Note: This recent serial number was built with stainless steel frets, confirmed by ESP customer service (screenshots of our correspondence above).
Currently wearing 10.5-48 gauge strings and tuned to E-Flat, this guitar sounds absolutely killer in standard as well as drop C#.
Sadly letting this go to fund some unrelated expenses, at least I have a good LTD to help me get by m/
I’m calling its condition excellent without hesitation. There is only minor play wear – no scratches, dings, cracks, bumps, or anything like that.
Comes with various goodies in the case including the original inspection card from Sweetwater.
Fyi – The body is noticeably smaller (and pointier lol) than a standard Explorer and hangs fine on a strap in my experience. The neck profile is a bit chunky (the 3-piece maple feels very solid/stable though), so it’s not the ultra thin shredder neck one might expect.
Willing to ship, but I’m more than happy to negotiate the price with anyone able to meet within an hour drive of Edison, NJ for pickup!
Thanks for looking
