Title: Are these new?
Post by: indysmith on August 01, 2007, 09:38:41 PM

LTD PB 500
I've never seen these before; LOVE the body shape - it looks so elegant and 'traditional', but it's cool because it's actually very fresh.

Lately I've been kind of planning out my custom Feline, which is destined to happen some day, and i reckon I'll have this shaped body...

The body shape has been available as the ESP Potbelly for a while:

Didn't know they had an LTD version though.

The Potbelly series has been available in Japan as a standard ESP model for quite a few years now, but the Ltd PB has only recently surfaced. They don't really do it for me; the shape looks a bit "generic PRS-deriviative" to my eyes. I bet I'd change my tune if they made a black one with block inlays and gold hardware though. "Black Beauty" cosmetics always look good on any guitar.

Edit: not that lazy, are you, LazyNinja? Beat me to it anyway. :D
