Roope's guitar for sale... isn't it a bit too overpriced?

[P4T0U]

Here's Roope's custom shop artist model: http://www.bmusic.com.au/prod4110.htm

It looks like roope's guitar except the pickups but isn't 6000$ a little overpriced for it?
(don't forget to click on the "international prices" tab)

 

[the phenom]

Its in AUD and usually Custom shop ESPs are fuckin expensive. Why create a thread for this?

 

[P4T0U]

Where can I post it then? I talked about it in the Roope's pickups thread and I got a bit flamed in it.

 

[Rock Hydra]

Yeah, not only that, they cutaway hinders access to the upper frets.

 

[Dunununuuu-NUNUNU]

it's because it's custom. If you'd want a custom shop, why would you choose THAT guitar?

 

[inhe]

I think it's awesome. If i'd ever be in the mood for a one pickup metal guitar, this is what i'd look for.

 

[Rock Hydra]

Sarcasm?


Even with the upper frets uncomfortably accessible?
Though the shape is killer.

 

[inhe]

If i would buy a one pickup metal guitar i would probably not use the higher frets that much, but that's just me!

 

[Rock Hydra]

Gotcha, gotcha. I play my guitar more with the feel in my fingers than actually looking (I almost totally zone out, like an out of body experience type of thing) so having the body in my way would fuck my world up.

 

[P4T0U]

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

 

[Necrö]

the Alexi customs have a WAY worse access to the higher frets than this one!

 

[SteveMCsteve]

I don;t think its overpriced

and its aus dollars so

 

[P4T0U]

yeah it's in AUS but not in international prices.

I think it's cool to, although If I was going for that shape I'd rather have Gus G custom.

 

[Draznog]

its like $3000US and if you are going to get a ESP Custom or Sig get it from shane he is the man (Shane owns Bmusic Australia).

It so funny that every one seems to know about the fret access but i doubt that anyone of them has ever played this guitar.
So don't talk shit about this guitar till you have played it!

erm....no. The white one has better though....or so ive seen.

Because its the guitar someone wants? Why order a CS when you can already get one you want?

yes, for the white guitar they kinda shifted the position of the bridge or something. Roope explains it on the DVD.

Yeah that one has 10 times better acess it seems. The whole neck and bridge is like moved upwards so the cutout won't get in the way. That one i believe has better fret acess than alexi's RVs
