I am the original owner of this instrument, which has been diligently cared for since it arrived to me. This guitar is virtually flawless. It has been a staple in my recording studio and has never left the confines of a climate-controlled room.It has one very small flaw, which is a tiny nick in the finish behind the top horn. Truth be told, it actually came this way directly from ESP in Japan. However, the top was so gorgeous I couldn't send it back and chose to ignore this small "birth mark".
 
Besides the aforementioned nick, this is a virtually perfect instrument. There's a little bit of expected wear on the black nickel finish of a few of the bridge saddles. These could easily be replaced or ignored, it makes no functional difference.This guitar has been consistently cleaned, oiled, frets polished, neck kept under perfect tension, and wood preserved in balanced humidity it's entire existence. I have babied this instrument it's entire life and would be honored to pass it on to someone else. It's unfortunate, but life has dictated that I must embrace some new chapters, which requires a little revenue and lightening up my resources. Let my loss be your gain.Feel free to contact with any questions or offers.
