As far as I know, Helmet have long played ESP guitars (though I'm sure not exclusively). I can remember being a young guitarist and lusting after an ESP Horizon like Page Hamilton played. If memory serves me correctly, he used DiMarzio pickups as well.

I think they've also used PRS guitars in the past as well.
