For those of you mild mannered folks who are baflled by my rants I have to say that I do realise that I come out as a very opinionated and rather obnoxious fellow in some of my posts.
In fact sometimes I'd look back at something I wrote and go Whoa *doing my best Keanu Reeves impression*, that dude needs to take a chill pill.
I really don't mean it and in a face to face convo that will be quite apparent but not so much when you type stuff.
I don't have the writer's eloquence that allows some people to be mean without actually sounding mean, I'm more of a "sound 3 times meaner than I ment to" type of writer.
Anyway the UK distributer of ESP only talks to shops and the shops are so clueles, I can't even begin to tell you.
Also due to the fact that copyright is a differen concept in Japan ESP can actually copy any guitar as long as they don't export the final product.
The thing is I can get an ESP Custom with 4-8 months wait depending on what I ask for but the ESP MII OX I want is a standard yet somehow it's not on the list of guitars available to UK dealers which puts it into a j-custom like teritory.
So to sum up the guitar I want is not available in the UK and even though I found shops in Australia, Korea and China that stock some ESP standards I have had no luck finding one that actually has the guitar in the link above.
Also I was thinking if I'm going to import an ESP from the other side of the world (quite literally) might as well go for the country of production.
Some of the ESP
custom shop creations for your pleasure..... obviously these are the guitars that take 8 months to complete and I was quoted.........are you sitting down??........
£22,000 for the armor guitar.

Thank you and good night.
