Anyone remember the thread of the ESP factory/store?

[Gsxrbusa]

I have searched for it and can't find it. The thread had a shit ton of pics of ESP guitars at the ESP store front or something.

Please help me find it. Thanks.

In the 90s there was a esp shop on sunset strip and another on 48th st in nyc. I was at both before but i didnt know much about guitars back in those days.

Bet that was cool.............Do remember seeing that thread I am talking about? It is only a couple months old I think. Pretty sure someone here was in Japan and took all the pics. It was freaking amazing and I wanted to show a buddy of mine since he is an ESP nutjob.

Yeh but most of their stuff started getting out sourced in the late 90's when they started ltd including the ESP brand from what I have read here by a few people..

I had 6 custom shop guitars, 1 standard series only kept one... They became over priced garbage to me after my last few..

It got to be more a STATUS SYMBOL then a real player......

Used to brag about how Many REAL ESP CUSTOM shops I had.....

That dont mean CRAP..........

Get a good guitar and PLAY THE SUNOFABITCH!!

Better one kick ass axe to play......
then 20 locked up in cases...

Yep ESP learned in the late 90's they could just put their Name on anything and sell it..

If I was to ever Own another ESP it would be a used MII, Maverick, Horizon made before 98 or so..

I still play esp and currently own 6 right now, i was counting up all the esp guitars i owned over the years and so far i owned 20 of them, i got my first esp back in 1998.
I only had 2 or 3 that i wasnt happy with but im sure the next guy that bought them might have loved them, most of the stuff i owned was from the K-custom shop= kiso shop and a few from the T-custom shop = takada shop, i cant really complain about the quality since most of them are built better than my guitars made in the usa. The custom shop stuff is on a different level than the regular esp standard series stuff. Most of the esp stuff i see in stores have a SS serial number and thats the standard series which arent bad but i really like the stuff with the K or T serial numbers. Then theres the ch and th serials which are the crafthouse and techical house but i dont think i have owned any of those yet.
