Excellent condition with original plastic still on hardware, very little play time as this was kept in storage as a backup for another.  Non-smoking home.  I don't think you can find a cleaner version of this guitar.  Finish is starting to come off the 3 knobs from age / not use; these are easy to find and cheap to replace.Const/scale: Neck-Thru-Body / 24.75"Body: Mahogony w/ Quilted Maple TopNeck/FB: 3-Piece Maple / EbonyNut-Type / Width: Graphite/ 42mmNeck-Shape: Thin UInlays: Pearl FlagsFrets: 22 XJBinding: White (N/H), Natural (B)Hardware: Black NickelTuners: Sperzel LockingBridge/Tailpiece: Tonepros T3B-T & T1Z LockingPickups: (EMG 81 (B) / 60 (N) ActiveElectronics: Vol / Vol / Tone / ToggleColor: STBLKBasically the ESP custom shop's take on the Les Paul Custom with some modern improvements.Comes with original hard shell case.  Local pickup in Dallas TX is welcome.To provide some context on the price, this guitar listed for $4,329 in the 2005 catalog and prices of ESP guitars have increased significantly since then. The ESP Custom series of the past are comparable to the current “Original Series”. I have seen list prices of the Original Series Eclipses in the range of $7,499 to $8,798 and street / selling prices from $4K (blue color) to $5,500 (black color) on Amazon / sweetwater / musicians friend. I would also argue that the neck thru feature of my guitar would generally be more desirable than the set necks on the current original series models and I personally prefer the all black look of mine compared to the current offerings.
