Title: Limited edition V GAS
Post by: JDC on February 05, 2009, 12:12:55 AM: I really hate that companies make limited editions, because right now I really want one of these, but I gotta save my money for other things, damn you Mr Ibanez!!! neck thru for £500 with a hardcase, how is that possible?

someone buy me one!

Oh aye, those are horrific. I'm talking of older vids with his ESPs here, though even they really aren't my normal taste at all.

Looking at the two, I much prefer the proportions of the Ibanez. The ESP looks squat and stumpy in comparison..

I do rather like his old esp, Andy Sneap helped design it, I'm more of a rhoads V person but I wouldn't say no to one

Because they are made from Jam! (having an Eddie Izzard moment)

Looks too minimalist to me though; I'd be all over it if it had a scratchplate.
