If you click on the top story and then look at their 2008 new guitars catalogue, it's the black and white one with 'Sambora' on the headstock. Here's the direct link:

It's about a third of the way down. I'd only be interested if its under £600 and they release the white version with the silver/greay pearloid scratchplate.

It looks like shit.

Shouldn't be extortionatly priced though, didnt the original article state that LTD (ESP's sister company) were producing the guitar?
LTD are the 'Epiphone' to ESP's 'Gibson', so theoretically it should still be a top build at a lower price.
Look at the Kirk Hammet sig, the ESP one costs £1799 whilst the ESP LTD version costs £499.
Reckon we'll get two Sambora models?

Yes, it's called the LTD SHA-2.

Personally I think it looks great, although the head looks a bit messy, like I say, a more slender head with a SpeedLoader Floyd would be ideal, and more accurate:

i actually think it'd be nice if the pickgaurd finished up just above the neck and not away in the upper horn.

it takes up way too much space.

btw if they're talking about 500 ish quid for a bolt on neck LTD there's either too many people smoking crack in the esp office or too many idiots with money to burn.
