If you ever wanted to cut through a crowd of screaming fans all trying to plant their greasy little fingers on the precious talent that is you, ESP has the answer.
"Here is an absolutely awesome sword guitar from the ESP Custom Shop. It was custom made for the Alfee's guitar player Takamizawa" reads the auction page for the Lordi-esque Sword Guitar. "The Alfee is one of the biggest rock acts in Japan and Takamizawa is well known for his Angel and other Gothic themed guitars."
"It is a pro quality instrument that actually sounds AMAZING plugged and unplugged. Very loud and resonant unplugged. The action can be set anyway you want it and is currently super low. It is all hand carved etc. These start at around $12,000 or so new so offer accordingly."
Hows this for service: The owner will even deliver it halfway across the world if the ticket costs less than 500 clams.
ESP Phoenix-II electric solidbody guitar
BY CHRIS GILL (As originally featured in Guitar World)
In its original “reverse” form, the Gibson Firebird is one of the all-time coolest guitar designs, but it always seems to be overshadowed by its other radicalshaped cousins, like the Explorer and Flying V. The Firebird is distinguished from the flock by several uncommon deviances, including a neck-through-body design and reverse headstock. In addition to looking pretty damn cool, the guitar is exceptionally well balanced and comfortable to play.
With the Phoenix-II, ESP resurrects the reverse Firebird body style while it introduces a few differences that keep the guitar from being a clone of the original. The result is a guitar that combines classic aesthetic appeal with modern performance benefits designed to please a wide variety of players. If you’ve always loved the look and feel of a classic Firebird but your tastes lean more toward contemporary pickups, hardware and setup, the ESP Phoenix-II will light your fire.
