Re: New guitar anyone?
I too like the Iron Cross but I cant imagine paying that much for a guitar, though ESP guitars are very nice indeed. I would have considered buying it if only James had actually used Gibson to come out with the signature guitar because the Iron Cross that James uses onstage is actually a Gibson and not ESP.

He uses the ESP one now actually. and has been since later 2008. look at the cross on the 12th fret and the ESP logo on the headstock.

Re: New guitar anyone?
Hey thanks for bringing that to my attention Metfan91_, as I didn't realize that, good eye. But even still, I'd rather see James have Gibson make the signature guitar instead of ESP since his Gibson guitar was the one he used originally.

Re: New guitar anyone?
I notice that the other inlays on the ESP model seem to be flags while the inlays on the Gibson models seem to be simple rectangles.
EDIT: yes it's true. I found two other pictures:
