Condition
This is a well-played vintage example showing noticeable signs of use and age. There are numerous scratches, dents, finish chips, buckle marks, and areas where the wood is exposed. The bridge and other gold hardware show significant tarnishing, oxidation, and finish wear.
The frets have approximately 70% or more remaining with no significant localized divots. The truss rod is adjustable in both directions. The electronics have been tested and the pickup and controls function properly. The Floyd Rose tremolo remains functional despite cosmetic corrosion.
The original-style hard case shows wear, dirt, and some peeling of the covering, but remains usable for storage and transportation.
Notable Feature: This is the rarer early version of ESP's famous Takamizawa Angel Guitar, featuring the distinctive sculpted angel body and unique hand-shaped fretboard inlays.
