the phoenix shape is finally back, I loved the previous Phoenix 1000 with the different pick guard from this one but could not buy one, hope it is on production when I get the money
I started off not liking ESP, but the way they are really taking over the metal industry along with better quality Gibson like instruments, they have my vote.
@@rickb.341 no Ltd guitars are very well made, I have two Japanese ESP's and one Ltd and the Ltd is one of my favourite guitars, the manufacturing over the past few years has improved so much that the lower priced guitars are on par with high end guitars from 10-15 years ago. I also have an Edwards which are only sold on the Japanese market, they are mid range ESPs for Japan consumers and that guitar is really top notch as well. All the ESP family of guitars are very well made.
@@scootertb26 ok just checking because I am looking to buy an ltd over a fender.. and I am more interested in quality.. and you said they are good so that helps.
I'm not an ESP / LTD fan, owned a couple of EX models many years ago, played friends M series and just never gelled with them. BUT the new Phoenix models look absolutely killer!
Great video, I suggest you get a camera that picks up 60 fps, the details blurr with 30fps forcing people to stop the video. Overall great camera work and what a booth.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion! Our camera actually does 60fps, but we don't shoot in 60fps because of the increased file size of all the media (which is why we also haven't stepped up to 4K yet either). Larger files, more camera storage media, longer transfers, more powerful editing machines, more computer storage media, longer render times, longer upload times, etc. It seems that, especially with NAMM news, what's most important is getting content filmed, edited and uploaded quickly. Doubling the frame rate and therefore doubling the storage needed and render time and upload time would slow down the speed at which we can get these out. So we would have to take a close look at what's more important - quality or timeliness.
3:35 Hm, what does a 20db boost on a metal(!) guitar have to do with how good people can hear your solo? A boost into a gain channel only introduces more gain, noise and mud, but does not raise the volume. Jackson did the same thing on their MG series and it was useless. It would make more sense in Jazz or Blues, where you plug into a clean channel, because that way a boost CAN increase volume, depending on your pedal setup.
Really want an evertune guitar but have only seen one in stock at the Edmonton stores and the one they did have to check out had a massive crack going down the back of the body from the evertune routed hole..... L&M are to focused on selling vintage guitars and gear I haven't even been able to find a 10 to 60 string set but they have 300 packs of 10 to 46.
Hey ESP please reply ASAP, why have you kicked out EMG collaboration......? Just because they are old now or just because they haven't produced any thing new?
Jeremy Conner I was disappointed too. Was hoping they would have some killer E-ll Horizons. They really gave all the love to the LTD line unfortunately
a year ago when they first came out they started at 749. after a few months they went up to 799. now they are going for 849. I really wish the new 7 string reverse m-metal had 2 humbuckers. I would get one. But maybe a single Humbucker one would suffice
The price is on the tags but cannot make it out as its too small. On ebay there are listing for 950US/850Euro. The original LTD M-Black metal are listed €739 at the moment like Za Z said. I would say it is worth the increase of price if they came with gigbag/case but from what I see in the listings they don't.
ESP coverage from a store that literally never stocks anything in-store from ESP or LTD lmfao. I wanna try out some of these models, not a million different finish variations of Fenders and Gibsons. Those companies are great but there's plenty of fish in the sea!
ESP and LTD are not carried by all of our stores across Canada, only select stores. However, all ESP and LTD are available for order from any of our stores.
Agreed, most guitars at L&M are Gibson/Fender but I just scored a used LTD from L&M, a bit more selection at the L&M store near me would be great but I think most people like 50 year old designs with overpriced reissues. I sold my Gibson and got an ESP Eclipse.
Long & McQuade Musical Instruments What’s the use if I can’t try before I buy? I understand a store can’t stock every model of guitar but when you have a ratio of 10 Gibson’s/Fenders to 1 of any other brand it just gets annoying as all hell. If I wanted to order online there are multiple sites with better pricing and service. The reason I want to buy from L&M is because I can actually go to a location and try a guitar before I buy. Hope in the future your stores start to offer more variation, but at the end of the day, I get that the big brands probably sell better than ESP’s just because of general brand recognition.
Because it's referring to the genre that most guitarists who would be interested in those model guitars are tyically playing. We don't imagine a lot of bluegrass players are going to be interested in these guitars.
I've had my LTD 2020 see-through Cherry for a week now. And the bridge being black it is already down to the silver. What did they use spray paint on these things. PATHETIC!
It's nice to see somebody that KNOWS their product!.....Great job ESP
wow ESP is killing it with the LTD's this year.
uh huh, where's the LH love?
I got a couple LTD models an they play and sound great, nice vid, thanks for posting this
Absolutely love the 80’s series!!
wow these new models are awesome..solid back to basics..
Those EC1000's look sick!

