Product Overview
I’m listing a few from my personal stash of mid-‘90s ESPs. These are from a great era of ESP when pretty much everything with the ESP logo on the headstock was a “custom shop” guitar. While they might be catalog models, the quality was identical to a similarly spec’d one-off true custom, they just had standardized specs.
There is nothing on the market you can get that touches this for even double the price, IMO. I sold a ton of ESPs as a dealer in the 90s, and I truly believe this is their “golden era”.
This is a mid-‘90s Horizon in honeyburst (looks more cherry) over ash body with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Stock specs include ESP humbuckers (equivalent to a JB/59 set), Gotoh bridge and tuners, jumbo nickel silver frets and abalone dot inlays. Thin U neck plays like butter.
Condition: Very good +
There are a few clear coat on the “binding” edge. Paint is intact and they are hard to see if you aren’t specifically looking for them. Frets are nearly perfect. A little honest finish wear on the back of the neck that comes from getting played in for 25+ years. Comes with plastic molded non-original case.
