But I've got so used to playing with the NT shape that if I pick up any other guitar it feels strange now.
Subsequently, the signature EC model was conceived when he became Ozzy's guitarist; why was it necessary? Apparently, Ozzy asked Gus if he plays the Les Paul because there is a track record of his guitarists being Les Paul players. The answer to this query reflected why Gus G sticks to ESP:
..., I hate Les Pauls.
But as a compromise, Gus had ESP make him the EC model we see above. So now we know what went on. In my opinion, if you respect the player, let him use whatever he wants.

In another similar example, Chris Broderick of Megadeth is endorsed by Engl Amplifiers. But he had to use Marshall JVMs to record the album Endgame because Dave Mustaine prefers the sound of Marshall. (The above info was obtain from wikipedia)
Guess it is up to the 'leader' of the band or the producer to dictate sometimes.
bro, do u have eclipse(s) in ur collections?
@NiN Chris Broderick in response to Mustaine's demand uses an 'Engl Powerball' emulator in his rig. Look for it in youtube~ ^^
bro ijau: yes, only in the mean time, http://theguitaraddict.blogspot.com/2008/06/esp-eclipse-ii-fm.html
hope to get a Special Order going for the subsequent Eclipse acquisition :-)
Yet when Zakk first joined Ozzy he bought him a super strat! This was from an old GuitarWorld interview. So used to Jake E.Lee using Charvels. Just let players use what they want, who cares.
