESP: "Uh... you did, Dave."
Dave:"I don't remember drawing that..."
ESP:"Well, you were in an 'altered state' at the time." (hands Dave a straw...)
Dave: *snif* "Still looks like #$%@!"
Dave: *snif* "Hey - that inlay is kinda cool..."
Dave: *snif* "...nice wide neck..."
Dave: *snif* "... wings are huge - cool..."
Dave: *snif*
Dave: *snif*
Dave: *snif*
Dave: *snif*

Re: Picture of Mustaine\'s new ESP DV8 on ESP\'s website

Yeah, he seems to be holding it away from
him, touching it as little as possible.

I saw a string-thru LTD King V KO in a pawnshop about a month ago. It looked a
lot cooler than this one does, not that I
bothered to touch it. I think the pickguard is to make it more "Gibsony" as
are the regular pickup rings. I would prefer direct-mount pickups as others have said.

They're gonna have to rethink the inlays
to sell some guitars, I think - but then
the LTD version will probably just have dots anyway, and that's the only version
likely to sell.

Who knows, some dilweed with photoshop at ESP may have 'put that together' - the neck looks awful wide, almost like a friggin' 7 string.

Isn't it "dillweed"? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I haven't heard that in a long time!

Re: Picture of Mustaine\'s new ESP DV8 on ESP\'s website

I was gonna say it looks like a Photoshop job (the body, anyway). Notice how the flash of the camera is shining the fretboard but not the body? That neck must be warped [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

String-thru KV - yay. I've got a few string thru guitars and I still can't see what all the fuss is about - they're not spectacular, and in fact, they look rather naked without a stopbar. Maybe if you had an intense graphic on the body so that stringsthru wouldn't obscure it (like a Floyd does) but honestly I cannot understand why you people are so horny for string thru.

Re: Picture of Mustaine\'s new ESP DV8 on ESP\'s website

I think the string-thrus resonate a little more... and I dig how they look, especially on an archtop. However, that esp is fugly. And likely overpriced. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
