USA ESP

Hey ESP guys.
I've had older horizon standards and eclipse standards and love them.
How do the newer USA made ESP's compare generally?

I’ve tried just one or 2 USA ESP’s and remember them being pretty good, but liking the higher end Japanese ones more. My ‘90’s Custom Horizon with all quilt maple body has been my favorite one I’ve tried thus far

ESP should have stayed in Japan. They're craftsmanship was second to none. Then they had to set up shop in the USA. Then ESP USA is the USA import for ENGL. That's a whole other shit-show in and of itself. I actually called ESP USA and they had some moron answering the phone. I'm sure he had a career in the fast food industry up until he got that job.

I have an early-mid 90's Eclipse and I absolutely FUCKING love it. Probably one of my favorites.

ESP USA is where it's at IMO. Exceptional quality, with paint and hardware options, but without the $5k+ CS price tag. If you find a used one that meets your needs, they are a great value .
