It has been a privilege owning this guitar but I just don't find myself playing metal all that much these days. Great low action and a neck that fits like a glove. I believe I'm the 3rd owner of this guitar and it's in excellent condition. It really looks great and hard to believe it's over 10 years old. The finish has slowly started to turn to a beautiful cream color and there is some oxidation on some of the metal parts (mainly screws). Note the wear on one of the knobs and the minor defect on the 1st and 6th tuner posts (highlighted in pictures). There are no major dings, dents or scratches on the body or neck. I've highlighted some of the small specs on the binding near the fretboard. I'm not sure what that is but it's found along the binding on the fretboard on both sides. I suspect the fretboard wood may have been darkened and may have stained it but I'm not sure. I didn't notice it until a few months after purchasing and don't even notice it unless I'm looking for it. Overall, the guitar is setup great, plays smooth and looks stunning in person. It includes the ESP hardshell case. The case is in good condition but shows noticeable wear and has a broken latch. I've loved this guitar but it's time for me to part with it. If you have any questions, concerns or picture requests, please let me know! Thanks!
