Walked in to my guitar store yesterday and saw this beauty hanging up on the rack for a killer $200 price tag. I always wanted a road worn fender but never bought one. A friend of mine has a vintage gold top les paul with beautiful natural aging and cracking. This reminded me of it. The aging on it is so nicely done and it has a lacquer style finish. The gold looks great. It is extremely light and it has a nice thin body. It plays great and sounds awesome. the last knob is a push pull knob. i never really looked at ESP before but man... I love this guitar. The wear is a lot better on it than other ones I have seen of the series. I guess I got a good one. it doesnt look fake. lol. Pictures...
