    Anyone else here own a ESP Truckster?

    Had one of each, ESP and LTD. Both long gone. The LTD sounded better. The couch was free and is comfy.

    Not really. There are people that think they should and price accordingly, but you should be able to get SS series guitars for $1000 all day long, and significantly better prices if you're willing to look.

    ESP predictions for 2018

    For anyone interested, here's the comparison review I did on an E-II Eclipse vs my ESP Standard Eclipses. I feel like I was pretty honest and fair in my review of the guitar. https://www.espguitars.com/forums/1963244/posts/2129116-hands-on-review-e-ii-eclipse-vs-esp-standard-eclipse I will...

    Oh wow. I didn't know about that one. I'm fairly active on their web forum, though.

    ESP predictions for 2018

    Where did you see this? As far as any official interaction with the ESP guys I've had, they've always been pretty interested in making things right or getting any information they can find. Even when I'm usually asking for something fairly odd. I just wish I could have convinced them to let me...

    The page leaked early. https://www.espguitars.com/pages/2018-product-preview It's a pretty nice collection. I'm hoping there's some new E-II models this year as well

    Boss MT-2 Metal Zone .... where are the bees?

    Qpfto1qlokY youtube guy voice Watch in 1080p for pure bumbletone! I've posted this video here before, but this is a prime reason why the MT-2 gets a bad rap. The story is I was selling my 5153 100 watt head. The guy came over the night prior to this video to play the amp. We spent an hour...

    What replacement toggle switch for ESP?

    It moves in the direction of the tabs. But since it's compact, you can orient the switch any direction you want and it will fit into the cavity (of an Eclipse, anyway).

    Not to be contrary, I have Eclipses in 10 different colors/finishes (and one in a 11th finish that I sold). They don't offer a bunch of colors a year, but they seem to offer a new color every other year or so. But yeah they hedge their bets on, you liking black or white. That's sort of what...

    What replacement toggle switch for ESP?

    FWIW, my experience with the original ESP switches is that they aren't very reliable. I've had very good luck with the switches I posted above.

    ESP predictions for 2018

    I have a bunch of ESP Standard Eclipses and an E-II as well. I can be picky and say some of the QC on the E-II wasn't quite up to the old ESP Standard level, but I did buy the E-II used, so that may have something to do with it. The hardware is nicer on the E-II. I don't mind buying an E-II...

    E-II replaced the old Standard Series (It was called LTD Elite for a year before the E-II name was brought in). CNC cut, production line assembled, finished and QC at ESP Japan. People claim different things as to whether the CNC work is done in Japan or at the Jixi factory in China (where...

    Put the see-through green and see-through purple on E-II Eclipses and put them on a UPS truck to my place. I'll send my credit card details.

    The copper one. I have nothing to do with the auction, but neither of those guitars do anything for me. https://reverb.com/item/2007907-gibson-1999-les-paul-elegant-alloy-1-of-3-copper

    Cakewalk Shut Down (Gibson)

    It's a shame for the families of the affected. Terrible to lose a job with no notice. Even worse around the holiday. I don't know how the greater musical instruments industry plans on surviving in this day and age. You can't keep shoving out a million guitars (my estimate for the entire...

    The ones I get for my Eclipses are the Shorty Toggle Switches in whatever color I'm looking for. http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/elec ... itches.htm

    playing someone elses sig model guitar

    I play the guitars that make me happy. Only once has anyone ever come up to me after a show and talked to me about gear, and that was a guy who thought one of my custom made guitars was an Epi Les Paul and asked why I was playing it while the other guitarist had an LTD EC-1000. I showed him a...

    Any les Paul owners seen or tried this?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO7O4iTYQd4 Fluff did a video about this earlier this week. I don't believe it's for me, though.
