I am surprised haven't seen any action here on ESP guitars. Whos got one ?

I got a personal tour of the Corona factory by the VP of mfg back in 2002. Very impressive. The paint booth has the guitar body hanging in front of a waterfall which catches all the overspray. This is then filtered and reduced to sludge that is processed off site. The entire wood working area is humidity controlled with mega misters in the ceiling. The tour of the customer shop was the highlight of the tour, talking to the craftsman was way cool.

Ahh, there is another big company out here, I just had a senior moment and forgot which one.

Maybe suhr or G&L

the $200 shipping is a bit nuts. I have shipped a lot of guitars with large cases for a lot less than that.

I haven't bought any but almost bought an ESP LTD Tele once from Music Go Round. This guy has his own LTD model. He cracks me up but also can play purty good too.

Another of my favorite guitar players.

I like Phil X, too. Damn-good guitar slinger. He always looks like he's having a ton of fun... :dood:

Phil X in the Fretted America videos all most looks like he is wired to the max. I really dig watching them.

One of my earliest influences. I have a friend on the ESP board in Charlotte that has a huge Lynch ESP collection. Like around 40 guitars or so.
