Hey guy Ive been offered a kh3 custom shop with the open book head stock and I am unsure about it. Its defently a proper esp but I own a bolt on version which I thought was a 24.5" scale but when I put the neck up against the custom NTB its the same scale which I thought should be 25.5".....so any info on this would be great Dan

Can you measure them properly with a tape measure?

Perhaps you are not sitting them exactly spot on to notice the difference in scale length?

That's a shame, would be nice if you had access to measure them both properly.

I see you're located in Australia. If you don't end up buying that KH3 NTB, let me know as I will take it. ;)

Sorry I can't be of more help. But it sounds like you need it there with you to measure properly man.

There was one on the Japan site last week for 90,000 yen ESP348. I was trying to remember who was looking for one here. Thought it might have been you :D

There was also a JH-1 that sold for 402,000 yen. Signed by the entire band and clear coated in one of the ESP custom houses.

Just checked again, NTB there now for 158,000 yen.

in theory the kh3 should be the same size as the kh2 vintage yeah?

Cheers mate, got a link to it? :)

Same scale, yes. Not sure if you can place them side by side to compare though, won't be accurate enough. It's only an inch in it. :D

If I had a bit more time, I'd put my KH-2 and KH-3 NTB side by side and take a pic... will try but can't promise as I'm on a very tight schedule...

You can get either 24.75" or 25.5" if ordering a CS. They have been a mixture of both depending on who's buying, but now both STD and CS neck-thru versions are spec'd for 25.5"

Great info. That explains seeing both of them around over the years. :)

**I knew you would come through with the goods. ;)**
