really dont want to do this but needs mustfor sale is an utterly brilliant guitar, an esp ltd ec-500, its very rare u even see the ec-500 model these days and at gigs ive had countless offers for this guitar but at the time never needed to or wanted to sell it!!guitar is in great condition apart from the 2 lacquer cracks you see in the photos and noted in the item condition description! guitar had a full overhaul, and the insides wer stripped out, it was replaced wit the genuine EMG wireless install kit, so there is no soldering in this guitar its all just quick connect, makes life so much easierat the moment the guitar is fitted with custom active pickups i had made which cost me 115 alone, but i do have emg 81/60 or the james hetfield emg's which i could fit to the guitar but it all depends on what you prefer or how much u offer etc, so if making an offer please add in the notes what pickups you prefer in the guitar, or mail me if you likeplay-ability on this guitar is brilliant, personally for me everything feels so effortless to play, the neck is simply stunning and its very close to being the best guitar ive ever owned, only reason for sale is basically due to unforeseen expenses i need the money, simple as that, if i didnt need the pennies there is no way in hell i would even consider selling this guitar! i currently own an esp/ltd ec-1000 which retailed at over £1000 n id say the ec-500 blows that out the water easily!!!uk only or i might consider Europe, but mail first, payment to be made same day as auction endsfell free to mail if you have any questions, thanks
