Simple, clean, white as New York snow.

It looks like a fun series. Nice options with the Hipshot, ebony, and ss frets.

ESP seem to be offering quite a few single hum options. I really like the look of that '87 reissue M-1 in candy apple.
 
With the exception of the headstock and color, it's almost identical to the Godin Redline. Yet another that I love.

P.S. Both use the EMG 81 pup. I'd have to change that in a hot minute. :D

Ah. The Artic Metal uses the 81TW, with a push-pull to activate the single-coil mode. Nice touch.
 
Considering that so many active axes come with Fishmans these days, it's interesting that they went EMG with these.

I wonder what the financial relationship is between an OEM and aftermarket manufacturer as it relates to pickups. Do ESP or Godin do Fishman? ESP has been an EMG stronghold for years, same with Jackson (along with Duncan). I wonder if Fishman did anything to end up in all the guitars they are shipping in now.
 
Needs a black pickup to balance with the ebony IMO. Certainly not the off-white EMG. Bad choice by ESP.

White Invader with black caps would be perfect!
