e-me for JPGS

Coming from a certified Tele Custom freak, these are really nice ones.

Can't say I'm able at the moment to pick up a new toy, but I'd be interested in seeing pics on the chance I could be tempted...

I have an 80's ESP Tele w/Floyd, but it was called a "Horizon" for whatever reason. Go figure.

Interesting, I thought they were called Eclipses???

Cause that's what they were called until the ESP LP style singlecuts were called Eclipses, then the "original" Eclipses disappear from the scene...

Yeah, mine is a strange bird. I was told it was a "Japan market only" model. But who knows?

I reckon it was strictly for the Japanese market, I don't know whether anyone outside Japan today can order one, I quite doubt that happening...

Way to go JT. I was close but just couldn't do the blue. Give us the usual report, please.

As far as a tone report I have no reference when it comes to Tele's. But wow it sure is articulate compared to all my other guitars. It's a little nosiy with high-gain but wow it rocks on my lower gain Halo channel on my peters and really livens up my darker Matamp.

I'm ususally a bridge player as necks are usually too muddy or it's my crappy hearing. But on this one it has some weird cool vibe going. The middle sounds cool and the bridge is twangy. I like the overall sound but the maple neck is completely different than I'm used too also the neck is rather big.

I'm going to bang on it some more until I either bond with it or it's gone!

It's sold already??? ;)
