This has probably come up before but can anyone tell me the pickups that Jepser and Bjorn use? Am I correct in assuming that Bjorn plays an ESP Eclipse as his main guitar? Any help appreciated!
true!LordHypnos said:I beleive the neck pickup in jespers voodoo V is stock, and the bridge is an esp 81...at least it was that way in the trigger video.
The LTD's were cheap imported from the U.S before ESP stopped it. Still, they are pretty good value for what you are getting.IcedFlames said:ESPs = expensive :-(
Sorry, you're right of course, i mixed it up...Zero888 said:@headcrusher: the Eclipse is a les paul and the viper is the sg. and ive played both esp and gibson models, and i prefer the esps over the gibsons any day. as for the soloist, that and every other guitar on the market are just a cop off of the strat.
Jackson has alsol copied all previous existing guitars, the only difference is jackson makes the guitars with more curves and sharper points

So why are the Esps better?
As for the Jackson - Strat - Rippoff thing: ok, there were these two guitars (les paul, strat) in the beginning. nevertheless I wouldn't say that the others are rippoffs. The Jacksons are Superstrats with a floyd rose, at least one humbucker and so on. So I'd say the improved the strat a lot!
For a JTR sound you'll need a Gibson Explorer (which Jesper played around that time) and I think a Marshall Amp. No idea which one he used exactly. Nowadays Björn and Jesper play Peavy 5150 Heads through 2 Marshall 4x12 cabs.Bludgeon said:I am planning to purchase a ESP guitar in a few months time, and would like to try and emulate the same sound as Jesper (think "Jesters Race" type of sound).
However i would like some help in deciding on what guitar to buy and what amp to purchase, keeping in mind that i dont want to spend over $900 on a guitar and about $400 on a amp.
I am ordering from this store, so my choices are a bit limited, but its better than nothing.
Thanks in advance guys.
