Up for sale is my trusty ESP LTD Elite Horizon III. The LTD Elite line was only available in 2014, and has since been supplanted by the E-II line, and it refers to the fact that the guitars are made in the same Japanese factory and by the same Japanese luthiers that build and tend to their straight ESP guitars.  It boasts a maple neck-through construction at 25.5" scale, alder body/wings, a flamed maple top, and an ebony fretboard. It has an original Floyd Rose Tremolo. I upgraded the pickups to feature a Bare Knuckle Miracle Man in the bridge position, and a handwound Avedissian Scythe in the neck.  At the moment, it is set up in Open B tuning (BF#BF#BD#). Originally, it had a push-pull coil-splitting pot installed in the volume knob, but I changed both pots to normal BKP 550k pots. I will include an extra push-pull pot if you would like to put it back to coil-splitting, however.  It is well-used. I have played live with it and even toured around with it for a spell. There are a few small scratches and swirls on the body that are not that noticeable and were hard to photograph. The only noticeable (albeit tiny) dings are in between the high E and B tuning pegs. I tried to photograph them to the best of my abilities. Prodigiously stickered hardshell case is included.
