Of those that really caught my eye...

LTD Elite ST-1 [all looked pretty good!]
LTD Elite M-II
LTD TE-212
LTD ST-213 Ash/Rosewood
LTD M-1000 Maple
LTD Hybrid II
LTD EC-1000T/CTM Maple

That Tele shaped Stephen Carpenter sig is actually pretty cool! I personally wouldn't own it, but it looks good.

Also... who is Andy James?

If only it didn't have that stupid pickup configuration, I'd be all over that!

h3 rdb, v 3tb, holy shit.

but why the fuck are they still putting 24 frets on the short scale guitars still. god damn it that pisses me off.

[NeloAngelo]

well, except for the ltd elite line.

but those are just the rebranded standard series esp's.

You should see the people crying with: Why you focus more on LTD? Give is ESPs!!! Fuck those guys, if they play, feel and sound really good (which is 90% of the time imo), the logo on those headstocks won't matter.

[NeloAngelo]

i read the comments. people are fucking stupid and can't even read the news on teh esp site spelling out the fact that esp is going back to their roots and moving the ltd elite production back to the good shops.

[NaturalBornBoy]

So now everything will be LTD?

[Diocide]

I wish they made a 27" scale viper. I'd be all over that shit.

[NeloAngelo]

they used to.

[Diocide]

they used to.

Any model numbers off the top of your head? I try and check eBay for different ltd baritones every now and again.

vb-400 i believe. back when the 400 series was solid as fuck.

Some of those are really nice. Too bad I once had the misfortune of meeting ESP/LTD's VP of North American Sales. Guy was such an absolute douchnozzle I vowed then and there to never give them any of my money.

Yes, I plan to hold that grudge until I die. He was that incredibly horrible.

Toan is in the tribal tatts


A lot of meh for most of em. Just seems like the usual stuff from them for the most part.

I did kinda like this thing though.

[madrigal77]

I've said this probably 50 times since I first saw this, but why did they have to go an ruin it with abalone!?!??!

[Wookieslayer]

Agreed! I hope it isn't too bad in person because I've always wanted an Eclipse and with the Evertune bridge, now even more...

[100 watt]

Nothing wrong with LTD. I love my LTD Viper 400. My Broe's standard viper doesnt sound or feel much different. (though I'd still like to have a standard Viper.)

[NinjaRaf]

I dig that green burst theyre doing, now. Shit looks awesome. Hopefully I can still get an SV-II when all this LTD elite stuff takes effect.

I'd actually love to have a baritone viper that looks like the more SG-inspired Vipers, the ones with the pickguard and all that shizz.

[SuperFlyinMonke]

I'm with you, RAF. SV for me, please.

[Dewy]

I WILL own that Eclipse baritone.

I was planning on getting one when I get my bonus this summer, but we really wanna buy a house, so Ill have to wait and decide when that time comes...Pretty sure the house will be 2 years ish from now, and Ill have another bonus coming before that time which should be bigger than this years because this years will be prorated for the 7 months that I will have been here for at that time. Kinda just waiting to see how much the bonus is and how much our tax refunds are (which should be pretty substantial thanks to having a kid).

[OverDriven]

I really wish they made a high quality EC series with passives and an ebony fretboard. I would replace my old EC1000 with it in a second. I guess I can get the EC1000 with actives and swap the pickups like I did with my current EC1000, but that's a pain in the ass.

[madrigal77]

Another thing I've mentioned before, but why go to all the trouble of blacking it out, only to ruin the effect with rosewood?

[NeloAngelo]

guitars have been loaded with rosewood since the dawn of time. if it ain't broke, fuck you.
