    Bostaph is tidy though, but Lombardo is just something else, seen him play with fantomas years ago, Jesus he's just incredible

    Was it Kirk who sold it?

    Odd if it was IMO, hardly like he needs the money.

    Probably sold it as it was collecting dust, when was the last time he used anything other than an ibanez or his les Paul?

    He rarely uses Ibanez...

    Was he in possession of that strat that sold though? Feels like it was just sitting in a warehouse somewhere

    ESP have completely left the off the shelf market now , only LTD seems to available these days. I recall the ec models costing €1300 now they seem to be a custom brand. Most metal bands use Ltd models

    They rebranded the Japanese factory stuff to E-II, and the expensive stuff is ESP

    I have an Edwards les Paul (john Sykes) and it looks like they were forced to change the shape of the headstock a few years back (mine is Gibson shaped) and since then the 2nd hand value if mine seems to be rising ;) ...I just watch for fun though it’s not worth selling

    The Edwards is a bit lighter than a custom but plays great. The new ones have a chunk missing from the headstock probably after a word from Gibson:)

    I like the black with gold trim on the esp’s . Interesting about holt , players tend to use the LTDs as workhorses.

    i think esp are producing far superior guitars over gibson, a fella wanted to buy mine recently, i told him not to bother with gibson, the eclipse is far superior, so thats what hes doing. holt plays his ltd's probably more so than his esps, im very tempted to buy one

    The ESP is far superior , I’d rather a passive rock guitar than active metal though , far more range
