You can read what he exactly said below.
“There were changes at Ibanez, and people that we knew for years were gone. I also started to get involved with searching out this EverTune idea.
I wanted something more dependable. I heard ESP were the forerunners with putting that system on the guitar. Munky actually was the one who told me to check them out.
I have some off-the-rack ones that I bring on tour, and I have some custom ones. I have LTDs and, I think, two ESP customs. But they’re all very similar, and they play the same. I can’t tell the difference.”
