Richie Signs with ESP
 

Awesome!

altho there's no chance a Sambora ESP Siggy guitar could ever be as good as the Krammer Jersey Star i have when ya talkin Richie guitars...its a thing of beuty!

Damn they gave it normal tuners :(

I wanted a speedloader...

cool!! Didn't Richie sign with Gibson in 2002??

What guitar did he release with Gibson??

there was one in the pipeline with gibson, i saw a prototype pic aaages ago. It was basic les paul shape but had some nice inlay work etc but nothing ever happened. I have a jersey star myself, amazing guitars! If only he'd sign back with kramer eh?

Yeah I remember reading a blurb about it, and If I'm not mistaken, the guitar Richie's using on the missunderstood video was an early version of the guitar they were working on.
I'm interested in trying out this ESP, I remember I tried that Hetfield model about 2 years ago, man that thing was a beast!!

And wasn't that a variation of what he played in the 80's, 7800 era?

Funnily enough, watching some youtube videos of the recent Tokyo show, Richie is playing something that looks kind of similar to it. Iiiiinteresting.

Edit:
It definetly looks like it. Maybe it's ESP's model now.

I hope its the mixed black & white guitar and not the wood finished one.

I don't like it. Never cared toomuch for ESP. This means we will get less Fender (again), that's never been my wish.
