Acceptable:
Change of colours/design for inlays
Not acceptable:
Custom inlays
Isn't this a contradiction?
Here's how i interprete:
Acceptable:
Change of colours/design for inlays
(this means whatever inlay patterns that are already designed and produced by ESP)
Not acceptable:
Custom inlays
("custom" as in, u design the inlay, and u want ESP to follow your design)
Sounds more logical?
~1mb
that's right 1mb, the Special Order is rooted in the Standard range, so whatever variation available for the guitars in this range can be brought over to your instrument. having a completely different design is not an option. so the chances of having 'i love Mum' at the 12th fret is remote :-)
hmmm sub is a change of bridge type possible??
it's possible but the wisdom of such specification here is cost; make sure your bridge swap doesn't involve a more affordable construction in the first place because there's additional cost involve regardless of this consideration :-)
But aren't they building the axe from scratch anyway since its siimilar to a custom model??
no they're not- these guitars, as mentioned in the post, are from the Standard Series range, so they are already available, you just specify some changes :-)
hmmm not very wise to change something from 2-directional to a uni-directional bridge eh...
that aside, the temptation to make your guitar unique, is sometimes too great... he he :-)
