今天偶尔看到ESP官网出新，所以随便翻译一下给各位GC琴友尝尝鲜，将就给各位拜个晚年
New for 2012:
The Latest Guitars and Basses from ESP and LTD! Itʼs a new year, so get ready to find out about the next items on your wish list from ESP and LTD!
Whatʼs the best part of a new year? We already know the answer: itʼs time for a big batch of new ESP and LTD guitars and basses to be announced! We think youʼll be very happy with our new offerings in 2012, so letʼs jump in and see whatʼs coming this year!
（简单来说就是ESP给您拜年啦~）
New Finishes for ESP（ESP老款式的新贴面型号之Eclipse篇）The always-popular ESP Eclipse-II has some brilliant new finishes to choose from. In 2012, check out the brand new Volcano Red (VR), Mystic Black (MYBLK), and Silver Sunburst (SSB) finishes... theyʼre all guaranteed to stand out from the crowd! The Eclipse-II QM also offers two new finishes over its beautiful quilted maple top, with Reindeer Blue (RDB) and Black Aqua (BLKAQ) being added to the list. If youʼre really into making a splash (and are into passive pickups), the new Eclipse-II w/Duncans has an amazing new Silver Sparkle (SSP) finish that canʼt help but draw everyoneʼs attention!
（ESP畅销的Eclipse LP系列，依旧是换汤不换药，换几个新皮肤再来赚钱；依然是大G外形+EMG/SD）
  
As long as weʼre talking about Eclipses, we should mention that the LTD EC-1000 also has a brand new look, with the hot Metallic Gold Sunburst (MGOSB) finish.
Over the Horizon（ESP老款式的新贴面型号之Horizon篇）The Eclipse-II isnʼt the only ESP model with hot new looks. By popular demand, ESP has great new finishes for the Horizon line as well. The Horizon FR is now available in Mystic Black (MYBLK) and Volcano Red (VR), while the Horizon FR-II has three new finishes: Black Aqua (BLKAQ), Reindeer Blue (RDB), and See Thru Black (STBLK). For you passive pickup lovers, the Horizon FR-II w/Duncans now comes in Dark Brown Sunburst (DBSB), Black Aqua (BLKAQ), Reindeer Blue (RDB), See Thru Black Cherry (STBC), and See Thru Black (STBLK). The Horizon NT-IIʼs new colors include Reindeer Blue (RDB), See Thru Black Cherry (STBC), See Thru Black (STBLK), and Black Aqua (BLKAQ).
（ESP Horizon系列也是十分给力，依旧是换个皮来继续赚钞票，不过对于外观帝来讲无非多了很多种颜色YY）
   
But the ESP Horizon line has expanded with more just just good looks. For instance, the Horizon FR-27 is a new model that features a 27-fret neck (with scalloped frets from 12-27), and neck-thru construction, Seymour Duncan Custom 5 (bridge) and Hot Rails (neck) pickups, and an original Floyd Rose bridge. Also new is the Horizon FR-7, which, like the name implies, adds a Floyd Rose bridge to this seven-string beast.
（新推出的27品冗长指板的Horizon款 搭载SD Custom5琴桥款和SD热轨小双琴颈拾音器，还有7弦双摇款 搭载EMG707）
 
New: ESP HRFThe HRF is a new design from ESP that combines the body styling of the Horizon with the headstock of the F-Series (aka Forest) guitar. Available in Black, the HRF NT offers neck-thru construction, ebony fingerboard, and Seymour Duncan Blackout AHB-1 active pickups. The HRF NT-II adds a great-looking quilted maple top, and comes in See Thru Black Cherry (STBC), Black Aqua (BLKAQ), and Reindeer Blue (RDB).
（ESP家族新添成员HRF型号，琴头使用Schecter犀利版+SD Blackout AHB-1主动拾音器+穿体设计，重新定义重型音色）
 
