Guitar Philosophy
ES Guitars is trying to push the envelope of guitar designs. Over the years companies have turned out the same product year after year…same guitar different paint color. Electric guitars consist in same parts from when it was first created back in the 1940s. Any product that have been around a while have modernized in looks. Although, modern guitars have some degree of innovation the basic shape of the guitar has not changed. Think of cars, cell phones, computers, etc. they all have modern looks although the basic operation is the same. At the moment the guitar industry has failed to update its guitar designs for several reasons:
- Lack of interest on the part of musicians
- Small market share for these designs (mostly Heavy Metal Market)
- Lack of a good design
Musicians are very resistant to change. Many people grew up on certain guitars and continue to play these guitars as adults. The fact that their guitar role models or idols never played a funky looking guitar turns people off from playing eccentric designs. Musicians need to change the perception of music instruments. A music instrument is a form of expression just like the music that it creates. ES Guitars offers guitarists an alternative. We offer radical new designs yet we do not compromise the sound, functionality, playability or quality of electric guitars. ES Guitars inspires the spirit of rebellion that fueled Rock and Roll with new and innovative guitar designs. Music has changed over the years and so should electric guitar designs. People have been conditioned by years of stagnant designs. Electric guitar models do not change from year to year. Why do musicians accept this? ES Guitars want to defy the conventional electric guitar designs regardless of market share and social stigmas. ES Guitars makes guitars out of love for music. Let’s face it, making guitars is a tough business and making original nonconforming models is more difficult. ES Guitars is not a corporate machine looking out to turn out a profit. ES Guitars proudly makes bold, innovative, and original in your face guitar designs. No other company would dare make this type of guitar for the fear of being labeled a HEAVY METAL GUITAR. This kills the profits .ES Guitars is committed to all forms of music.
ES Guitars is committed to:
- Quality electrical guitar with excellent sound and playability. That is the bottom line.
- Create original guitar designs that look cool and make a musical statement.
- Fight the social conditioning imposed by big guitar corporations that have dictated to the world how a guitar should look. Musical Instruments are works of art not mass produced pieces of wood.
- Bring back the spirit of rebellion into guitars and inspire a new generation to seek its own individuality, will not conform to the pre established norm, and want to make a statement against corporate guitars. ES Guitars will constantly be committed to spreading the word all over the world.
