Roadhouse USA:
1987 Vintage ESP Custom The Phoenix Guitar in Neon Orange W/OHSC-Rare!
Another incredible rare vintage ESP!
This one is The Phoenix and it is all original.
Serial #900.
This guitar was either a custom order or built for an artist as the Orange finish was not a standard color offering.
Excellent vintage condition with just a few small paint chips in the finish.
Bound neck and fret board, it plays great and shows very little fret wear.
ESP branded Floyd Rose trem.
Comes with original form-fit case which is as rare as the guitar itself.
Again, if you are an ESP collector, finding another like this is a near impossibility.
