Green Guitar

obviously the esp is based on the jackson and the jackson is the real rhoads if i could say that way, but esp created a very cool guitar, in my opinion they improved the look of it, so much cooler than the jackson. jackson is amazing though

i think alexi looks much more him with an esp than a jackson, its his signature guitar i dont know

imo thats a statement made with the alexi off the last albums in mind, alexi imo looks more him with the J2SP jackson star.

it has been said before and its true; alexi now is just a ghost of the virtuoso he once was

The ESP's are much uglier than those Jacksons, but it goes together with the change COB had in their music at the same time. Imagine if Alexi came back with his wild child jackson guitar, blonde hair, rediscovered great vocals, and started writing music like in the past. Now we have an American'ish Alexi with an ugly black-orange ESP with CKY scratched onto the guitar and the music is atmosphereless and epicless. However, there is hope for better, this new guitar is a step in right direction and I really hope they might actually make an interesting album this time.
 
need to be this nerd now sorry.

alexi didnt had J2SP jackson stars, it was an Jackson USA Custom shop's and the ESP was black Yellow with the CKY scratched into it.
But moving on from how alexi looks with his guitar doesnt effect how his music sounds. he is an Wondefull artist, they write wonderfull awesome music and they just Rock, blast, kickass whatever.

Every album they write has its unique sound to it. something they live for (the unique that they live for) they do there work at there best and have fun in doing what they do best ! thats what you can hear in there music. We love there music we love what they do that makes us fans. So be it !, its alexi's style to keep playing with ESP's he likes them, he has input on his custom shop's at ESP's

Edit: i want to Add again, the form of his instruments Doesnt make any sence or input in what music he makes,
 
You're right. A green pinstriped guitar is definitely a hint for a new green album. The colour and brand of a guitar definitely affects the guitarists choice of songwriting.
 
well this all sound great and has confirmed and informed me :-D but can anybody confirm or deny if they will be on sale to the public?
 
No they're not going to sell it to the public because they don't want any Alexi poseurs even tho it would sell millions...

Of course they're gonna sell it.
 
I thought as much and I really do hope so but I read earlier in the post that there not putting it on the market is all, oh well fingers crossed. :)
 
That was me who said it won't be sold to the public. The Japan dealer I bought my pink sawtooth told me they are NOT selling it to the public. I seriously doubt that though. ESP/LTD/Edwards make a substantial amount of $$ from Alexis guitars. So I'm sure in at least 6 months it will be on the market. I must admit I do like it a lot. Does remind me of his old Jackson green pin stripe. I'm sure the Edwards version will be like $2250. Can anyone please translate that link where it shows alexi with the new guitar.
 
Some (crappy) screenshots of the new guitar from tonight's show in Bangalore

I really hope that the skull is a sticker cus that looks horribly tacky. Apart from that not much to be seen - looks like one of his old guitars.
Hoping for some better pictures where you can actually see the colors :D
