[tgreensl1]

You guys should check out espguitars.co.jp and see how many really wierd guitars that are cool (Alexi's models) that we don't really have access to here in the states. they have a much wider selection over there.

We have a large 'Big Boss' super guitar store, which is moslty ESP plus a few other high end American guitars in my city. Many of the Japanese artist endorsed guitars will never be seen in America.

The artist endorsed guitar below will set you back $30,000 USD as a custom order. Yes, that is thirty thousand dollars!!!!!!!!

I always thaught ESPs were just Jackson copies.

Re: ESP Guitars in Japan

Wow....Ya know $2k for a Jackson don't seem that bad anymore, lol. But ESP does make some badass guitars when ya pony up the dough for one. I've seen a few customs come through the store I used to work at and they were all really awsome guitars

Look at the Edwards Series, Navigator Series, and Grassroots Series on www.espguitars.net and you'll see Gibson/Fender LAWSUITS! And I OWN an incredible Edwards Les Paul Custom... it has become my main guitar lately.

Veli, he meant as the shop mainly carries ESP and few other American brands such as Gibson and Fender.

Oh BTW I know a JCf member who digs these Alfee guitars.

I rmemeber posting the pictures of the actual custom shop, and not a whole lot of people were interested in it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What struck me as unbelievable was how 'amateurish' it all was in Japan itself, more like a sunday-morning market kind of thing than a strictly run business.

I love their insane over-the-top CS designs, but their regular models are lacking both in originality and the rest.

Re: ESP Guitars in Japan

The angel guitars are pretty amazing visually, although I'd never want to play one. I think ESP lost some credibility with their more bizarre designs after the abomination that was the "devil girl" guitar!
