ESP Horizon 5-String Bass Made in Japan – Rare Japan Vintage Model

A rare 5-string Horizon from ESP's old Japan-made era – not an easy bass to find.

ESP's Horizon shape has a presence all its own, and this 5-string, 24-fret, 4-control example is from the old-school era, with the HORIZON logo on the body and MADE IN JAPAN stamped on the tuners. Very few of these old Horizon 5-strings turn up on the used market, so this is a good chance for ESP and Japan-vintage bass fans.

Why this one

Condition

Being an older instrument, the body and headstock show scratches, rubbing, dings and some paint chipping from use. The metal hardware (tuners, bridge) also shows dulling and wear from age. Please check all photos closely for the full condition.

Safe delivery from Japan
