ESP has released their LTD lineup for 2018. I will be highlighting selected models which are arguably 'different' from the 2017 range.
Starting things off, we have the Black Metal series featuring guitars with, what else, an all black feature (less the frets). On this note (no pun intended), LTD has joined Ibanez's Iron Label range in generating models which are not placed under a clearly defined tier (Standard? Deluxe? Special edition? What??). However, the manufacturer promised a 'premium' construction for these models & all instruments feature only a single bridge pickup which is a Seymour Duncan Black Winter.
The other 2 members of this family are pictured above- an FR bridge equipped M & a 7-string Viper. Judging from the features, I'd say these will be in the Deluxe price bracket with very limited appeal to the heavy metal proponents based on the colour scheme & artistic limitations.

One pickup,hopefully that's not FRS.
"Black Label" sounds much better.He he
I think ESP should just gave a normal production number e.g. M410,EC410 etc. Let the consumer assume it's proper role.
I predict this line will end up just like the Elite. What's your take sir?
These niche models IMO will meet early death. But I respect them for acknowledging the fact that there is a market for such features out there, not a major one though.
