The ESP Guitar Company

Plagiarism is a damn crime. This is a beautiful guitar but this guy had to RIP OFF Tosin Abasi for reviews??

When you showcase a product, do it with class and style. Let a musician play HIS STYLE and display HIS CHOPS if you want a $1000 guitar to sell and KEEP SELLING.

Love this axe, HATE the showmanship.  

I've owned my H-1001FR about three weeks now and love it. Tone, feel responsiveness playability are excellent. 
I'm not a shredder, I'm actually a lifelong Bass player looking to learn and improve my guitar playing. I chose this particular guitar for not only the reasons stated but the fact it has the thinnest most easy to play neck I've found. I've owned Gibson, Fenders, etc. this is the BEST guitar I've owned. Love it !!

I see what you are doing and I am going to let everyone know about it.

Why did you take my comment down?

Hello, I feel like I need to give you guys a heads up on some differences between the Korean and Indonesian made guitars since I just noticed they changed the picture of the guitar on their site. The Korean guitars have book matched tops. The Indonesian guitars do not (at least none that I have seen). The burst is not done as well on the Indonesian guitars either. The guitar in the picture is Indonesian. The previous guitar was Korean. If you have the ability to I would suggest making sure you can see the actual guitar you are buying because the difference in appearance is pretty drastic. I can't speak to any other differences as I only have the Korean made Guitar which is perfect. But in my opinion the Korean made guitars look a thousand times better. These are just cosmetic differences but how a guitar looks is pretty important. Hope this helps.

This thing needs to be done in basically ANY other color. The current paint job looks like a used coffee filter. Only reason I'm not buying this.

Awesome piece. My favorite 6 string. So about the 7 string version 

I just pre-ordered mine through The Music Zoo last week to celebrate getting back to playing live shows again! I look forward to pairing it with my MH-327 and most of all walking out on stage with it for the first time! I'll report back with a review and photo once it arrives.

Hi, I wasn't really into Seymour Duncans always wanted EMGs but when I heard these bad boys, I was like I have to have it. They are so much deeper and bassier then EMGs. So I ordered one last night from a music store in Germany. Oh ya I live on Belgium. It's in a teal color. I can't wait to jam it out.

Very sad to report that I ordered not one but two of these guitars online, hopping to get a burled pattern something like we see in both of the product videos above. I had to return both of them, as neither looked anything like these product demos. The burled poplar wood patterning on the top was spread out in small, random patches. The actual appearance/aesthetic of the patterning on guitar is nothing like what's being shown here. Really bummed about it. The guitars in these product demo videos are absolutely gorgeous, but what you see here is not what you get. 

What weight has the guitar in kg?

I just got this today and I figured I'd post my experience. (Mine is marked INDONESIA)

The guitar packaging was very secure and well done. Right out of the box the neck was straight and the action was just how I like it. The guitar looks really good. The stock pictures and the picture I'll post don't do it justice. The burled poplar gives it so much character, and it's cool to me that no two guitars will look the same. 

One concern that I had was the glossy neck. After feeling how smooth it is and playing it, I don't see this being a problem. It feels, surprisingly, really good to me. I also really like the neck shape. 

The guitar also sounds really good. This is my first experience with these passive SD pickups, but they sound great. I wish the frets were stainless steel, but who knows, maybe these will hold up just fine.

This is a fantastic instrument. The fine folks at ESP LTD have really outdone themselves. 

P.S. Thank you, ESP, for not putting the model number on the 12th fret! The fret markers on this look great and I prefer the markers to be uniform as they are on this model. 

I am itching to make myself a Xmas present... this particular looks and sounds awesome (even for YT standards). 

But I am a bit sceptical of the gloss neck (I guess a test drive will solve this... if I find one somewhere near). How come these don't come with satin necks?

EII version??

What's the action like?

Beautiful guitar, very Clear sound , It's a guitar that's very diverse for Al genres of music.

The neck feels good to play quick

The pickups are great!

Multiscale please

If only this was a hard tail with a hipshot bridge. Any plans to offer that?

I wish this guitar had EMG 81 Active pickups. I really like to have one withEMG active pickups. ESP do you have any plans to produce this model with EMG 81 active pickups?

Could you confirm if this is equipped with a Floyd Rose special or the 1000 Special Pro?
