Made in the ESP Japan shop. Impressive. I was expecting to open up the article and see garbage made in Indonesia or China.

Those look pretty nice! I can't wait to see what else comes out at Winter NAMM!

i love ESP & LTD guitars! they look amazing sound great & usually are priced decently but alas their necks are far too narrow for me Crying or Very sad

i really hate that. i cant really bond with my eclipse because of it & im gonna get rid of it. i love the look & the weight & the sound but those necks are just UGH to my hands

Killer looking guitars. I like the new LTD logo. Its nice that they are going to differntiate it a little from the normal LTD lines. If anyone needs any further info, I work for ESP at the NAMM show. So I will have some quality time with these before the show opens.

I guess they didnt feel the Edwards brand would have a strong enough appeal here in the US. Because these are very Edwards-like in their construction. It also seems that Edwards sometimes crosses that legal line when it comes to copying other brand's features, so exisiting Edwards models might not work here. So who knows.

Quite anxious to see the price point on these

I am willing to bet it's going to be the same quality as the Epiphone Elitist series since those were made in Japan by ESP. The fact that the name is "Elite" triggers that thought.
