ESP Forest GT

[naelpierre]

Hey, I scored this Forest GT a few months ago but forgot to post up images of it! Personally I don't yet have any images, but here are some from the seller/shop before he sent it to me. (Thank you Shawn @ Bmusic)

p.s. If you look at the ESP Japan site you will notice there are many many many many shapes that are new/original. They just tend to send the common ones in the US since that is what sells.

p.p.s. How do i post an image? I'll do that once someone explains to me. I did try to search but found nothing. [EDIT] I've figured it out!

Nice looking guitar bro. Has a BC Rich sort of style to it.

[zeegler]

That's very classy looking!I really like the finish. Is that ash?

[naelpierre]

Yes, well the body is Mahogany with an Ash top (you can see the think inch or so ash top), and the neck is 3-piece hard maple.

[Flatpicker]

Very nice.
I wish ESP would send there original shapes to the US.
They are a high quality shop, but get labeled as a copycat here because of that .

[Grandturk]

Isn't that the same shape as that Lynch Baritone they were pushing last year?

[naelpierre]

No friend, the lynch Baritone is known as the Forest-G Shape, a bit like the LTD's you can get in the US, and this is the Forest GT shape, only available in Japan. (The Baritone actually is a slight deviation of the G shape).
Here they are in comparison, The GT for me is just a bit spikier and less blunt.

Oh yeah, you can see the difference. Bit like the difference between a strat and a dinky, I guess - same, but not the same-same. Pretty cool either way. I dig it.

I love that white blond finish, very Mary Kay'ish
