Condition Description

This instrument is in Grade B+ used condition with extensive cosmetic playwear and modifications throughout. The body and neck feature heavy finish peeling, surface scratches, edge wear, and prominent dings. The neck exhibits a slight high-fret rise (high-rise condition). With the bridge set flush to the body and action set to 0.07 inches (1.7 mm) on the 6th string, slight fret buzz occurs on the 6th string depending on picking strength. Fret wear is noticeable with indents, leaving approximately 60 percent fret height remaining. The bridge features roller saddles and appears replaced, as evidenced by mounting screw misalignments and filled 6-bolt screw holes underneath. Strap buttons are replaced with Schaller-compatible units. The truss rod is currently loosened almost completely, but retains full functionality and remaining range in the tightening direction. Includes a non-original hard case.

② Product Description

This custom-ordered ESP ST Type electric guitar is crafted with a solid ash body, a maple neck, and a dense ebony fingerboard with 22 frets. Estimated to be produced in the early 2000s, it features high-grade components including Gotoh locking tuners, a brass nut, and a versatile SSH pickup configuration. The single-coil positions feature Seymour Duncan SSL-1 pickups delivering crisp, articulate Stratocaster chime, while the bridge position houses a single-coil-sized humbucker offering focused midrange punch and drive. The instrument has a 25.5 inch scale length and weighs 8.11 lbs (3.68 kg). It comes with a non-original hard case.

③ History & Rarity

ESP is world-renowned for its Custom Shop luthiery, producing bespoke high-performance electric guitars for professional musicians since 1975. Custom-ordered instruments built by ESP during the early 2000s are highly prized for their individualized specifications, premium tonewood selection, and exceptional build quality. Because full custom builds from ESP carry premium price tags, unique second-hand models featuring custom appointments like ebony fingerboards and brass nuts are relatively rare and sought after on the global market.

  • Repair, replacement and legal guarantee

    We are a professional seller based in Japan. Almost all of the items we sell are used or vintage, and most are one-of-a-kind - we hold only a single unit of each item.



    For consumers habitually resident in an EU Member State - that is, if you are buying mainly for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession, and the consumer law of an EU Member State applies to your purchase:




    • If your item has a lack of conformity covered by the applicable legal guarantee, please message us through eBay before returning it. You may choose between repair and replacement. Where the law requires it, the remedy is provided free of the necessary costs to you.


    • Your chosen remedy may not be available if it is impossible, or if compared with the other remedy it would impose disproportionate costs on us. Because our items are used and one-of-a-kind, an identical replacement unit is often not available. If the conditions under the applicable law are met, you may instead be entitled to a proportionate price reduction, or to terminate the purchase and receive a refund. Termination may not be available for a minor lack of conformity.


    • If repair is carried out as the legal remedy, the seller's liability period is normally extended once by at least 12 months. The national law that applies to your purchase may provide a longer period, or a different system giving equivalent protection. We will tell you which rule applies to your purchase, and explain your choice between repair and replacement, before we provide the remedy.



    For buyers outside the European Union: the information above reflects European Union consumer law and applies where that law governs the purchase. Your purchase remains subject to the returns policy shown in this listing, the eBay Money Back Guarantee, and any mandatory rights that apply under the law governing your purchase.
