I enjoy a thin neck as well, but I've noticed that thicker necks force my left hand into a posture that's better for vibrato and bending. With a thinner neck, my fingers end up flatter to the board and I lose leverage, so I have to consciously hold my hand in a certain way and do get a bit...

Guitars are strange things and not really fungible. If you played a Classic that you know you liked, I would get that.

I have one of those. Nice enough. I did prefer it to an AX cab with the newer G12Ms. The top end seemed more pleasant. Sort of a "paper" sound to the newer cab? I tend to just use my AV cab though. I prefer it. Smoother treble imho and more aggressive sounding.

I have a Horizon with a non-reverse headstock like that, just refretted with stainless Jescar jumbos. Let me know if you'd be interested in that. Happy to send pics.

I do have two other Horizons for sale (Original Series Horizon-1 Black from '23 I think; Original Series Horizon CTM from '14 I think); feel free to reach out if your interested in either of those instead.

Hi all, ESP Horizon Custom Order from the Tokyo factory. $4500 obo Similar to a Horizon-1 but: - Jescar 58118 stainless steel frets - Thicker body (8mm of maple on the back) last pic shows the thickness compared to a white Horizon. (The other Horizon is of course not included and is already...

That was a lot of notes laid on top of each other. All the licks in the one song would be better spread across four or five songs each with a much more simple hook or two.

The old style ESP Eclipse and the new LTD '87 Eclipses are 24-fret Tele-ish things with the Gibson scale.

My favorite high gain amp of all the ones I've played. Would love to check out this new version but don't have the spare cash right now.

I had a Bogner-modded Traynor for a bit. Original amp was sorta like a 1987 and he converted to something like a modded 2204. It didn't have the blue circuit board like a Snorkler but was hand wired stuff. I recorded some clips somewhere. It was a good sound. Had that sorta "chewy" Bogner...

I had one and thought it was a bit meh. The edges of the fretboard were uncomfortably sharp which completely threw me off. The fretwork was good. Guitar sounded fine. Supposedly the material is not impacted much by humidity but is by temperature.

I owned an '89 SLO and mostly play JMP 2204. I didn't think they sounded too much a like. Others have summed up the differences. The SLO to me just seemed to lack character. Too smooth. There's plenty of cut and high end, but maybe it was too high a frequency. The Marshall high end just seems...

I assume it's concerns over money laundering (not concerns specific to you, but just platform wide). But I wonder why the F&F option would be exempt. I can't imaging drug deals are using Products and Services in case they want to file a PayPal dispute over Item Not As Described etc.

I have two ESP Navigators that I should sell. An N-LP-STD (standard spec, from 2017). And an N-LP-CTM (custom spec, I think from 2021). Both have Jescar 47104 frets that are in great shape. Beautiful guitars but I'm just a Strat guy.

I'm not a big Slayer fan but somehow I've seen them at least three times since the late '90s. Last show I saw was on their supposed farewell tour a few years back. The band was great each time.
