🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love you guys!!!! If I lived in the UK, I quit my job and live around back of the store and hang out with you both all day. Cheers from Atlanta, Georgia USA.
That's a very surprising sound out of that bridge pickup! Sounds very full and warmer than I would expect. I wasn't sure about these when they came out originally, because they seemed too simple, but now I'm sold they look and sound killer!
This reminds me of the Gibson Studio Lite. You get a beater guitar to have around everywhere and drag to rehearsals, and at some point you realise you don't touch your more expensive guitars anymore. It's like marrying your partner of years not out of Big Romantic Notions and Platonic Aspirations but just because she's been around forever and has become part of you.
About the same time ESP LTD first put out the LTD EC-10 with the two humbuckers they also put out a small run of single humbucker guitars they called the LTD EC-1(Not the Traveler one either). I have two of those original LTD EC-1's in matte black. So I am glad to see these new LTD single humbucker guitars with block inlays cause mine just have the dot inlays.
What's happening to the world where they charge over £1000 for one pickup guitar made by LTD - the brand that was initially making affordable versions of ESP guitars.
With CNC tech it's amazing that guitars cost so much. It's three pieces of wood. The most difficult part is the frets, and these could all be completely finished by a computer. It is very simple carpentry.
Well, I can't afford a new guitar but I did just order one jar of Patum Paperium off of Amazon. I guess I am part of the 2% who like that kind of stuff (and these guitars!). Cheers!
I have two single-pickup guitars in my collection and I think ESP really made a mistake giving these only a volume pot. I almost never use the tone knob on my guitars with multiple pickups (single, humbucker, P90, whatever) but when you only have one pickup you really need that tone knob to get a full spectrum of sound. These might only appeal to players who want to play all-out all the time. Just my two pennies.
Really agree. I have an SG Junior which is an amazing guitar, so many different sounds from it - balls to the floor rocking, to really mellow - but the tone control is crucial to its versatility.
A lot of metal bands have gone the single bridge route with there guitars. Like Ryan from Motionless in White has a single pickup custom ESP EC baritone, Ricky also from the band has a single pickup Ibanez. Andrew Baena from Carosa has a single pickup 8 string Aristides, one of the guitarists from Meshuggah...
Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom) had only bridge pickup on most of his signature guitars. Only the latest models had a single coil in the neck. I have one of those ESP Edwards models from him and it sounds kickass! It's surely meant for some heavier tones though 😄
He also had a pre-amp booster in his guitars which had EQ settings and additional gain which he used a lot because he had the gain pretty low on his amps.
ESP LTD The BEST necks on the market. Incredible value for the money. I sold my Les Paul to get a LTD EC 1000 Deluxe quite some years ago, just BETTER for a 3rd of the Gibson. I still have a Les Paul Gold top P90, and this one is also inferior to the ESP LTD.
It looks like they did everything they could to cut down the production costs (no additional drilling, no additional pot etc) but maximized the final cost AF.
I am sure that guitars from Thomann for the price of three burgers sound much better and are more versatile in use. But even an earthworm will always find a buyer. The guys are great and have a sense of humor when they themselves laugh at what they have to advertise.
I like it but if I bought one I would put a Railhammer Nuevo 90 so it is probably to expensive to buy for immediate upgrade. in time it would work for me. as I do alter all my guitars
Totally off the subject. I am trying to find out if I order an amplifier from Andertons what electrical plug configuration will it come with? I am in Canada and I want an order a Hiwatt amp from you. Any chance you can respond. Thanks
If you buy an amp from Andertons it’ll come with a 3 pin uk plug for 220-240v mains. Some amps are voltage switchable but you’d need to contact the sales team to find out about Hiwatt
These look good, but I would need a tone knob. Only one pickup isn't an issue to me as someone who owns an Epiphone Old Glory and a Gordon Smith that is a single-pickup guitar, but to milk that one pickup as much as possible, you need a tone knob.
I dont see the point of single pickup guitars, especially not priced from midrange up. If you want to play theough a vridge pickup constantly....well theres a switch for that. They just dont look good, and they sound just like a regular guitar on the bridge
The problem with LTD now is down here these parts they charge almost as much as E2s were a few years back, cant justify spending that much for an LTD. I got LTD SN-1 for a deep discount ~1300 AUD which to me was a reasonable price for an LTD and it is a great guitar but would I pay ~2000+AUD for it? hell no
It's infuriating isn't it, a treble bleed mod costs under a fiver to do and would transform the black guitar. BTW, Samick used to make a lovely single pickup guitar like this.
Really weird this doesn’t have a tone knob. I feel like the 2 knobs make the single pickup way more versatile. I mean I guess having a volume knob with push pull is nice but still. Also, the vintage burst on the website looks way better on the website than the video. On the website it has a reddish-brown hue that makes the back and edges of the top have more visible grain. If I were to get this guitar i wouldn’t be too happy with the almost tobacco burst look in the video. They sound immense though.
I don’t understand tone knobs. I always disable them, and remove them from the circuit all together. Theres never a time where i would use them. And plenty of times i would accidentally bump them and wonder where my high end went
@ I heavily use the tone knobs, but then again capacitors are essentially meaningless if you leave the knob at 10 or 0. I think it’s worth messing around with if you have guitars that have quality capacitors. But you may want higher resistance pots if you are worried about the high end being cut off with small turns cutting off treble.
@ i have one of my gibsons set up with push pulls where the (huge orange drop) caps are not in circuit unless i pull the knobs out. I just never pull them out. So after that I just started using volumes only. If i want to change my tone I’ll do it on the amp or pedals
@ totally hear that. I use a simple 2 channel amp with a master and channel volume. So the tone and volume knobs offer a lot of immediate tweaking to easily manage that break up crunch sound or smooth cleans without touching the amp. This isn’t extremely useful for overdrive or distortion though. In which case, I’ll use the pedal and amp EQ to get in the ballpark.
The Custom 14 is not an SH-14. It's it's own animal made for ESP. It's a triple ceramic - like a more versatile combo of a standard Custom and a Black Winter. This is a metal capable jr style EC.
Mm. Love a bit of gentleman's relish on toast. Needs good butter too. I like those guitars too, but I couldn't eat a whole one! I think Lee is onto something with the slightly niche-y pricing too. They carefully avoid being compared with anything else directly. If you want one, you'll probably get one, and it won't be a VFM thing.
“I’m gonna be questioned when I get home” had me literally lol
I haven't laughed so hard to an Andertons video lol
@ Same. I’m driving down the road and it took me a second to register how funny that was 🤣

