ESP guitars, OLA Englund NSFW content, School me on ESPs

That is an utterly fantastic guitar in his vid. Have a buddy who has one just like and swears by it. Hard to go wrong with an ESP as long as it doesn't say E-II on the headstock... (see the 2:45 second mark of the video). :ROFLMAO:
 
The 1980s ESP Strat clones were killer, but most higher end Japanese guitars were. I can't see the quality being any different today.
 
I've never had the opportunity to play an ESP so they have never really been on my radar, but after searching guitars recently looking for guitars with certain spec's that I like I came across a couple of them that really got my attention. Now my interest is piqued and I'm pretty sure there will be one in my not too distant future.
 
I didn't know this until now but
"In 1975, Hisatake Shibuya opened a shop called Electric Sound Products (ESP) in Tokyo, Japan, which provided custom replacement parts for guitars. At this time, ESP also began making guitars under the ESP and Navigator brand in the Japanese market.[citation needed]
ESP began making the bodies and necks for Kramer Guitars and other manufacturers were using ESP as an OEM such as Robin Guitars, Schecter Guitar Research and DiMarzio. Many traits of the Kramer line are still visible including neck construction and body bevels. ESP tooled up for Tom Anderson's shaved bolt on neck heel on the Schecter bodies and this has since become a feature of their house brand...."
