  • NGD - ESP Mirage Custom

    Picked up another guitar for my revolving collection. This is an early Mirage Custom neck-thru with the pre-lawsuit Jackson headstock. Found this in a local GC after talking to Firebird V about it. This guitar is super clean for it's age, which should be 20+ years old. The guitar seems to be all original, but I haven't pulled the humbucker yet. The bridge is all original with the exception that the low E saddle was replaced with a standard Floyd saddle. The white pearl has yellowed very gracefully.

    Let me know what ya think - don't flame it too bad. I'm also thinking of swapping out the hardware for gold - any opinions?

    Well, here it is....

          Very nice! I don't know if I would go with the gold hardware. But it could make it more "yellowed" looking if that is what you like. IMO black/white is the way to go.

            Love the color! I prefer black hardware to gold, but either would look good on that.

                  Cool! I would keep black hardware on and add string retainer to fill those holes on the headstock.

                    I had to remove it to adjust the truss rod, but I do have it.
