The headstock looks wrong to me. The body has a bit of "Iceman" to it.


This is still my favorite- Love the Epi nod with the Batwing headstock

Horrible bridge on that ESP. The Fretking is in a league of its own - except for the pups.  :puke:

re Fret-king... new one on me, but googleable so googled...

Maybe "Howard Roarke" (lit ref) and those of his ilk would be impressed, (and potentially shocking some people by my conformity to the norm, having posted my instrument deviations) but imo they look far too "Train Wreck" for my likes - something put together by aliens from dna they found, post apocalypse...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I don't think I'd need one of those, but all the same it's pretty interesting...........I see a little JAE influence there  ;)

That deep higher fret cut of the ESP screams "butcher" from miles away. And I just hate the looks of f****r bridges, even if they work ok I guess.
