ESP Guitar Factory Tour - 2018 

LOLOL jazzy weird...

With Japan's workplace culture, you'd probably work long hours building their guitars. Of course nothing wrong with that if you can handle it and you enjoy doing it. Would you?

Heavy breathing...

That's right. That guy is there to order up a batch of the cheap ones.

Real ESPs are the best, not the E-II assembled in Japan with Chinese parts crap.

rob bi Sounds like the one I currently own.

EsP guitars live to the hype, trust me. Whole nother world playing one lol. btw check ebay and reverb a lot, could snag pretty cool models for good prices

It's probably someone involved in the video's band. No other reason to put the garbage on here. It hurt my soul too.

@@BrandonShortSin Alex Skolnick Trio and Animals as Leaders. Pretty sure those bands have nothing to do with this video. Over 30 years of playing stadiums and writing for Guitar World may have kept Skolnick busy and Tosin Abasi, well His playing speaks for itself.

I agree, horrible music.

Strange version of fade to black to say the least.

@@theorncampbell4432 Taylor Swift and Brittany Spears fill stadiums to so that doesn't mean much.

i thought they built the custom shop in the USA?

Right? I was kinda hoping to see the finished product.

It seems to be an Edwards.

Thank you for the feedback. It was my first video, sorry. I created a new, unedited version with no music. Please go check it out.

@@BradleyJohnson13 Great job and thank you.

No. Only ESP Original series and Custom Shop in that place. (Up to 9.44 in the video) then there's another Tokyo factory for E-II. LTD are made in Korea for the 1000-series and the stuff below that are made in Indonesia/China/Vietnam

@@Chris741113 I have two LTD deluxe and one was made in Indonesia and the other in Korea.

@@Chris741113 They make 1000's in Indonesia now too. It says so on the ESP website.www.espguitars.com/forums/1963220/posts/4380156-is-this-an-authentic-ec-1000-what-does-the-serial-say-about-it

Giovanni Balsamo There tons of Edwards guitars on eBay 👊🏻

@@Wargasm644 for us european is quite difficult to trace edwards guitars... ebay or not

ESP Original Series AND the ESP Custom Shop guitars are made at the same place (up to 9.44 in the video) and only in Japan. ESP USA makes series with very limited choices when it comes to specs, and is NOT a Custom Shop. The ESP Custom guitars are all made in Japan, in the Tokyo Custom Shop.

Tucan Samwell k thanks

You can see them on the Japanese website.

GUITARSSful these are ESP Japan models

It's a custom shop model. You won't see it in any store.

YES !

If you want real guitars avoid aliexpress at all costs.

No don’t buy a guitar on Aliexpress and expect anything not counterfeit. Aliexpress might be good for in ear monitors and maybe some accessories but not any major music gear.

Yeah, then go to DHGATE and get you a real Gibson 😂

Please forgive the delayed response. This is Francesco Fareri - First Breath

Bradley Johnson TANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!!!

Javier uses LTDs

Cogan .C I believe I have the answer to that. Let me know if you wish for me to explain.

Honestly, I would really like to hear your explanation. @@blessed7fold

​@@kogpressor The only official video they have ever made of a factory tour was right here on their website and it was only of their USA Custom Shop: www.espguitars.com/videos/2029936 I think they have dodged it because their isn't much difference in the way they build guitars in Japan from the way they build them in the US. In fact I am convinced that they dropped the ESP name from the standard series and changed it to E-II because it was taking away sales from their USA models. So they are now charging a $5000 premium to get the ESP name on the headstock and there is no such difference in quality to justify it. Here is a video of a guy that has all of the different model ESP's and he explains what all the differences are: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0zHYT1jaVvo.html

@@blessed7fold That's a sound theory, and I think a great answer blessed! it does make sense, but I still want to see a good walk-through of the Kiso, Sado, or the Takeda factories. ESP USA did a vid of their manufacturing plant, I just think we could use one for their Japanese facilities. Regardless, thanks for your answer, I appreciate it!

@@kogpressor You are most welcome and I am glad I could shed some light on it:) I have been a ESP fan ever since I was a teenager and I can totally relate to the passion that you and many of the others have expressed here about these guitars. I also 100% agree that they should make a walk through of their Japanese facilities. I think everyone here would appreciate seeing that and it would reveal how they make these amazing instruments. I just very recently purchased a E-II ESP Horizon String Thru and I can honestly say that it is one of the best guitars I have ever played if not the best. There is no way that they could make a guitar that good if they were not using the best materials and luthiers. So save your money and don't believe all the hype about the USA stuff. Take care my friend.

That is good feedback. It was my first video and we were on a tight schedule and did not have time to do a full narrated tour. I just loaded an unedited version without the background music.

RothkoVEV0 yes😂😂

oh man, It was making me start to hate guitar lol

I think it looks more like a custom shop rather than a massive factory that pumps out hundreds of guitars a day without any great skill or care!
