My good friend and Master Builder Gil Vazquez gave my wife, son and I, a tour of the ESP USA factory this Summer.
This video will show every step of the guitar build process including CNC, Carving machines, neck fretting and master painting; as well as "Made in the USA" hands-on luthiery!
Check out the beautiful ESP USA models like the Eclipse, V-II Flying V, M-II, Horizon and Viper guitars being made. And you'll also see a variety of woods like the quarter sawn maple neck planks, Koa and Tamo ash.
ESP USA are doing great work in North Hollywood. Making great set-neck and neck through guitars that can be configured by the consumer via their website.
