They’ve always been more pricey than others and I’m not sure what they sell for these days but I’ve definitely seen some dumb prices on reverb, like 3k and up but no idea if they sold for that.
They’re around from time to time but I don’t believe there are too many of the gloss black variety. You’ll mostly see the vintage black/white and sometimes the purple. I know this one and the other one @Pushead still owns were part of a special dealer run of like than 10-15 in gloss black. And...
Bought this gloss black full thickness from the poster, @Pushead , in this thread with the video and massive collection maybe ten years ago? And have the two LPC’s also pictured. They’re essentially the same guitars, and if you want the emg sound just swap the pups on your standard and you’re...
Indeed, the one in the photo was just off a quick google search and it belonged to one of the guys in Architects, I guess. One of the other guys in the band I was in had two of them, one was the firebird looking model they had in Silverburst and then one of these DC’s modeled/reliced after...
It’s similar, but I’d wager it’s more than likely just a copy of one of his First Act Lola DC Customs, tons of metal guys were playing the First Act custom stuff in the late ‘00’s and early ‘10s because they were basically giving them out to whoever (and they’re fucking awesome too), I regret...
As someone else mentioned, they definitely have exactly that but they’re older. I had a white one back in the day but sold it once I got my full thickness four knob Eclipse I in gloss black. Can probably easily be had used as there were a lot around when they came out in 2013-14ish. Came with...
Not to derail the thread too much but currently - ESP Phoenix Custom (only guitar I had with me when the fire happened), ESP Eclipse I CTM FT (survived the fire unscathed but got looted from the house as no one was in the state when it happened. Rare guitar, so a friend bought it on eBay and...
Lost most of my gear in a fire back in 2019 shortly after exiting the band I had been doing full-time for most of my adult life. Felt like a good time to take a break and focus on other areas of my life, but picked it back up again last year and spent a pretty absurd amount rebuilding my guitar...
Thanks, I spent a long time waiting for the right one to pop up as the Norlin finishes particularly on bursts can sometimes be horrible. This one’s fantastic and was really well cared for. The ‘22 has more wear, honestly.
I probably had an account on here before but I completely forgot about it. From the OG (pre-2010) ESP Forum, and on all the various ones still active. Used to play in hardcore/metal bands full-time for most of my 20s and early 30s, now I’m a write and record at home and gear nerd, though still...
‘79 tobacco burst / ‘07 ESP Eclipse I FT / ‘22 m2m antique silverburst. The ESP sounds nearly identical to the ‘22. Much more an LP than an eclipse, also has the chunkiest neck of the 3.
