I think that is ok. i don't like the control layout but I can't think of one that would look better while grouping the dials with the toggle.

I prefer the normal look with controls in a straight line.

Not much to object to though, that's a decent looking guitar.

Is there a V and/or SG version?

It doesn't appear that there is. The straight line is what i was referring to with the ESP but they replace one of the volumes with the toggle

they'll be there when they put ebony on more of their models, update the ridiculous dots and star slapping 24 frets on their metal models.. AND friggin start extending the sale lenghts on their 7 string models... and move the 7th tuner peg on the V in a less retarded position..
they haven't really done anything here, that more reasonable companies havent done 30 years ago..

Not much of a metal head anymore but I really want one of those Epiphones.

I better get started relearning some old Hetfield riffs.

i think the last new Gibson line that had me really interested was the Les Paul Studio Gem series. I'd still love one.

The guy from Hypocrisy, Peter Tärgrgttgrgr.... whatever his name is, has a beautiful black ESP Explorer, just like the one from Hetfield.

You can find videos with him using it on Youtube. He has a black one and one with a black diamond plate.

A mate has the black treadplate ESP Explorer. Very cool, even though I didn't like how it felt to play.
