Notable users of models in the AX Series include Makro, Peter Scheithauer, and Robb Flynn.

ESP Edwards Series

edit

Edwards guitar series consist of very high quality copies of legendary guitars like the Les Paul, Telecaster, and Stratocaster, and also original ESP designs. The Edwards Les Paul, Tele, and Strat guitars are built specifically for the Japanese market, and are not sold in the US as they contravene Gibson and Fender patents; they can however be imported by individual buyers. Many prominent Japanese artists have Edwards series signature models along with a few International artists, such as Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, Anchang of Sex Machineguns, and Aiji of LM.C.
