rct Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Nice! I've run into a few of them in my life, and along with the Schecter PT, the only not Leo Teles I would even consider. Play it long time in good health! rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 ... the only not Leo Teles I would even consider. I've had the exact same thought when I've seen these ESP's myself. Very nice Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHTom Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 The more I play this, the more I like it. Not a hard rock or metal guitar, but that's no it's intent. Between the pickup combination and the fact that it responds very well to the volume knob, it's got a great range of tones in it. From harder "outlaw" country to blues/southern rock, this thing is a dream. Got the tele twang in the bridge, a nice blues/rock chunk in the middle, and creamy smooth lead in the neck. I grew up with the "shred" ESP's in the eighties and they were great guitars, but I still can't get over the build quality of this thing......as solid as they come. Yes, I bit heavy in the tele world, but I'd rather have it that way than wimpy. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampash Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Lovely looking Guitar and a very interesting case. Kind of looks like the cases you would have got with the original Broadcaster back in 1950. Is it a standard ESP case or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Not at all an original case. They made it clear when I bought it that it had a case, but not anything great. I will probably add an original case at some point, but for now, this one does ok. When the time comes, it will get shuffled to my last remaining guitar in a bag, so I don't mind.

Pesh Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Only think of an LS when I think of Ron, ah well. Looks great - HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Oh yeah, he was on ESP for about five minutes in between jumping from palm tree to palm tree with Keith, wasn't he? Looks great. Happy playing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Nice. I don't think of Ron Wood when I think Teles. Keef yes, but Ron no. Nice I currently have to Tele. Wow, i didnt even know esp made teles, love the use of a humbucker neck position, turns the tele into a real workhorse. Very nice! id love to play one someday. Only think of an LS when I think of Ron, ah well. Looks great - HNGD! ESP been in the Fender high end copy business for a long, long time. Ronnie been with ESP for a long, long time too. Ronnie is kinda a guitar ****. He ain't never been tied down to one type. There is that Zamiatis he got he is known for, but THAT association is even a bit exaggerated because he is really the only one that played it regular, and it's such a COOL guitar. But really, he will play a Special, a Strat, he has and does play lots of different stuff. There really is no one "Ronnie Wood" guitar. It's NO surprise he also plays a copy of his glimmer twin's guitar, as he often plays his guitar parts too, on any given night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