im getting the ec 1000 blue nat fade in a month wow im excited it looks and sounds great
Phoenix and black purple that's Kick-Ass.
The finish is sublime,lookout Gibson.
ESP make the best guitars, not just looks but also
the quality
esp or ltd? or both? whats the best quality guitars out there?
@@rickb.341 huh??? Esp make Esp and Ltd, what is your point?
@@scootertb26 but is ltd's actually good quality... or do they break down quick in comparison

Wow blue fade 😍😍😍😍

Maybe you’re a EC type guy all the shapes of course have their own feel going on
ESP is killing it

I want last years Vitage Black Ec-1000, they have EMGs. I see L & M still have some. See you guys soon.
Shit!! I really want one!!!
Matte black guitars are a fingerprint super magnet
wow I likey likey likey like!!!!
FINALLY.... Stainless Steel frets.... It's been long overdue, you couldve done this 3 years ago
Hey ESP please reply ASAP, why have you kicked out EMG collaboration......? Just because they are old now or just because they haven't produced any thing new?
Does the ltd m1007ht will be sold at L&M Canada?
I want one 😭
stainless frets on all models next year?
So what models are going to be left handed?
No new E-IIs?
@Jeremy Conner where can I see the new models?
Jeremy Conner I was disappointed too. Was hoping they would have some killer E-ll Horizons. They really gave all the love to the LTD line unfortunately
@@GlobalTossPot Yeah, I wound up just buying a used E-II Horizon I didn't already have. I would have loved something fresh though.
Shredtastic.
É muito difícil guitarra como essas aqui no Brasil principalmente onde moro por isso fico só sonhando
I wonder how many of these came out of cort guitar factories ! Since they also produce for esp ltd
I think he means 35th anniversary not 45th
How much are the black metal m1 guitars selling for?
a year ago when they first came out they started at 749. after a few months they went up to 799. now they are going for 849. I really wish the new 7 string reverse m-metal had 2 humbuckers. I would get one. But maybe a single Humbucker one would suffice

@@allofyourdreams They initially always cost more before the street price 'settles'
8:58 was he about to say Gibson? 😂😂😂
I was about to comment this lmfao
Yee
Ok....
So where is the Japanese made guitars?
US made ESP doesn't really attract me.
We only focus on models that are new for NAMM.
Nobody knows who you are and nobody cares about your opinion
One pickup though?
9:24!!!!!!! I want!!!!!
Eu quero uma ESP branca.

Sorry, Tony didn't show us any basses during our time in the booth.

blue natural is so ...... 7:10"
Zenga jesu lijepe gitare ja bi onu plavu odabrala😊
sp many lefties i didnt know which one to buy.............
I love feeling my wood ☺
7:07
I wish.
"Black Metal" series?! I mean, they look nice, but that's such a trendy name for it. Why not just "Black"?!
Because it's referring to the genre that most guitarists who would be interested in those model guitars are tyically playing. We don't imagine a lot of bluegrass players are going to be interested in these guitars.
Well guitar folks just love a cliche.
WHERE ARE THE VITO BRATTA MODELS
Nice black metal guitars but not 1000 dollar nice !
Goodbye fender
All they care about is LTD
Esp are great for players who don't need to be in tune or play anything other than an open E string
I've had my LTD 2020 see-through Cherry for a week now. And the bridge being black it is already down to the silver. What did they use spray paint on these things. PATHETIC!
Sorry to hear about this. Did you purchase your guitar at Long & McQuade?
Ok im splitting after that intro, just as drab & cheesy as their guitar lineup! Seems they just try & follow trends set by other brands & do it badly!
Good , see ya!
