Chuck, you forgot to crop the headstock. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] j/k
That looks badass. I had an early ESP reverse pointyhead neck on a GMW for a while, and it was very nice. -

Re: I\'m An ESP Owner!
It just bleeds character and personality, too. It's been a player for years...LOTS of battle scars and wear. It's proof that the good ones get played, and the super clean older guitars are dogs.Comment

Re: I\'m An ESP Owner!
What pickguard material is that, and what color? Black mirror would TOTALLY make me beg you for that guitar... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
How would you compare it to your GMWs, Charvels, Jacksons, etc.?Comment

Re: I\'m An ESP Owner!
Just look at the tuners. Exposed gears is a certain indication of severe shredding. Thats a kick ass guitar Chuck. I love the LP style selector switch.Comment

'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is. ":JOSEY WALESComment

Re: I\'m An ESP Owner!
It's a matte black plastic that's pretty worn out to gloss, as you can see below the pickups.
The neck is a subtle V shape, very comfy. I like the neck shape a lot. It's a far cry from a Charvel shape, but I like the way it fills my hand without being fat. Medium jumbo frets with very little wear. The neck is finished, which may or may not stay. It's a rare guitar, and I don't want to hack it up.
Tuners are eighties era 90 degree Gotoh's - the same as on old Charvels. Obviously a couple of the caps are missing, but it doesn't affect them at all...kinda fits the overall vide of the guitar, actually.
Old surface mount Floyd with wood screw studs and spin in arm. Those old Floyds sound worlds better then the bushing stud models...that's the key to Floyd tone right there. Chrome is also important to my ear.
Alder body routed for two hums only, top mount under the guard, completely shielded with shielding paint and grounded, all shielded wiring.
The guitar is 100% all original, and the stock LH200 pickups sound great so far. I'll have my Marshall back this weekend and will be able to tell more then. Thru a POD and a computer, it really doesn't much matter what your playing.
It plays every bit as good as anything that I've owned, and it sounds better than 99% of everything I've had. Notes bloom and sing, the guitar just rings and resonates.
I'm really digging it. The seller has been waiting for me to buy this from him for over a year. He knew it was "my" guitar, and he was 100% right. He has another in his collection that he thinks should be in my hands, so I need to learn more! He's my dealer!

Re: I\'m An ESP Owner!
John, that switch...I had my doubts at first, but now that I'm burned in to the guitar (et: 24 seconds), I can switch it every bit as fast as a strat blade switch.
I guess it's the old real estate adage again: location, location, location.
Staples, it snowed here last night and the night before...if I'm snow-bound, there's no reason why you shouldn't be! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]Comment

Re: I\'m An ESP Owner!
Very good-looking ESP. Very classic, too, with the top-side output jack. Looks like it's got a 3-way switch. Does it do coil-splitting or coil-tapping?Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory.Comment
