I guess if I were into that style of guitar they wouldnt be that bad... Then i saw the pricing on those bad boys, no thank you - im sure i can find something more classical and wont impale me for that much.

I looked at the price and almost spilled my drink. THESE ARE METAL GUITARS, FROM BLACK METAL TO POWER METAL. AND REMEMBER, NOTHING EVEN COMES CLOSE. Damn right, nothing comes close to being as much of a rip-off, with shitty looking guitars. What the hell is that guy playing too? That wasn't a good demonstration to play.

"The Dawn of a New Age of Guitars" it says. I think I just saw one of those guitars in a Pig Destroyer video an hour ago. It was hideous an hour ago and it still is.

I'm playing guitar. MTV Headbanger's Ball is on simultaneously so I can catch the occasional Exodus, Kreator, Deicide, etc... video. I'm cruising the internet at the same time. Multitasking, the wave of the future...
Besides, watching all the shitty videos can teach you many of life's important lessons in what not to do if your band gets signed... (Playing an ES guitar being one of those things not to do.)
(It's also fun to improvise your own solos over all the crappy songs...)

i think the only guitar on that site that looks half way decent is the JC-3, and i am a fan of crazy styled bodies. all the others...well... they are just kind of cheesy.

I wanted to address many of the comments made here about ES Guitars.
I can understand if you do not like the designs, it’s freedom of choice…have any of you played or seen the guitar? In most forums people just like to post negative comments. If you do not like wild designs then real you should not comment and keep playing your Fender or Gibson wannabe guitars. If you are into different design and still do not like it that’s another thing. Go ahead keep supporting BC Rich and Jackson that are really big MTV style corporations out to flood the market with outdated looking guitars.
As far as cost go, these are hand made guitars! Not your GUITAR CENTER $300 Made in Korea Guitar. Rather than making the CEO of Fender or CEO of Ibanez rich you should support people try to expand the look of guitars. Every year guitar companies put out the same guitars over and over again. It’s like a car company putting out the same old design over and over. Do you know how much work is involved in making a guitar, check out other companies that make bolt on guitars, they are not cheap.
Regarding the bolt on design, this is another topic in itself. I will say that the majority of artist play bolt on guitars.
In the guitar world innovation (aside from a few exceptions) is not promoted. If someone tries to make a guitar look different it usually fails because guitarist always go back to the same Gibson or Fender inspired designs. Guitars are a form of expression, does you guitar stand out or is it mass produced? Save some money and buy yourselves a custom made guitar, you’ll see and feel the difference. Think outside the box and don’t let MTV dictate what is cool.
Anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is mine.

Yeah I agree with most of that. The guitars dont really look too amazing. I wouldnt pay $1500 for a guitar like that.. I would like to support small guitar companies such as this one.. I dont really know where I'm going with this..
