ALMOST LIKE NEW. The guitar has obviously been played very little and has remained in an excellent condition. Apart from some minor surface playwear, mostly on the rear body side, there are no cosmetic issues with the instrument. Technically, the guitar is just flawless. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- A classic ESP model within the ESP Vintage Series, with absolutely professional features and an outstanding price-quality relation.
- Finish: 2-Tone Burst, with vintage white pearloid pickguard and chrome hardware.
- Body: Alder - for best resonance, especially on distorted sounds.
- Neck: Maple, 1-piece. Bolt-on neck construction - this enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, "fat" tone.
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Maple, with dot inlays - this instrument looks just classic!
- Frets: 22, XJ (Jumbo) - with a perfect fretjob, another famous feature of ESP instruments.
- Headstock: ESP Vintage.
- Tuners: Gotoh Magnum locking tuners. Always requested by professional artists, these tuners are a must-have for the demanding musician. The key to their design is eliminating wraps around the string post, which can cause string slippage and tuning problems. Gotoh’s unique design automatically locks the string to the shaft while winding the tuning key (tuning to pitch) – better tuning stability and no more restringing nightmares.
- Bridge: Orig. Wilkinson Vintage Tremolo.
- Pickups: 1x Seymour Duncan SSL-1 (neck) singlecoil, 1x Seymour Duncan SSL-1 (middle) singlecoil, 1x Seymour Duncan SSL-1 (bridge) singlecoil - this classic combination is very versatile, dynamic, easy to control and with the typical strat sound.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
- Electronics: 1x volume, 2x tone, 5-way slotted switch.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes in a high-quality original ESP Vintage Series formfit hardcase with ESP logo.
