Anyone recognize this Kahler-equipped ESP Flying V ?

[thez0r]

also no bevels and missing a control for the SPC?

The edges are beveled... assuming we are referring to the same thing.

The inlays scream BC Rich but the headstock looks like an ESP, or perhaps it's a BCRich with a re-shaped headstock?

Does the neck/headstock appear to be modded or re-painted?
The control cavity looks like a BCRich as well.

The thin body shape is throwing me off. It might have been shaved down maybe???
It might be a no-name import copy of a BCRich as well? It's hard to say really.
Does it have a serial number anywhere?

Schecter also used those diamond inlays on some of their guitars.

Atleast it's not plywood, so it's worth fixing up that's for sure.

The BCR community has been most adament that its not a BC Rich of any kind. I've seen the same diamond abalone inlays on some ESP fretboards... that plus the headstock shape looks closest to ESP. Don't see any evidence its been modified.

Luckily no plywood body. The guy I got it from said it has a "flamed maple cap on a Honduran mahogany body and hard maple neck". It definitely does not feel like a cheap import.

No serial number anywhere though... unless its hiding under the Kahler hybrid.

My Kerry King ESP guitars for refrence. The one with eagles is a 99 and the one with diamonds only is a 91.

Thanks.. those look awesome. I was pretty sure KK's sig V's are always King-V body size.

My guess would be either a Vinnie Vincent prototype or a KK Downing prototype?

Sure I've seen one of these on the Edwards/ESP site a while back buck can't find it on their now. They've updated the site since I was last trawling through it.
