  • ESP Horizon Guitars

    What can you guys tell me about these? I've never owned an ESP but I found one that I might be interested in getting. How do they compare to a USA Soloist?

    Neck thru or bolt on. I had one of each and they were definitely on par with Jackson USA.

        I have owned 4 esp ltd models. The first was an ec-50 I believe. I thought it was the shit. Then I went for the ec-1000 model in vintage black. I loved that one. I would still have it if it werent for the MC-600 viper Brazilian flag model that I still own. I had one other it was a MHNT i dont remeber what model. I flipped it to get another guitar. So i didn't have it long at all. The ltd models are great for guys like me who cant go out and drop 3 grand for a Gibson les Paul or some other expensive as fuck guitar. I have played a few ESP models and they were even better than the ltds. I say go for it if you have the chance. As far as my experinces go dissapointment is not an issue

          I don't own any ESP's, but I tried a Horizon II and liked it. The neck profile feels opposite to a Jackson in that it's thinner from E-E, but thiicker from board to bow.

            I like my LTD MH400NT and would jump on a Horizon NT for the right price.

              i used ESPs for a long time. the ESP guitars are EASILY equal to jackson's USA guitars. i regret selling my MII's....i like the 1 5/8th nut width better than the 1 11/16th width that jackson uses. oh well!!! live and learn.

              if you find one, especialy if it's an ESP not an ltd. go for it. you'll be happy.
              GEAR:

              some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

              some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

              and finally....

              i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

                I've owned a couple of ESP's, but I do not think they are as good as an USA Jackson. The reason is that the ESP guitars I tried (An Eclipse and a Horizon) both failed to deliver the sustain that I expected. It has good pick-ups and a good neck on both guitars, but I'll take my Jackson anyday.

                  I have an ESP NTII and it's right on par with my USA Jackson SL-1. I highly recommend the ESP. As far as LTD I don't know since I haven't played one.

                    I've had a couple older ESP's that where pretty good but I felt My USA Jacksons were better. Now the newer ESP's I own are foresure on Par with my Jacksons. Just slighty different neck profiles compared to Jacksons.

                        Well I bought it. I've been wanting an ESP for a while and I haven't seen another one like it. It's a custom order that was not picked up. I'll post picks when it gets here.

                            I guess I missed that one. But there is room for all of us to play. Nice guitar!
