We’ve already had the signatures, with the long-awaited model of Slipknot’s #7, Mick Thomson, being the highlight. But the Japanese guitar manufacturer’s 50th anniversary is far from over. ESP 2025 has new LTD models for baritone guitars, a blood-red Arrow, a golden EC, and much more!
ESP’s 2025 Release Catalog
ESP 2025: Candy Apple Red Satin Arrow
Let’s start with the visual highlight of ESP 2025: the Arrow-1000 in blood-red Candy Apple Red Satin. It comes with a Mahogany body with a three-piece maple neck (Extra Thin U), Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets, a Floyd Rose 1000E bridge, and two Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers. The black Arrow came out last year, and we’ve now got this red Flying-V monster!
The popular Eclipse series also gets a couple of releases with the LTD EC-2025 50th Anniversary, LTD EC-201, and LTD Deluxe EC-01FT models. The LTD EC-2025 is a golden beauty with a mahogany body, a three-piece mahogany neck (Thin U), and a Macassar ebony fretboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets.
It features a Seymour Duncan APH-1N humbucker on the neck and a Seymour Duncan Custom 14 humbucker with a special Custom Black Grained cover in the bridge position. On the more affordable side is the LTD EC-201 model in chic Gloss Black, also with a mahogany body, an ESP LH-150B pickup with push/pull functionality, and an LTD bridge.
New SN, M, and TE models
The “strat-iest” of all ESP series, the Snapper series, also includes a few new LTD models, namely the LTD SN-1000HT and the SN-1 HT. Both models come with a swamp ash body, 25.5 scale length, roasted maple neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, and a Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body. The LTD-1000HT has 22 jumbo frets with mother-of-pearl inlays and two Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers (ceramic at the bridge, alnico at the neck). By contrast, the LTD Deluxe SN-1 has a Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic 3-Voice humbucker (including push/pull control) and 24 jumbo frets.
The more modern ST-style Series M and MH also get new entries. Among other things, there is the really, really black ESP LTD M-1000 Maple BK, where everything is in deep black except for the glued-in, three-part maple neck and maple fingerboard. The guitar includes two Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers.
The LTD MH-1000NT has a slightly more defined look, with the white binding around the body providing excellent contrast to the black color. Compared to the M-1000, this model features an ebony fretboard, a TonePros Locking TOM bridge with string routing through the body, and LTD Locking Tuners. Plus, we have the mighty seven-string baritone model LTD M-1007B in Granite Sparkle with an epic 27-inch scale length.
And there will be something new in ESP 2025 for the Tele lovers. The entry-level LTD TE-201 in black includes LTD locking tuners, an LH-150B humbucker, a mahogany body, and a mahogany neck. There is also a new seven-string baritone model (LTD TE-1007 Baritone) with a Fishman Ceramic Modern 3-Voice Soapbar Black Plastic humbucker. And finally, we have another guitar in Silver Blast (LTD TE-1000 Silver Blast) with a Seymour Duncan APH-1N in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Custom 14 at the bridge as pickups.
