Hi there guys, Im looking to get a new ESP guitar. How much would a fairly good ESP EX guitar with a custom graphic cost?

So you mean a full blown custom designed by yourself? Or do you just want to have an ESP EX with a graphic on it? If so, you could get the ESP EX and have it airbrushed.

On the main site there is a custom quote generator, as well as a custom quote pdf in the custom shop section. You can get a ballpark estimate with the generator, but completing the pdf and sending it to a dealer is most accurate. Good luck.

Depending on what you want will determine the cost of the guitar.

I just want the characters in the foreground, I dont care really what for a BG I will prolly just say, I trust the judgement of the artist.

I'm sorry but ESP wont do it cause they will not do copy righted images. You'll have to take someone that can air brush or the cheaper way to do it is get some vinyl put it on the guitar then spray the clear coat over it. I wanted a custom Gucci paint job and esp got back to me an said they wont do it cause its a copy righted image.

I really doubt ESP would make you a guitar with an Iceman body. Not to shatter your dreams or anything, haha.

If you go with a custom graphic or a custom body shape, you're looking at a base of about $5000. I paid $4200 for mine and it's basically a standard horizon with a custom color.

Things have changed doods. Im hearing that ESP has raised their prices on customs as of this week. Take a look at my other thread.|I
