How much a tip-top condition ESP KH1's value in year 2012?
There is a KH1 for sale on Ebay at the moment with a nasty chunk missing out of the side of the fretboard.
If anyone is interested in taking a look, here ya go-

Yeah, and that's another guitar that shows up in three different auctions. The word is that the guitar is at a Japanese shop, and people will list it on ebay without owning the guitar. If it sells in the auction, the "seller" runs to the shop and buys it. Apparently there have been auctions won, but refunded because the guitar sold at the shop without the ebay seller realizing it.
That happens often. In fact I just bought a Les Paul on Reverb from ishibashi and put out a feeler for a NTB KH-1 and this is the one he came back with literally 5 mins ago. He also sent me pictures of that Ouija. It's pretty beat, there is a big chunk out of the horn.
Anyway a strategy I have now been using to weed out the flakey jap middlemen is if they are accepting offers, I will submit an offer based on the serial number listed or reference the exact picture in the auction. That way they come back and tell me the guitar was already sold without tying up my money.
I find that a lot of guitars from Japanese sellers are pretty beat up. I could never get a great reason why. I suspect it's because many people in Japan forego a hard shell case and stick with a gig bag. I was told the reason for that is because HSC take up too much room in the small apartments many Japanese people have.
Weird.
Can anyone tell me please? how much a ESP KH1 worth? Got a friend want to let it go, but I think the price is .... kinda expensive... one pickUP only... around USD$5,000.00 I think it's a bit over price....
Thanks!
You can have mine for US $3000, it's in mint condition. ;)
$5000 is around $3500 too much for a bolt on KH1 if you ask me. But it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.
Your friend won't get $5K, but he might get more than $1500 also. :D
If it's a neck-thru KH1, I'd value it around $2000-$2500 depending on condition of course.
Anymore details?
