In huge guitar news today, Paul McCartneys first Hofner bass that was stolen in 1972 has been found!! It was returned to Paul after 52 years! This is probably one of the biggest lost guitar news in years

I think I’d have held on to that, he’s in his 80s. Let it resurface 20yrs after he passes then make some $. He’s not hurting for cash or bass’s. And I mean come on after 50+yrs finders keepers he forgot about that guitar decades ago until they did the documentary

That first horse has a fairly common style of armor on it with the two spikes. The next guitar has a pegasus on it, not a unicorn. The difference between the two mythical creatures is that pegasus have wings and unicorns don't.

When the episode started and Trogly said “ESP,” I have to confess that I thought “why?” Boy, was I wrong. Big time. Those were some of the most amazing guitars I’ve ever seen, which made it one of the most interesting episodes. Great job, especially to the incredibly gifted luthiers who made them.

Trogly, I own an exhibition guitar from the 2017 run and the craftsmanship and feel of the guitar is everything the photos would lead you to believe. The prices of these have skyrocketed since 2017 (and I bought mine second-hand), but if you get a chance to play one in person, I think you'd really enjoy it.

@manfredmar 4 ай бұрын

The inlay on the first FRX was a horse, you could see his foot, the horns were like an armor plate. Yeah, ESP custom is the end game guitar imo

I don't remember the name of it, ut ESP produces their own trem system (non floyds) it's kinda a hinge system, which Ibanez only made for one of their Edge tremolos for a brief time and for what I know, it was loved, so ESPs trems are quite unique.

Afaik, Richie Blackmore had the idea for recessed strap buttons. He’s been doing that for decades. The strap buttons are almost completely recessed into the body with just enough room for the straplocks to go in.

The LP style guitars pickguard looks like someone cut a metal design to lay on top of wood that would pertrude through the face . But the edges of the wood were meticulously carved to make a smoother look. I really like the looks of the scalloped nut. The back of the first real exotic designed guitar in that gray color looks as if it is mimicking dragon scales.

@Masterfighterx 4 ай бұрын

The 2nd one is layered (pattern welded) steel on both the pickguard and inlays

Judging from the inlay description (17:18) those "skull demons" are supposed to be yakshas. Buddhist nature spirits that are often found in pairs, hence the duality of the designs.

All very gorgeous art guitars from ESP for 2024. I have a hard time understanding why these aren't auctioned. Otherwise seems like asking for corruption. Will shops be fair and offer them to general public at fixed price or will owners/associates grab them for their patrons. Just being listed in a few places doesn't answer that question cause could list to look fair then do whatever.

ESP guitars are generally too "metal" looking for my taste but i've always been entertained by their beyond over-the-top exotic guitar finishes on their high end models. i've seen some photos from NAMM in previous years where ESP's high end guitars were show stealers. just incredible finishes on some of them.
