ESP Explorer - What's it worth?

[BK]

Don't know much about this guitar, but here ya go:
-ESP Explorer (the classic Gibson shape)
-Bolt-on neck,
-'ESP-pickups' (don't know more about the pickups, but it doesn't really matter since I'm going to swap em with EMG's)
-Almost mint condition (9 of 10).

How much do you think this is worth?

Is it an actual ESP, or an LTD by ESP?

It's an ESP with the old style (Gibson) Explorer shape and not some pointy LTD-junk... [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

[edit] It also says Custom on the headstock

What finish? Any pics?

Re: ESP Explorer - What\'s it worth?

I only asked because before the 'pointy piece of junk' phase of the LTD, they made one exactly like an Explorer with the same headstock and body shapes to a 'T'. Gibson told them to change it as it was infringing on their design, so ESP/LTD changed the shape. These had bolt on necks, unlike any ESP brand Explorer I have seen which have set necks. They either made a bolt on ESP, or you have a special order, both of which I have no clue about.

I've only got some crapy pictures of it:




Jim Shine,
I remember that 'old style' LTD Explorer. Looked great, but it still had LTD on the headstock...

Anyway, I bought it for 7000 NOK +shipping, which is about USD 950. Hopefully I'll have it within a few days. I hope I didn't get screwed

I'll swap it with the guitar you have in your avatar plus $ 1200. And you pay the shipping. Do we have a deal? [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
