For those of us with a pulse, and the music that elevates it - I present some choice instruments from ESP's
new 2012 lineup:

I really dig that "Reindeer Blue" color...
 
I like that double cut model also. I've never paid much attention to ESP before but recently got an EC-1000 MGO (Duncan pups). It is fantastic...
 
digging the Eclipse II; always have liked ESP guitars. Have the LTD Okkultist model (only artist signature guitar I have brought myself to buy- though I was tempted to get the Schuldiner Tribute from BC Rich out of principle) and it stays one of my top three even rating it against my Dean V, my Gibson US, or any of my BC Rich guitars.
 
Just about every other brand there's at least one model I love. With ESP every model seems nice but none ever stand out.
 
So, carved top Superstrats and Les Pauls. Oh, and a Les Paul Doublecut. Not sure why I was expecting them to bring anything new to the table, but I still can't help but feel a little disappointed.
 
I like the new finishes, especially that Black Aqua one. I like the double cut too, but I almost don't really like the over-ornamented guitars with tons of binding and crazy inlays.
 
Nice. I've always liked ESP guitars, but if I'm in the market for a Superstrat with EMGs, I think I'd pick up one of the new Charvels instead.

I've seen the Blue Smear dye on a Desolation DS-1 (the Charvel version of the LP) and really liked it.
