A legendary guitar of the Japanese metal world has arrived!
The presence created by the distinctive red deformed body and silver mirrored pickguard is unsurpassed, and this is ESP’s Random Star.
It is known that Akira Takasaki, the guitarist of LOUDNESS, a symbol of Japanese heavy metal, has been using this guitar since before the band was formed, as far back as the LAZY days.
The sound of the Random Star goes without saying, and when played through a blaring Marshall amp, it has that “sound” that makes the generation that listened to LOUDNESS in the 80’s nod their heads in agreement.
The sticky mid-range that seems to symbolize the era will surely capture the hearts of players who admired him!
Overall, there are scratches, dents, dull parts, rust, and other signs of use.
It is probably a pre-90’s model.
The PU seems to be genuine, but there is no ESP sticker on the back of the front PU.
Truss rod: plenty of room.
Neck condition: Good
Fretboard: Enough
Case: Soft case
Accessories: Arm
Serial number: 10040
Weight: 3,470kg