this is the most wonderfully unhinged start to a video in a while :P
Hey, love hearing you two play.Tell Pete he looks like a mini Kent Clark with them specs on, just kidding him!
That's a very surprising sound out of that bridge pickup! Sounds very full and warmer than I would expect. I wasn't sure about these when they came out originally, because they seemed too simple, but now I'm sold they look and sound killer!
I got one and it's a plug and play go-to for me it sounds great
These guys are the BEST!!! I am soooooo bummed I can't buy from them
Love watching you guys! Nice guitar, looks and sounds real nice. At about one thousand, I think it's a bit too much.

Steve Marriotts Les Paul Junior, the only single pick-up guitar I've ever strummed, and that was over 50 years ago!

Man if it had a P-90 in it!
I was just thinking the same....
Exactly what I was thinking
Just buy one and put it there
These guitars look so great, I surely need to try one before eventualy get one ^^
Love a good single pup guitar.
That burst is fit.
Absolutely love the EC-01 burst! Are you going to give it away?
Dad rock blues on single humbucker LTD designed for metal is pretty funny. This is the silliness that keeps me coming back to Anderton’s TV.
Lol captain was in a mood lol..., I enemded up buying the vintage burst I love that seymore duncan custom 14 pickup it's a metal guitar
I really like this axe . It looks awesome in white IMO. Very good review and hilarious!!
I was thinking about getting an Eastman SB55/v, but after seeing this…I will definitely get an Eastman. 😂

I think they need a tone and a splitter.
Really agree. I have an SG Junior which is an amazing guitar, so many different sounds from it - balls to the floor rocking, to really mellow - but the tone control is crucial to its versatility.
Router
It comes with push-pull splitter. And you can easily mod a volume/tone knob.
@Conspiranicc a single concentric stack volume/tone control knob would be nifty 🤷♂️
The pricing right now seems reasonable but I'll wait for a deal and consider it, the "mahogany" body tone has me sold.

Surprised to see Alan Carr joining you on the show today. Didn’t realise he could play.
Ahh, the Jatoba’s Witness joke. Go watch the Ibanez SR500 bass range video, if you want to hear that joke in its heyday.
Drop C that thang, full volume, into a 5150, no pissing around
Eclipse junior
Also, SS frets on the more expensive one.
I'd best try some potent fish paste then because I bloody love single pickup guitars, I have several and want more 😅
As soon as I saw the Red one when it was released, I thought it was a bit juicy.
ESP LTD The BEST necks on the market.
Incredible value for the money.

LTD 1000 series are fantastic guitars.I have 2 and desire to get more.
I’ve got two ec-1000 and four Gibson studios. The Gibson’s are a step up, but I really like the LTD also.
Need a double cut 🙂
With the coil split /tap I fail to see why they haven't thrown a tone knob for more tone versatility like the Juniors. Good stuff, guys!
Just tell here Pete ate more sardines than usual.
Pete looking a lot like Mark Hoppus!
Your favorite guitar player's favorite guitar player is Lee Anderton
Why no tone knob? It’s nice to cut the bite off the bridge a bit.
It looks like they did everything they could to cut down the production costs (no additional drilling, no additional pot etc) but maximized the final cost AF.
I guess so huh…
FYI listing says locking tuners on both...
These don’t even have a Floyd Rose and they’re still tempting my GAS
Nice guitars, but the O1 variant is the same price as a Gibson LP here in Australia.
Where is the GAIN?!
Did you really demo these guitars with nothing more than Fender clean?!
These are ROCK machines…
Why don’t more UK stores stock a wider range of ESP products?
Use a graphic equalizer pedal if there is no tone control.
Seymour Duncan makes the SH-14 “Custom 5”, is it not that pickup?
You know, I'm starting to think that Pete guy practices between videos
The prices for the different colours are weird. Luckily, though, my favourite one is the cheapest!
Hmmmm, I love my Epi Coronet. But that has a tone knob.
I am sure that guitars from Thomann for the price of three burgers sound much better and are more versatile in use. But even an earthworm will always find a buyer. The guys are great and have a sense of humor when they themselves laugh at what they have to advertise.

Where’s my Red Noventa Telecaster?🤣👍🏿
Why r u guys doing my guitar 😂
I want to tune the EC-01 to Open G and rock some Keith Richards!
Pete looks like Keir Starmer : )
I doubt Pete is Evil on the Inside or devoted to The Globalist Human Enslavement Agenda like ol' Keir is though.
Pete has a Soul. Keir does not.
I like it but if I bought one I would put a Railhammer Nuevo 90 so it is probably to expensive to buy for immediate upgrade. in time it would work for me. as I do alter all my guitars
It isn’t truly like a one pickup one volume knob guitar, it has a coil split which is more versatile.
Love the guitar but at that price I'll pass all day every day and go for something else.
Needs a tone knob to really bring a single pickup guitar to life!
Subscribed for years, Tumnus?

Nice but expensive
