What ESP is this?
I have this guitar which I have been playing for a few years and I really don't know what model it is. It's similar to the Lynch model "M-1" but I don't believe it is one. The back of the headstock just says "Made in Japan", there is no serial number on the neck plate, any ideas?
Thanks!
That's definitely an older build judging by the unfinished headstock, the old school M-1 logo, knob placement on the body, etc. I'm guessing its from the 86-87 era, cause that's more of a Mirage style body than an 's' style. It's possible that its from the 48th St shop as well, but ESP won't be able to tell you much about guitars from that era... apparently their records were lost (in a fire?) IIRC.
i'd say an M-1 with a lynch tiger finish.
it's likely that it would have sayd "Custom" on the headstock if it were one.
