ESP GUITARS 2022 LINEUP - Phase 1 

The addition of Stainless Steel frets on a lot of these models is a welcome feature.

They absolutely nailed it this year. So many cool guitars

Sammy Duet SD-2 hands down. ESP is KILLING it this year in all styles and budgets. Great specs, options, and looks.

ESP has a Killer line up so far, I see a few on the wish list already!

ESP is doing preorders on the Snakebyte. The ESP version is almost $8,000

SD-2 OMG!!!! Cheers Ola!

Ive been exclusively playing ESP since 1990. I love them all.

It's a 40+ age vibe indeed. I disliked gold chains growing up but now I'm all about that bling bling. Now I'm itching for a Gibson LP lol

I just watched ESPs video they released the other day here on RU-vid, I actually watched it yesterday, right after watching your video on the Ibanez releases for 2022! I love Ibanez Guitars, but ESP blew them out of the water! I'm a guitar player for over 25 years now, not so much the past 5 years due to life, but in August of 2021 I fell at work and broke my wrist in 2 separate locations really bad, I've been in a cast since, I actually just had surgery on January 6th of this year! This has been really hard for me and my family, I'm unable to work, no help with bills, and an arm that I can no longer use at the moment! I'm gonna beat this though, I will have that Fire Top ESP or one of those Baritones at some point, a new amp as well, and I will be doing my own rehab on my arm here in a few months! Wish me luck ya'll! Bless you Ola, and I would actually prefer a Solar Guitar! Lol! Peace to all!!

I just bought a black M1 Custom 1987 reissue and it’s seriously the best guitar I’ve owned…and I’ve had more than I can count (I’m old lol). But it definitely nails that 80’s shredder vibe; it’s solid-feeling, has super low action and insane playability. It just makes you want to play it constantly.

That M1 with that metallic gold finish! Must be an age thing 😜

I design and build guitars in my free time, and I get a bit burnt out on looking at guitars sometimes, but I always make an exception for ESP.

I bought for 200€ a brand new LTD EX-100 on sale in 2003. Loaded it with EMG's. It stayed at my dad's during 10 years in a case. When dad brought it back the guitar was still in tune and the battery working, no rust no fret buzz frets shining. Amazing.

I personally love that ex baritone, would love to own one

The SD-2 doubles as home defense axe!

I have a Snakebyte and it kicks ass and it's not heavy like you would think

That ASMR at the end is a pleasant surprise.

You actually picked two of my top three! We both have great taste my friend👍

Love the fire blast!!!my favorite

2022 is the coolest year for guitars since the 80s… now if only we could get that solar star release it would be complete

The M-1Custom 87 especially in the gold finish

I have so few regrets for NOT buying something, but that ESP LTD M1007 MS in the Natural Satin finish from a few years ago is something I still regret not buying. What a fucking beautiful Instrument, feels nice, sounds killer with my perfect specs... I should have just sold one of my livers... Let that be a lesson to you all: Just buy everything you see, even if it means ruining your life...

The SD-2 is hands down my favorite on this list. Cant wait for the Solar extreme body 👀

Losing my mind over the Baritone and silverburst Phoenix guitars!

I would have the EC-1000 See Thru Purple Sunburst. I'm always a big fan of the Eclipse Models :)

Sammy!!!

For me the best is Arrow-1000 EverTune! It will be first guitar on the market which I’d like to have after 2 years of using Solar V1.6 LTD Artist RD :) Ola you made so good guitar and make players vendor-lock for years with Solar Guitars :p

ESP knocked it out of the park yet again! 🤘🤘🤘

that snake bite camo is sweet.

I wish ESP would include some old school hockey stick style headstocks on the '87 series.

My favorite is what is now probably the heaviest guitar in the ESP lineup, the EC-1000T CTM in satin black with gold accents and fishman classics. Everything about it is the perfect LP style guitar for me.

ESP’s prices for guitars can be ridiculous sometimes but what makes up for the price is the quality and craftsmanship of the guitars. Also, Jeff Hanneman’s estate confirmed that ESP’s gonna re release Jeff’s signature models pretty soon.

The metallic purple LTD M-1 Custom is next on my guitar acquisition list...

I have a pink 87 Mirage reissue and I love it. I might actually buy the white with gold hardware Looks great

I just bought the M1-87 Left handed in Candy Apple Red. Its a Shredder!!!!!

killer camo Snakebite, ad i also love a lot the 90's superstrat white

The Sn1007 and H3 1007 models had me drooling a little I can't wait to see what phase 2 of the line up looks like!

Great show Ola!

The SD2 and that white and gold Mirage got me

EX Black Metal bridge pickup only, pure fuckin metal man!!

I really enjoyed it. You'll find me in the chat replay... and wow man did I spen the BEST £10 on my workhorse yamaha - looks the nuts now! Sorry, literally just done it, watching this as i take a break. TOO EXCITED

Ola lowkey checking the competition to plan his next move.

To be honest, I liked the most of these guitars!

I don't like to switch brands. I'm just used to 8 string prestiges now. If I wasn't an ibanez fanboy I'd probably play solar. They look awesome. Like slick and fast playing.

I have an older EX-307 and the strap button placement up there causes SO much neck dive.

One of my favourite features of the LTD Snakebyte is the JH Het Set Pickups, they're really classy and slick looking compared to the flat, plasticky look of your usual EMGs.

SD-2 & Arrow 1000 Evertune

I like the SN-1000 EVERTUNE. Hum, single, single, stainless frets, ET bridge, SCALLOPED frets high on the board, Alder body. Gotta check one out.

