ESP USA TESTIMONIALS

Will Adler - Lamb of God

ECLIPSE

"I seriously cannot put this ESP USA Eclipse down. Haven't felt this way about a guitar in quite a while."

Richard ZK - Rammstein

ECLIPSE

"Rammstein and Emigrate have a golden rule: No compromises. This also applies to our equipment. Therefore I play ESP and my ESP USA Eclipse."

Alex Skolnick - Testament

ECLIPSE

“My ESP USA Eclipse has a classic look and feel that’s different from other Eclipse models. It’s a bit like an aged collectible guitar in a brand new package.”

"Build quality is spot on, can't flaw anything. I love the "not over-polished" ebony fingerboard and the whole color scheme is perfect. Set up is real nice, don't know who assembled it but give them a thumbs up from me!"

Jak Kesper - ESP All Access Member

"The USA ESPs are the most incredible instruments ever to bear the ESP name when it comes to quality, finish and playability. The USA Horizon we just received is absolutely breathtaking. Bravo to that operation."

Nick Yoffe - Axe Palace

"It really fit my playing style and everything perfectly. Almost like it was made for me."

vipprimo - ESP All Access Member

"I have one of the new M-III guitars. They are awesome. Build quality is amazing. Fit and finish is perfect. I really like the roasted maple neck."

Nightfall - ESP All Access Member

"I just got an ESP USA Eclipse with EMGs in it. Man this thing is nice. As close to perfect as it gets."

John A. - ESP All Access Member

"I just received my ESP USA Viper! I own 4 other Vipers. The fretwork is incredible as is the playability and overall fit and finish. This is my dream guitar and I’m thrilled to actually own it."
