here is another could be score from the guy i got my kramer neck from.
this is a vintage ESP body. the real deal not that LTD stuff.
ESP was once a parts maker/supplier in japan. they made bodies and necks for the likes of kramer, robin, schecter, to name a few. through high influences of the likes of george lynch they started to make their own guitars. ESP was a very sweet playing guitar
and the real ones bring a small fortune to the pockets of the owners of the vintage guitars at the time of sale, or, real big smiles on their faces for those that choose to keep them. most do keep them. here is a few pics to show you the body im thinking about getting.

this body has been put to work over the yrs as you can see in the pic's. but for $100 or so bucks i dont think i can pass it up. imo its worth more than the asking price.
what do you guys think?

if you noticed, those are only paint chips and not dings on the body.
im thinking a floyd, warmoth neck, Dimarzo PAF in the bridge and a nice warm single
in the neck w/chrome cover for now, until i can find a vintage neck for this thing.
(good luck to me on that one)

Not bad for $100! Sounds like a fun project too. :)

its still up in the air if i buy it or not. these are great bodies and i
like the pickup layout. i would like to get this as close to an original 80's ESP as possible.
i dont own one but have played many.