That open pore ash guitar in sunburst as a baritone would be cool af.

I love the gold Mirage deluxe!.

A signature artist of Solar Guitars is reviewing esp guitars lineup sounds weird but great job Ola

It's OK Ola, I'd still rather have my E1.7FBB as an E shape guitar, over any ESP E type. Seriously. The shape and beveling you came up with is so beautiful, that's why I bought one... But my god is it a tomb stone! I gotta remember to keep my back straight if I'm jamming standing up.

Great presentation on the new 2022 ESP models. Thanks Ola! I really enjoy my '16 EC-1000.

Hey Ola, ever thought of trying out the EMG James Hetfield pickups? Maybe a review?

I have 2 guitars and a bass from the 87 series. Can’t recommend them enough especially for the price point vs full line ESPs. This lineup looks sick!

Still loving my black ESP-Eclipse custom shop with a flat top I bought almost 20 years ago for 1300€. By now she is pretty battle wrackted from touring but still plays like sweet love \m/

Car tire weights work great to assist with neck dive you can hide them in compartments on back of guitar body the stick on ones

I'm waiting for the arrow to be back on stock thru guitar center and that will be my next toy so seeing more for 2022 is sweeeet

You're over 40 years old!!! I thought you were 30 years old. Good for you bro ;)

3:55 "there's just way more wood compared to the body" I have that exact same problem!

For the next guitar I would like EC shape. Something with Evertune, but only EC-1000T CTM EVERTUNE is new for 2022. But I would prefer more colorful finish, already have black guitars.

I'd love to see you get a demo model of the SD-2.

I really dig the MH-1000 though out of them all. The baritones are sweet as well.

1:01 ,thats "you can smoking anywhere you want" era airliner passenger seat flip flap ashtray, YCSAYWEAPSFFA in short.

Why is every damn guitar loaded with Fishman? owned a set and they were "ok" but nothing that should be loaded in EVERY new guitar....

Ola , it took me 3 months last year to receive my LTD snakebyte in the uk...! Maybe you’ll get one sooner since you are a superstar influencer. Keep up the great work

I'm pretty excited about the 7string baritone EX and their Violet Andromeda color

I love the nonrecessed floyd series, so rare, so awesome, but nothing can top the rainbow crackle finnish!

The prices are shown on the US website. LTD Snakebite: $1899 USD. ESP Snakebike: $7299 (wow!) I like the MH-1000, but since I have an original Horizon from the 80's, I'm good.

I would love to see an explorer with that Black Ocean paint job...

EC 201 is cool very simple, but my color favorite is the white :P

I just got a 2018 ltd vulture and love it. So easy to play.

One of the things I like the most about ESP guitars is the placement of the volume knob!! (Hint: Solar guitars!!)

MH-1000 is the shit. Really liking that black ocean color too.

It wasn’t shown here, but theres a black eclipse with Black/gold Evertune…oh faaack so sick👌👌

This office looks clean, it fits so well for tha news

@Ola Englund 2: The Snakebyte Camo can now be pre ordered at Thomann. Also the white one is back in stock. Better get one now Ola!

ESP #1!!! 👍🤘

Gotta have the camo snakebyte... yeah yeah signature guitar blah blah... i have the ltd iron cross, fantastic playing guitar, sounds incredible...the looks, definitely not a 7 out of 10. Wish it would just be a solid white with black hardware. But the fit and finish is flawless.

Thanks Ola, always funny and kickass..ehm I mean professional😬 I prefer ESP over Ibanez no doubt about it, they all look cool andthe new Healtfield signature snakebyte is a beast 🤟🏼 By, Marco!

I will never look at a cream Les Paul style guitar ever again!

I feel like the Snake "byte" would make more sense if the camo was digital. Still cool though!

Did you not notice the eclipse EC-1000T CTM Evertune? You might be interested to see which model they use. (it's not the one with ears)

A Firebird with full humbuckers is my main muse right now so I'd go for one of the new Phoenix-1000's.

I Want a phase 2, with ESP eclipses and explorers!

Ola the purple eclipse at around 4:30 to 5 min mark is colour purple Solar needs to embrace. I sent Louise a pic of an Epi single cut that was probably more of a violet than purple. This is the purple I want and I want it in a GC1.6 hard tail or FR1000 would be ok too.

Gold M1 87' & SD-2 😎👍

The Snapper guitar models are really cool.

Really like that charcoal Arrow, it just looks soo clean and yeah, the gold M-1s with the gold hardware are sexy aswell... I'm really hoping they'll give E-II some love soon doe; atm for me, they're just not on par with the LTD line...

Camo of course 😎

In the states $1899 for the LTD and $7299 for the ESP on the camo snakebyte

I have an LTD SnakeByte (Korean) and a 2006 ESP eclipse. Love them both. But I also know that now LTDs are being build in Indonesia and I'm not putting my money toward that. Would love to get the ESP SnakeByte but I'm not made of money and I know the current ones that I have seen kicking around are about $6000 CAD, and this new one might be even more. So, I don't think i'll be getting anything out of this launch.

snakebyte camo price : around 7k usd in Tokyo.

That EX-7 is killer!!!

That ESP LTD EC-201 bad ass

Never knew how much I wanted a seven string Phoenix till now lol

I could see ola chuggin an old school warlock. Don’t know why he greefseses the shapeseses sometimes. Meahh. To each his own

That baritone 7 with the fishmans is badass.

I hope you do ESP custom shop demo one day.

The LP style was pretty classy.
