1.ESP/ LTD the Grynch really there on the new cd. This 27-inch baritone monster sounds like a building that collapses. Equipped with 2 emgs and an afterburner for more gain, this guitar is so hot that the green flames come from all sides!!

7. ESP JH-3 faces his own design of the JH-3 with a fitting nightmare design
8. Gibson Les Paul costum iron cross in fact a black les paul custom but the design is changed a little bit: the switch is placed on the place where used to be the volume of the bridge is, the other is useless
