THE ESP 2026 WAVE
From satin-black metal machines to Japanese Custom Shop art pieces — everything new from the ESP family, available in Bratislava and shipping across Europe.
ESP has just lifted the curtain on nine brand-new LTD models — the complete Black Metal II series plus three affordable baritones, all arriving in stock from 30 September and available to order now. Below you'll find every one of them, together with the rest of what 2026 has already brought the ESP family — from refreshed LTD classics to Japanese Custom Shop art pieces like Mick Thomson's new MT-I.
Blackout, Round Two
The original Black Metal series stripped everything to pure aggression. For 2026 it returns as Black Metal II — six new machines in satin Black Red Burst: neck-thru builds, Macassar ebony boards, stainless frets and Seymour Duncan MortalCoil 3-voice humbuckers. Arrow, EXL, Phoenix and three baritones, EverTune included. In stock from 30 September — orders open now.

The Baritone Army
Downtuning without compromise: the new M-207DX Baritone puts a 27"-scale seven-string under €650, while Breaking Benjamin's Ben Burnley gets his own BB-200 Baritone with a quilted maple top.
The Everyday Weapons
Earlier this year the core LTD range also got fresh ammunition — new finishes and configurations across the EC, M, MH, SN, TH and EXL families, from the workhorse EXL-200 up to the EC-1000 in Candy Apple Red Satin and the offset MV-1000 Maverick.
The Custom Shop Wave
Straight from ESP's Custom Shop in Japan: Mick Thomson's new MT-I in Obsidian Metallic, the Eclipse CTM DB in Titan Metal, the EX in Black Andromeda-II, seven-string M-II CTM builds in Liquid Metal finishes and a whole palette of Horizon-CTM-PT-II and Snapper customs — all available from us on pre-order.
Tokyo Factory Fresh
E-II — built in ESP's own Tokyo factory — adds the offset Maverick in Gun Metallic Black, the Snapper-III with the eye-catching Flicker finishes, and the T-6 HS in Sparkle Satin colours.
