Timo Tolkki: New ESP guitar in September Young Guitar

Burning Reflection · Post by **Burning Reflection** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:44 am

I just got the September 05 issue of Young Guitar magazine in Japan and there's a picture of Timo Tolkki's new ESP model and an interview there! I haven't read the interview yet, but the picture of Timo's guitar looks really cool

It's an ocean/sky blue color with a dolphin swimming under water on it! Has any one seen this yet either at a show, on the internet or in Young Guitar?

Well..
That looks nice guitar! Dolphins Rock! I bought new album longsleeve shirt from Stratoshop and i got it today from post office and it rocks! Now i have 4 Strato shirts

It would have been sooo nice if Strato would have made a video from Paradise!

Autumn is coming and i truly hope i can get to see Stratovarius when they come to Helsinki in October.. "it would be my first show to see

"
Take care all nice Strato lovers!

If you guys didn't also notice, there's also a metallic ESP logo on the 12th fret!

yea...but, as far i know, the sig models dont have it or its written the name of the artist.

That is a beautiful&Cool guitar, but TT ALWAYS has beautiful guitars with a pattern which matches the album theme!
My fav is still the VISIONS guitar--Damn, its gorgeous!

Ha!

- I knew TT said something about his new guitars a few months ago on this very board and here it is. As you see, his new guitars are custom painted basic stock ESPs, not custom made.

Timo, Are they really making you a new custom shop? Probably done by now if the rumor was true. Sounded like a sweet deal!

I just order new guitars 2 days ago:)
I gave away all my other guitars. The last one I gave away was Visions, which I gave to my brother who is hosting www.metalquiz.com and there will be a competition there. Check it out, you might win.
My new guitars are just basic stock ESP M2 deluxe, with custom paintings and no scalloped fretboards anymore.
I am again experimenting with which amps I´ll bring to tour.
Let´s see.
I am in the process or reopening my website in a few months and also a site for my company GoldenWorks Entertainment.

It sounds as if TT has alot of irons in the fire. I wish him luck&hope he can handle it all.

Another contest? Yeah, right.

There were a couple StratoShop contests that went bust awhile back--I guess the winner was someone not to their personal liking, or something.

I'm glad that Dolphins are still a fav pattern of TT--maybe I should put that link back up for that great music site with the Dolphin-theme!

i´m glad he still uses ESP, i heard a rumor he was using fender now. i don´t like fender guitars very much.

I do believe he uses a fender in studio.. But I'm not sure, if someone knows, feel free to contradict me

I was at the most polemic concert of stratovarius in 2003 in Piorno Rock Festival and he used a Fender Stratocaster. Or maybe abused at that time...

I'm pretty sure he uses ESP the most, especially the japanese ones

And don´t forget that he or Strato is supported by ESP.

well, i don´t know that either. maybe it´s in the new album´s booklet written down what he used ? i don´t have the new one.

From an another thread and before that from the booklet:

Timo Tolkki uses:
ESP guitars, Engl amps and cabinets and his brain (sometimes)

I saw his new axe up close. Very Cool! I would love to own a piece of Strato History like that! I liked Timo's new tone with the ENGL. I think he was running it with just the G-Force. He got a nice heavy tone out of it. His acoustic guitar sounded excellent. I may have to pick one of those up in the future. I think it was a Gibson?
