    Gibson Announces Limited Mark IIC++

    You know, at this point I'd prefer an old-style block logo 'LTD' over the E-II logo, provided the LTD is a decent level guitar and not some beginner's 200/400 series. If I can find an LTD Horizon Custom '87 (H-S) used in the next couple of years for a lot less than their current (IMO...

    Gibson Announces Limited Mark IIC++

    Mine doesn't, thank you very much. :cool: But that E-II logo bullshit doesn't fly with me. Nor do all the Kirk ESP's with cheesy graphics... That all blacked out LPC however... :unsure:I'm kinda contemplating changing the hardware to all black on my black Burny LPC. Shit looks good. Did it with...

    And Jim Parsons will show up dressed like the Doppler effect in the demo video.

    Official Mesa IIC++ Reissue?

    If that clown's name is in those papers, they basically are showing their own address. Not smart.

    Get ready to be mad... the Fortin Killer Kali module is awesome!

    Especially the whole "I'm not fuckin' around, man". What, you gonna assault someone on camera? :jerkit: I just finished watching the 2 seasons of Outlast in Alaska on Netflix; season 1 has the two crazy b*****s that are stealing shit and the only reason they got away with it, because the...

    ESP goes all-in on single-pickup builds for 2025 – is the neck humbucker becoming a thing of the past for metal guitars?

    Call me a sceptic, but it seems like you're trying to undercut a valid point with some unrelated comment about their age...fact of the matter remains that these guys are universally known as 'shredders' *and* can shred with neck pickups AND yield some (really) good tones with it too. And I...

    Did you see anything as interesting as what Zuckerberg saw today?

    Wow, so...uh...she thought it was classy or at least suitable to wear visible white lingerie to a presidential inauguration? :censored: Women often make fun of guys showing off Porsche/Lambo/Ferrari car keys...This is no different. "I paid a shit-ton for these, so everyone better take notice!"...

    ESP goes all-in on single-pickup builds for 2025 – is the neck humbucker becoming a thing of the past for metal guitars?

    Ask Andy LaRocque, Yngwie, Warren DeMartini, John Norum e.a. :rolleyes: I for one need them. When they're humbuckers, I want to be able to split them too. But most likely, my next shred axe will be an H-S config, where I'm currently leaning towards a Duncan Custom Stacked Plus in the neck...

    DOD 50th "Limited Edition" 250

    Cool stuff... Slightly disappointed they didn't use the 70's/80's style knobs though. Those are still available.

    NGD: 87 ESP Mirage - 48th Street

    @jabps @Nashville Riff Co I found a pic of a GrassRoots (basically ESP's sub-LTD brand, mostly for Asian market) Horizon that I sold ages ago. It has the 3 knob config *and* the Jackson-style headstock! :eek: Disclaimer: this picture was from some German auction, but I had the exact same guitar...

    Oh dear, new Alex Skolnick, and Andy Larocque sigs revealed!

    Same here. A bunch of Duncans: '59n and JB (that came from my ESP Horizon), TB-5 Custom and 3 Dimarzio's: original 70's double cream Super Distortion (Dual Sound actually), a double cream Norton and a black DP103 36th Anniv neck. That Super D is waiting for whenever I'll find some Japanese...

    NGD: 87 ESP Mirage - 48th Street

    Was the original 2x volume and 1x tone? My 2010 Horizon NT-II just has the one volume and tone like the LTD '87 Custom has. Attached: ebony and ivory together (back when 'ivory' still had 3 Duncans instead of 1 ). Side note: Kramer seriously effed up the jack placement. Way too high up the body.

    NGD: 87 ESP Mirage - 48th Street

    No, a $1000 RI that I got used for $450 though. Now THAT was a solid price for a neck thru, 3x Duncan, FR1000 equipped guitar. Turned out someone at Gibson/Kramer was sleeping at the factory, cuz they loaded two Duncan Hot Rail BRIDGE pickups (16.6k DC) in the middle and neck positions! They...

    NGD: 87 ESP Mirage - 48th Street

    Nah don't sweat it. I had to look a few times at pics to spot the difference. :censored: :ROFLMAO: Needless to say, for myself it doesn't matter that much. When it comes to Kramer necks/headstocks, *that's* when I'm picky. Big fan of the original beak, although my SM-1 funnily enough closely...

    NGD: 87 ESP Mirage - 48th Street

    The LTD Custom '87 Horizon has a reversed headstock, but that price... Oof. https://www.espguitars.com/products/32061-horizon-custom-87 I'd most likely get rid of that Hot Rail though...I prefer more bell-like, single-coil-on-steroids sounds for that. Andy LaRoque apparently agrees with me. ...

    Oh dear, new Alex Skolnick, and Andy Larocque sigs revealed!

    in Europe it is yeah. There are still deals to be found, but they're rare. I bought a Super Distortion for €40 last year...That was a bonafide steal. And I sold my two Duncan Hot Rails for €50 each, and those sold reasonably fast, since I wasn't price gauging. But there are guys asking €120-150...
