2018 ESP LTD Kamikaze 4!!!

[Despised]

So I came across this the other day on Instagram, and Mr. George Lynch has made the announcement before ESP has about the release of an LTD version of the Kamikaze 4. I am dying g to get one of these because this has not only been a guitar I have wanted for more than a decade (but obviously don't have the $4k or more to drop on one...), but it will be the 6-string counterpart to my 7-string (side by side pic attached of the '18 LTD Kamikaze 4 and my Kamikaze 4 7-string...).

I am curious of a few things a out it though...
*Basswood body???
*Same control cavity route as the current GL200K LTD Kamikaze 1???
*Estimated price tag???

Never before has there been such a dire want and need for a guitar until I saw this... And then of course is to be what to put in it for pickups - run a 6-string version of what I am in my 7 (EMG 707 & SA-7, so an 85 & SA??? I know I am gonna have to wait until more exact details are released by ESP, and I will make a new thread on that in the pickup section when I get it/know more...

It is anyone else as excited for this as I am??? Surely I am not the only one...

damn it

just damn it

because, like, in an 80's hair metal tribute playing Dokken, how can you go on stage without that?

Hell, even if NOT for an 80's hair metal tribute, it's still a visually stunning guitar... I get comments on my 7 all the time because of how bad-ass and how loud it is.

And you forgot a color in there!!! Kamikaze patterns are always 4 colors. This one is the hardest to see that 4th color if it's not in the right lighting.

So, what's this 'new' version of the Dokkenbucker also?

Beats me... I was thinking a modified Screaming Demon, but it looks nothing like that in the pic... Then again, it don't matter to me anyhow. I'm only gonna pull both pickups out and replace them with something else anyway. Not sure what yet, either:
*EMG 85 (in red) & SA (in white)
-OR-
*Seymour Duncan Invader (in neon pink w/ black poles) & Hot Rails (in white...)

Since thks is gonna be my 6-string counterpart to my 7-string, I am still kinda leaning towards the 85 & SA combo.
