Incredible playing, ffs just chucked my gear in the bin…

we loves ESP. Our metal guitar's pick. those finish blew my mind. as always your playing is awesome.

About the tremolo: you can pick up the version without the Floyd, ESP horizon NT ii. I’m a Gibson guy and I own a 58 VOS and a custom white beauty but the horizon nt ii is the perfect super strat for me, and it’s definitely worth it.

Not fair rating a guitar lower because you don't like Floyd trem. You can get the same guitar without it.
Haven't played a gibson in a long time because I'm not interested in overpriced guitars with QC issues, but I can confirm that these higher end ESPs are great, some of the best necks I have even touched ( Played M-II and Horizon II, both Japanese made )
They are expensive, but you can see where the money went. PRS and Gibson I just never saw it.

I want MORE ESP please!!!!!!!!! This guitar is gorgeous.

Now I am slowly interested in ESP guitars.. I was always into prs, fender, gibson, musicman etc.. but I need one for metal and shred soloing.. esp seems good choice.

Stunning guitar and stunning playing

ESP make amazing guitars! Build, quality and consistency is top notch

The ESP Horizon models are among the best Superstrat variants on the market.
They don't sound snappy though, like most Superstrats but very dark and have massive sustain even with the Floyd. Mostly because of the neck-trough construction.
And yes, this is a NECK-TROUGH, that's the main feature of the Horizon Series.
All 3 variants are neck-trough with either mahagony or alder wings.
Speaking of the Floyd. They also make a hardtail version if you prefer that.
Andy LaRoque from King Diamond & Midori from Lovebites ( Japanese all- female Power Metal band)  are playing the E-II models, which are the Japanese production models.
Also Brent Garset, famous Aussie fusion guitarist has used  fixed bridge Horizon models.
These things are very versatile.
The downside is: Japanese ESP custom shop & E-II production models have become very expensive nowadays.
10 years ago, you could get a Japanese "Standard Series" ESP ( the old, now discontinued production line) for around 2,000€ or  even less.
Nowadays you pay Gibson prices for them.

Gorgeous guitar. I myself am the owner of Horizon and Eclipse, I love them very much.🥰🤘

Wow, I just looked at that finish on a decent screen rather than squinting at it on my phone and it really is something else.  Very casino !!

Yeah, that guitar is a beast and well you play it well....I like your choices because it shows off the sustain and clarity of that guitar. \m/

Nice looking guitar and sounds great, I don’t play metal myself but I do admire those that can🤟

Nice playing!!

I don't know if I'll ever own an ESP Standard but I'd love to get my hands on an E-II some day.  I've played a lot of LTDs and they are solid guitars for sure.

You had fun with this guitar, no Les Paul but a superstrat suits you! Your fingers has all the space you need and it sounded great! New guitar, new man! ♨️👍♨️

love that guitar , but imo you'd better choose an eclipse , way closer than a gibson , and it would be awesome to know what you think between the both
really well played btw , the fact you said you dont like the floyd rose kill me because you use it pretty well XD

@squealingpigguitars Hey man, great video, congratulations.

* To start, the guitar doesn't have Flame Maple with glitter on it, but rather plain maple, and they artificially draw the flames with a paint gun. Otherwise, the video is incredible.

- I think you're missing something very important in your videos: taking measurements with a digital caliper, of the nut length, the 5th and 12th frets, as well as the neck thickness at the 1st and 12th frets.

This is essential for all of us who can't try these guitars in person in a music store.

It gives us an idea of ​​how thin or thick the neck is. It's also a good way to know how consistent the brands are with their specs. Cheers.

It’s amazing g that we have Gibson and ESP products .  Both are so good you end with that first world issue . Of option paralysis.

Damn you nailed that tornado of souls! BTW this room mic version sounds pretty good😂
