Andrew D mahalo for the comment. I just was checking out the ESP USA “cosmos” series. Sick!!

Thank you so much for sharing! I really enjoyed this factory tour!

Thanks for sharing this unique and personal look into the creative and small world of ESP. This makes me even happier to be an owner and supporter of this company, both the USA and Japan operations. 🤘🏻

Great video! It was nice meeting you briefly, and glad you had a chance to come visit! Gil really has done some good things since he joined our shop! Mahalo!

Thanks to stimulus i now own a esp usa m 2,never thought id own a 4 grand guitar

Very cool! Thanks a lot for the tour. Maybe one day i'll be lucky enough to own an ESP USA.

I'm sure the local City and county inspector would love to be inside of that customer shop

I feel like the ESP Japanese custom shop video showed more professional and higher skilled workers. Some of this stuff looks very amature for how expensive the ESP USA 🇺🇸 guitars are

I'll be absolutely happy with any of the b stocks they have😂

I happen to own that guitar that's at the end that Gil is holding. It's a beauty but I am too afraid to ding it up so I keep it inside the case and only play it once in a while LOL

Great content ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺

Very cool. Love esp guitars. I used to have a japanese custom m2 I think it was. Great guitar..

Wow. Very cool. I would love to work there. I used to program CNCs in the machine shop industry. CNCs make guitars and anything else better. They never get tired, they are acxurate, etc.

I would love to learn how to builds guitars from Gil. Seems like such an awesome guy to work with.

- Thank you for the tour - What?! - Whaaat?! - Whaaaaat?!

I would like to work in that factory, I really like ESP guitars, they are very professional.

Cool video! Two of my USA ESP's came out of this factory and my third ESP is from Japan.

I could never actually afford one of these new… but I came across a used ESP USA TE-II hanging on the wall at Guitar Center for half of what it would cost new… I bought it without a second thought.. it ruined me!!! I can’t buy budget guitars anymore!! The quality and playability of the ESP is totally unbelievable!!!

Dang, no harm doing B stock at a discount, that top on that Horizon is killer and not seen very often!

Interesting video! Thanks you! I know that guitars are made in factories and they are too harsh to build them, because it is tiring and needs many hours! I have watched videos how to make a guitar and it's too hard! I know that I'm not able to make a guitar if I want to, because I couldn't make it on my own.

Take an ESP Kamikaze, strip the graphic and replace it with a solid color. What ESP model is that?

That looks like carvin old cnc

Fuck yeah STEW MAC tools!

I wonder if they are better than the Jackson custom shop

Isnt that called a compound radius neck?

SO THAT SHOP IS DESIGNED YOU HAVE TO WALK THRU ALL THE DUST OF WOODSHOP TO GET TO PAINT AND BACKTHRU TO BUFFING .

Is ESP USA snd ESP custom shop the same thing ?

Good question that I should've talked about. ESP USA and ESP Custom Shop (in Japan) are two different shops. To be accurate I looked it up on ESP's site and copy/pasted below. Having been to ESP USA I can say that it's set up as a "custom shop" and the guitars they put out are high level professional quality. Thanks! ESP Custom Shop The ESP Custom Shop is located in Japan. We make three types of guitars and basses there: completely custom instruments, ESP Original Series instruments (see below), and our Signature Series guitars and basses under the ESP brand. Each instrument made at the ESP Custom Shop is handcrafted by experienced luthiers to the highest level of detail, and rank among the finest guitars in the world. ESP USA Beginning in 2013, we opened a manufacturing shop near our United States ESP headquarters. We founded this facility for the purpose of building our ESP USA Series, which are high-performance guitars designed for serious professional players. ESP USA models are not custom guitars, but they may be personalized with several aspects, including the top woods, the finish color and type (gloss or satin), a choice of passive or active pickups, and more.

Wouldn't buy one from them, just didn’t convince me the way the Japanese do. I mean, using a pointy headstock as a pointer = no go for me. He even touched the other neck with it.. And that natural binding on the V @19:25 isn’t 100% symmetrical. Let's hope they can keep grinding and get as good a rep as the Japanese. :)

Just wanted to point out that's a V-II, the entire design is supposed to be asymmetrical vs the V

A lot of those workers are gonna have respiratory issues as they get older. Zero face masks, gloves , eye protection etc.

This video makes me not want to buy one of these. This looks so amateurish compared to ESP Japan.

Poor camera work..
