    I liked the green fixed-bridge Horizon and the purple Stratty thing with a Floyd. The green Stream is cool too.

    A common theme is that none have stupid inlays.

    All look absolutely incredibly crafted though.

    impressive construction skills, overall design skills though.......

    goes to show one mans treasure is another mans trash.
    Im sure they all play superbly but to this eye none of them where lookers ( i am not their target audience though), well the black firebird type one towards the ends was nice.

  • Great wood working and luthiery.  

    To own and play such a guitar, I believe I would need shoulder length hair (at least) and an open silk shirt exposing a freshly waxed chest.

  • It was my understanding that these guitars were made by the students at the ESP luthier school as their final year projects. they usually exhibit them at NAMM every year. Absolutely amazing guitars. Dread to think of the price tag

    Wow.  The standard at their luthier school must be incredible.  

    For the 2015 series of Exhibition guitars, found below, I came across the guitar below - to my eyes anyway it looks an absolute stunner;

    You would've preferred that they become the 116th company to make a Tele and Strat really well?

    Happy to see them doing something different, and you never know, one or two designs might inspire the popular designs/shapes of the future.

    Very impressive!  I wish the video didn't zoom past so quickly, I could've happily watched the various stages of construction for much longer.

    It's only a little detail, but I love the look of those "hot dog" ends on the frets.

    They were all very impressive but a bit too much bling for me.

    I don't own any of the popular classic shapes so no, as I said I'm not their target audience. Impressive though they where they all seemed a bit too Essex for my liking. I like odd ball designs but prefer a more subtle colour palette and not smothered in Abalone(sp.?)

    Did you see how tight that neck installation was? The green one?

    Ive had an ESP Kerry King V in the past (full fat custom shop) and it was stunning.
