ESP L-2.

[straycat]

Has any one ever seen one of these?I read about them years ago.Supposed to be a Lynch prototype,the body is the same as is the pickup layout.I picked up an old guitar mag the other day and there was an article about them but the pic had been torn out as was most of the article.

A couple of the LTD L-2s were just on ebay:

They're REALLY cheap guitars with questionable hardware. I'd keep looking for other guitars. They're on par with...well..., not even the Jackson DX line of guitars.

Re: ESP L-2.

I kind of figured that from looking at it closely.The price tag is a ridiculious 599.00.

Boy I'm suprised I didn't get reamed for the incorrect spelling in my last post.The neck was kind of Thin for a Lynch type guitar not as wide either.I guess if you were to upgrade the hardware it would be a good beater guitar for 150.00.

Re: ESP L-2.

Richard, if you're looking for an inexpensive Lynch, there's an LTD GL-500K for $345 buy it now that just appeared on ebay. I have one of these (and I also have the real ESP Kami II, III, & IV).
The LTD Kami is close to the ESP one. The body is very heavy and the neck width and thickness is more like the real thing. I'd say this is more of a Lynch 'match' than the L-2.

Re: ESP L-2.

I've had several of the GL 500Ks the necks are too wide for me.Thanks for the heads up a bud of mine is looking for one.I had thought about getting the L-2 just because the neck is smaller and doing a camo refin.

Re: ESP L-2.

Believe it or not they are pretty decent guitars, I own one myself.

Re: ESP L-2.

I don't play the hype game if it feels good and sounds good its a good guitar.My mutts are some of the best playes I've got.