New Kirk Hammett SignaturesCelebrating his 25th year as an ESP player, Metallicaʼs Kirk Hammett has three new models for you. The ESP KH-DC and LTD KH-DC are a brand new double-cutaway body style based on the Eclipse/EC, with a set neck design at 24.75” scale, and an attractive STBC (See Thru Black Cherry) finish on its flamed maple top. Like other EC models, the guitar offers a mahogany body and mahogany neck, with a rosewood fingerboard. The KH-DC features gold hardware, including gold-covered EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60 (neck) active pickups, and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. The ESP version of the new Kirk Hammett model includes Sperzel locking tuners, while the LTD version offers ESP locking tuners.
（牛逼的Kirk Hammett又出新签名款KH-DC啦~今儿走的是复古路线，恶心的四不像，PRS？Gibson DC？SG？还是ESP？估计只有Kirk自己知道
桃花心木琴体+琴颈，玫瑰木指板，22品，EMG60+81黄金盖子，当然还有对应的LTD款）
The limited-edition LTD KH-25 has black distressed finish and graphics designed to emulate Kirkʼs famous KH-2 Vintage model. The KH-25 has bolt-on construction at 25.5" scale, with a basswood body, maple neck, and a Floyd Rose Special bridge. The guitar also features ESPʼs new ALH-200 active pickups.
（LTD新添了KH-25，是KH-2 Vintage的LTD款，椴木琴体+枫木琴颈，FR Special双摇琴桥，ESP ALH-200主动拾音器。其实就是一个KH-2 Vintage的样子琴，提供Kirk党YY用）
New Jeff Hanneman Signatures and Slayer-2012Another long-time ESP player, Slayerʼs Jeff Hanneman, is getting new signatures as well. The ESP Jeff Hanneman EC and LTD JH-600EC are customized versions of the Eclipse model, with a traditional thick body, black finish, and custom red upside-down star inlays on the neck. Also, a new limited edition model, the LTD SLAYER-2012, is being offered this year only, with graphics celebrating the 25th anniversary of Slayerʼs “South of Heaven” album. Itʼs a must-have for players and collectors alike.
（Slayer乐队金发大哥Jeff Hanneman出新款啦~~哟！还是LP款，疯了~24品，还是TMD大K双摇琴桥，牛逼，牛逼~另外还有一款LTD Slayer2012狗屁限量款，琴上的画还是挺吊的）
 
Anthrax: Rob Caggiano and Frank Bello Signature Guitars and BassesSay it with us: itʼs about time that Rob Caggiano -- a great player and supporter of ESP -- got his own Signature Series models! Based on his customized ESP Horizon, the ESP Rob Caggiano and LTD RC-600 are being offered in a STP (See Thru Purple) finish. The guitars use a bolt-on construction at 25.5” scale, and have an ash body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard with custom inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers. The instruments also feature two DiMarzio humbucking pickups, Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and Dunlop straplok hardware (the ESP version also includes Sperzel locking tuners, while the LTD version comes with ESP Locking tuners).
（Slayer都出新款了，咱们Anthrax怎么能落后呢？炭蛆著名主音吉他Rob Caggiano和贝斯手Frank Bello推出自己的签名款，Rob的是Ash琴体+枫木琴颈，玫瑰木指板，Dimarzio拾音器，
奇怪的是就他的琴是螺丝连接设计，以上两位大神都是通体设计。哦，对了，Big4基本都齐了，就差Dave了，再签回来吧，呵呵。当然是不可能的事了。）
But wait: Anthrax bassist Frank Bello now also has ESP and LTD Signature Series basses! The ESP Frank Bello and LTD FB-4 are both based on the ESP Vintage-4 model, customized to Belloʼs specifications with a Black Satin finish and black anodized aluminum pickguard, ebony fingerboard with black pearloid block inlays, EMG PJ-X active pickups and a Gotoh bridge. The basses feature bolt-on construction at 34" scale, an alder body, and maple neck with 21 XJ frets.
New from Richard Z (Rammstein) and Michael Wilton (Queensrÿche)The wait is over: the new Richard Z Kruspe (Rammstein) model is available! The ESP RZK-II Burnt is a true one-of-a-kind guitar with an outstanding distressed/burnt finish. Features include neck-thru-body construction, an alder body, mahogany neck, Gotoh tuners, Floyd Rose original bridge, and EMG 81 active pickups.
（战车的Richard Z又出新款了，一直走邪恶+虐待路线，今年是咋地了，都TM出LP款，有病啊？！该吃药了）
Queensrÿcheʼs guitarist Michael Wilton gets the honor of having the first Signature Series acoustic model from ESP with the LTD MW-DC1E. Itʼs a cutaway dreadnought shape with a spalted maple body top, back & sides, a B-Band T-55 4-band preamp with onboard tuner, diamond abalone inlays and a custom abalone/pearloid inlay at the 12th fret.
