HIZAKI and TERU's ESP

Hizaki and Teru from The Versailles now has their own signature models.
ESP Maiden (Hizaki's model)
ESP Geki-Tetsu (Teru's model)
Previously, before they get these signature models, Hizaki will usually a Horizon-III while Teru used an Antelope. Both are customised though (e.g. Teru's Antelope features a H-H configuration instead of a H-S and the body is swamp-ash instead of alder).
The Maiden looks like a combination of Horizon-III and the Antelope. The unique feature of Maiden is that the frets are scalloped from 12th fret onwards. The body is made of alder, just like his previous Horizon-III. For Geki-Tetsu, it is basically a 'forested' ESP EX (explorer shape). Apart from shape, other specs remains relatively the same. Ash body, same Seymour Duncan pickups, etc...
If you wish to know more about the Versailles, you can always listen to them in Youtube. Some of you may find the way they are dolled up rather weird. Well, that's visual kei for you.
