Does anyone know any other interesting facts about ESP? I don't want this to be a total commercial for ESP, but I guess it is now until we can expand it. Timbo 02:42, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Too many artists

Does anyone else think that there are too many listed artists on this page? It looks silly compared to the text above it. Perhaps we should remove some? Lambyuk 10:56, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I'd suggest that this page should only contain ESP Guitar players who have their own custom models commercially available, and then create a category for 'normal' ESP guitar players.hellboy 03:41, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
If the musician is signed, then he should be on the list. If the list gets hard to manage (which it's not at the moment) a separate article can always be made. --Sn0wflake 20:57, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Michael Romeo uses Capirosons nowadays, doesn't he? I didn't see an ESP when I saw them live...
I think you are right (you can download a video from the Gigatour website where he's not playing an ESP). However, I believe he uses different guitars for recording and live performing. Try posting in Talk:Michael Romeo? Lambyuk 12:33, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ESP Pictures

Do you guys think that I can use the pictures of the guitars from the ESP website on here and cite that i got the picture from the website or should I email ESP and ask for permission or something? QelDroma06 19:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing huge list

There was a huge list of models- I've turned it into a list of series. There's a ton of tiny little stubs about specific models that are not, and can probably never be, encyclopedia articles. I've moving this list of links here since I don't see that it belongs in the article.

Damn, that's a crazy huge list. I could see maybe having articles on certain series of guitars if there's much to be said about them, but there's no way we want to reproduce the entire product catalog here. Friday (talk) 18:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Well I guess I can create an article for each series and describe the individual models there if that'll make it better. QelDroma06 18:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Seems like a step in the right direction- I've left the series links in for now, altho most of them appear to not be articles either- they're just lists. Moving lists around isn't very helpful, but turning a list into an article is. Honestly, given the content we have, maybe describing the major different series here in the main article is the way to go. Some of the content we have right now is pretty much an "indiscriminate collection of information", which is what Wikipedia is not. Friday (talk) 18:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Alright I'll turn the existing lists into articles instead. I guess I can make them somewhat similar to the Jackson Kelly page. QelDroma06 18:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Jackson Kelly most definitely looks better to me than having seperate articles for each variation. Friday (talk) 18:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
        • Alright then, I'll get to work on fixing it up right now. If any other problems arise just inform me or make the changes you feel are needed. QelDroma06 18:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Alright I just finished the first page: ESP AX Series. Any feeback is welcome on it. Tell me if it's good how it is so I can continue doing the same for the others or if there are any improvements I can make. And by the way, for series that have many models in it, such as the M Series, I can condense the information a bit so that there won't be a big list again but I don't think that would be a problem because first of all, it's not really a list, and second of all, it would only be contain about 10 or 15 models for the biggest series. It wouldn't be long like the list previously on the main page. QelDroma06 00:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
