Izzy's SCOM Guitar

[Johnny Rattlesnake]

Does anyone know of the model or name of the white ESP telecaster type guitar Izzy
plays in the video? I can't find anything on it. The only thing close is an ESP Throbber
but is very different. Here is a picture of a blue one just for reference.

There was a topic about this question a long time ago here or on the Izzy forum, I've searched the ESP site for it a while ago but never found it..

But that blue guitar comes pretty close I'd say!

This is the closest I can find:

Isn't there any customer service mail to ask for that guitar?

[Mr.Twister]

I thought it was Fender?

[Johnny Rattlesnake]

Nope, check the video.

[Mr.Twister]

ah yeah now i see

Basically, it's an ESP Mirage with the pre-lawsuit headstock. Pre-lawsuit means that ESP was copying headstocks of other manufacturers(Fender, Jackson, Gibson, etc...) to exact specs. After the lawsuit, ESP started making thier own headstock designs.

thank you for reopening this thread and giving this info to us, I really wanted to know

The "lawsuit era" is the late 70s & very early 80s, when Japanese companies were making pure copies of classic guitars. If I remember correctly, only Ibanez was actually sued. After that, the company changed around a bit and started to focus more upon its own styles.

I'm fairly sure that ESP wasn't sued in that era. In fact, I don't think it started to make a ripple on the market until the mid-80s. I think - think - that it had some legal wranglings with the big boys, hence it changed its headstocks on export-only guitars. ESP's daughter companies Navigator and Edwards still use the exact Gibson headstock on their Gibsonesque range, and their line of Fendery instruments has that headstock too. Navigator and Edwards are Japan-only lines.

Anyway...going by what I see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AYAv0IoWI at 00:10 and at 00:33, it has twin humbuckers and a Floyd Rose, so I'd say it's the same guitar as in the photo in post number 1. Fret markers are on the edge, not in the middle.
