Most expensive, that'll be the Ani version of this. I had the choice of a new standard one of these or a used MM-270 from japan. I prefer as it's what Kirk intended ie reverse Jackson headstock. I also prefer the skull and crossbones the other way round. Have a guy calls me every six months to a year to see if I want to sell for £6k.
I wonder if it's worth it. I have the LTD and LOVE IT. ALSO have an ESP M1 made in USA...hand crafted. LOVE IT. Would like to see how that compares to this. His name is on it, which adds to the price. Great playing.
I bought this guitar brand new back in 2006 from the states for a total of £1800. i can't believe how expensive they are now, and I also can't believe I sold it in 2010, what a fool haha.
@@JamieSlays hey man! Thanks for checking it out, I love your channel! Nah this isn’t that one, it’s just one of the “standard” esp Japan custom shop reissues. Thanks for checking it out man 🤟
These things invariably end up on the used market in a year or two when the original buyer realises that there's too much cash tied up in it and he / she still doesn't play like whoever's name is on the headstock (or the tribute band they play for moves on to Foo Fighters / RHCP / Taylor Swift). If you must have one then I'd wait...
Well we have to remember that in such examples you are not paying for the instrument itself. You are paying for the time, effort and manpower it takes to recreate the looks of the original. The guitar will play, sound and feel like every other japanese made neckthrough alder/maple horizon with emgs. This is a 2000$ guitar with a 4000$ cosmetic makeover. i mean it's not a bad guitar, you are just not paying for it's performance or material attributes.
Take it another step deeper, and realize you paying all that extra money for...the thoughts in your own head. The illusion you are playing his actual guitar. Which of course you are not. But, there are entire industries based upon humans spending ludicrous amounts of money for fantasies....
i reckon the ESP Ouija sparkle has it covered in regard to cost
This is so sick. Imagine this and a greenie together too 🔥🔥
Yes man! Not sure if the budget will stretch to the greenie 😂 thanks for watching 🤟

So good bro👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome video man
Thanks!
good review man, nice clean playing!
thanks man
Damm dude, you're SICK! 🗣️💯‼️🔥
@@Rahmalho thanks man!
I'm not into relic guitars. Now I would take it brand new without the stickers and dings. I like wearing my own guitars out. Thats just me though.
Fair enough man! Relics aren’t for everyone for sure. Thanks for watching
Who cares if you add more dents?
It does sound like Kirk though when you do the double stops, bends and Phrygian modes 😂 so it's worth five grands for sure 😂
nice tone
cheers man
I had the bolt on.. never really got on with it as the neck was too thin.. wonder if you could get the same guitar with a thicker neck..🧐
I remember seing one in Foxes Music in the Vic Center For A mere£995.99 in the Late 90s times and prices change
Thanks for watching! Yes the prices are crazy in these custom shop reissues
holy sh!t dude that dirty tone! please tell me what gear are you using?
@@demon6394 thanks man! It’s just the KH-2 into my kemper rig. Running a tube screamer into a Marshall style profile
WTF?!?! It didn't come with a wah pedal?

Thanks for watching
song @ 7:30? 🤔
The skull inlays on the 20th anniversary model looked so good! I wish they updated these high end models inlays to them…
What? I can buy 5001 icecreams for that with cones for free.....
@@tymanngruter1808 😂😂😂

5K lmao! you are correct ridiculous price.
I find your lack of wah distrurbing.
@@Andromahlius 😂
@5:09 UPSTROKES!!!! UpSTrOkES!!!!!! What is this crap. 😊
🤣🤣🤣
The biggest turn offs about the ESP guitars for me is the volume knob placement and no option for a top mounted Floyd.
