Yeah saw those he has some very sexy guitars in his series, fell in love with the tele when he first started using it and the 337 and 338 look pretty the same as the last series which is fine because they look awesome gotta love those in-line headstock's.
I've wanted that 7 string tele for fucking ever! Guess I gotta start saving.

I don't believe so. Just a display at the ESP spot from the pics I've seen.
Well he's been using those guitars for a while, but I think these are newer versions of them... (edit: I guess the Tele has never been for sale before and now it is)
And from what I could gather, he was scheduled to be there in person... I think he goes to these things every year...
I think i saw on ESP's facebook page that he was doing a signing on the third day
Yeah I was wrong. He was totally there today.
dam i fucked up and didnt go today. i only went thurs...
Do you have to be invited to go? How does that work? I thought it wasn't open to general public...
it is not open to the public. You need to be associated somehow in the music business to able to go. I was able to go because my friends dad owns a music store and had some available passes.
Right on. I think hopefully by next year I'll graduate from music production school and be "in the industry". Would love to go to NAMM...

I hope they are not getting rid of the 607 and 608 cause these new ones at 25.5 won't play nearly as well

I think the teles are the replacements for those higher end models not sure though but I don't think the 337 and 338 and equivalent to the 207 and 208 Esp are mixing up their range and I've heard they are dropping alot of their lower end models and replacing them with the LTD Elite range something to do with the factory who makes the customs complaining about the cheaper ltd models clogging up production of the expensive customs.

Absolutely love the tele.. thats the one he uses to play WP songs live .. i always loved it when i would see him pull out the 7 string tele and start playing knife party or passenger ... i need that tele.. so beautiful <3
I got to play his cheap SC607 model at guitar center yesterday finally... They only started carrying ESP for a few years now and that was the first time I had seen a SC model there... Sounded good actually... Would be tight if they carried the more expensive version with the neck-through... Not that I can afford it, but if I had a choice I would go with that model. I'm like Stef, I don't like bolt-on necks... It's a different animal when it's just one piece of guitar meat.

get the LTD
New guitars still cost more than im willing to spend on them.
These new LTD Elite guitars ruin the point of the LTD range they're too expensive now, in NZ that LTD will end up being 2-3K it's just not worth it.
I have a feeling I'm going to own that guitar sooner than later...
HOLY SHIT is that guitar niiiiice. Did they showcase an 8 string version or just the 7?

No the tele's are only in 7 string his 8 string still looks the same as his last one, it's probably a good thing though I've seen a custom 8 string version his 7 string tele and it looked all out of proportion.
