What exactly is ESP?
Is it it's own brand?
Like in the One Life PV, manabe's sunburst strat has ESP on the head.
What does this mean and wheree can I find one?

Thanks.

ESP's are sold in America if you look in a guitar store it should have some. There are probably more models in Japan. It's its own brand. I forget what it stands for.

[quote="Culen"]"ESP": Guitars with this designation actually appear in the PV as Electric Sound Products' legal duplicate. [/quote]

i like jomei's better though

Yeah I had previously read that but didn't understand, what does it mean?

ESP is a large manufacturer of electric guitars and basses. Since many of their models and brands are direct copy of Fender and Gibson guitars, it's mostly only the metal guitars that make it overseas. With the exception of the Seymour Duncan branded guitars Manabe used to use between
'97-'00, it appears the specific guitars the band used are out of production. Try checking Japanese auction sites and online places that sell used stuff (like Ishibashi). Fender Japan guitars are probably the same, if not better, quality, so I would just buy one of those instead. Used Tokais from the eighties are the best Japanese-made Fender copies, and Tokai actually makes the Fender Japan line. New Tokai guitars, specifically the Gibson copies, are considered by many to have build quality and materials that supercede Gibsons costing twice as much. I'm probably going to buy a Tokai ES-335 style for my next guitar.
