    Hi guys! I used to live in Japan and bought a KH-1/MV-290 on Yahoo auctions about 8 years ago. My tastes in music and guitars have changed. (Plus a couple of kids...) I have the original ESP hard case but no COA. I am pretty sure that I am going to be selling this guitar, but am not sure where to price it. The problem is that I see LOTS of the LTD guitars and a sprinkling of the actual ESP guitars with bolt-on necks. So, I was hoping that some of you with more experience in the ESP signature guitars could at least help give me a ballpark. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few pics. Thanks, Ryan

              Sure. I'll get them up tomorrow. With all of the flooding near my house, I have been trying to manage the water all day. (No damage to the house or any of my guitars. - Yeah!!)

                      I paid US $1100 for a bolt-on KH1 in mint condition back in September 2011.

                      If your guitar is in mint condition, I would expect it would be worth around US $2500.

                      But don't forget, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. :o

                      Best of luck with the sale and again, do you mind sharing with us what you paid for it 8 years ago?

                        No idea what it's worth, but if you throw it on ebay, I'll be watching. I've always wanted one of those. Or, are you interested in any trades? I already have too many guitars, but I may have something else that would fir your tastes. What are you looking for?

                            Hello,

                            I am on the hunt for a KH-1!  I have nearly all KH models except this one. I will pay 10k for one in good shape. Please let me know if anyone has one they are willing to part with. 

                            Thanks!
