So, guess we're vilified. I don't know that anyone ever said E-II was going to happen in 2013, but that seems to be how the reaction to it went.
For the record, now that we and Vincent are hopefully considered reliable informants and not "rumour" mongers
- 16 core "ESP Standard" models will remain remaining in the market as "ESP Standard series" (but with a new ESP logo different from current original ESP logo) for one year, within 2013.
- All "Standard Signature models" will be discontinued. Signature models will be available only from "Custom Shop" as "Custom Shop Signature Models".
- Only "Custom shop models", "Original Series" and "Custom Orders" will have the original ESP logo from 2013.
And the plans for 2014 -
- ESP will introduce a new brand name "E-II Standard" to replace current ESP Standard Series. "E-II Standard" will use the same specifications as current ESP Standards; just the logos would be switched over from ESP.
There you go. That was the information we were given in October. The first three parts were proven to be true. Part 4 will also.
