You are looking at a gorgeous guitar, an ESP 400 Series Stratocaster, manufactured in the mid '80s. There were a limited number of these 400 Series Strats made. I purchased this directly from the original ESP showroom in their NYC loft, when they opened up shop for full instruments here. That was in 1984 or 1985. This axe plays like dream. It was used very little, unfortunately (well, for me.. but fortunately for you!). The metallic candy apple red glossy finish is remarkable. Photos don't do it justice. This is in fabulous condition! (except for the strings... they need changing). Gorgeous Metallic Candy-Apple Red glossy finish, with only 1 eensy beensy scratch (see photo), and a ding you can barely notice. It was hard to even photograph those, they're so unassuming, but I wanted to give a honest representation of the instrument. Please look at all the photos. Anything on the body other than the 2 things I clearly marked are reflections. All electronics work perfectly. This was VERY lightly used in all the 32 years that owned it for (I'm original owner).The instrument is in perfect working condition. I'm not a tech-head, so I'm not going to run down all the features of a Stratocaster, but if you're reading this, you probably already know what they are. And if not, there's a wealth of info online about Stratocasters. But I'm not finding a lot about this particular series.. that's how limited it was. On all the Facebook guitar forums I've posted this, all the guitar tech heads and buffs agree that this 400 Series ESP model was one of the best ESP Strats ever made, if not THE best. This comes with a custom, well-padded ESP vinyl gig bag with a large accessories pocket. The left side's strap mooring ripped, but the piece is included. This can be fixed at a leather or shoe repair shop. The inside vinyl of the gig-bag around the head-stock area has corroded slightly ,so I suggest your repair as you desire, because some of the residue from that can get on the machine heads and the nut (some of it has, see pics). That can easily removed with a solvent, that I don't have.I will need a few more days to pack up, box and ship this... so PLEASE read this carefully: Although the shipping turn-around time states 3 business days (that was the largest parameter I could choose), BUT if you buy this you understand and agree that it might take me up to a week to get it in the mail going out to you because I have so much going on these next 2 weeks. I am not a full-time professional eBay'er, and don't have the opportunity to go to the post-office or FedEx all the time. Plus I need to acquire the shipping supplies, once this is paid for. I hope that's cool with you. I'm sure you will LOVE this axe and you will be the envy of other guitar players, and your fans will ooh and ahhh over it.Paypal only. Please pay immediately upon winning the bid or the Buy Now, or Best Offer, however it is being offered at the time. I've never shipped a guitar before, so I'm not sure which service I will be using, especially for international. I did have to pick a service by default. This will be meticulously and safely packed, and insurance will be included in the shipping charge. International buyers are responsible for the customs and tariff charges, if any.
