    Trade a Truckster vs a KH-DC

    Hi guys,

    Would hear about your feedbacks, I'm about to deal a trade between my ESP Truckster Black (JH Set) as new, and a MINT ESP KH-DC Cherry, this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/401038421518?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    But the seller ended the auction as soon as we begin to trade ...

    I think I'll get as much power, and vintage sound as I used to get from the Truckster with its JH Set.

    What are your opinions mates ?

     

    Thank's,

    Guillaume.

      It's a 2012 issue, ESP made them in Signature Series this year, for a market value of ~2400$, they discontinued the series and made it available only on Custom Shop order for 5k$ ...

                Hard to tell but doesn't look like there is a signature series logo on the back of the headstock which makes me believe it's a 2013 the year they didn't have a logo on the back of the headstock.  Should have a serial number that starts with k so I would believe it is a custom shop version.

                  BTW, the seller don't want to ship it to France... So the deal is over for me...

                    Change is good and you would be getting a good guitar in return if you like it so go for it.

                        I don't like my KH DC, but I would still swap an ESP Truckster for it as I like them even less.

                          The original link you posted was a 2013 custom shop. It was sold from. Sweetwater for like $5k and looked like the owner sold it for $1700 which would be a huge loss however the seller lives close to Sweetwater it appears and sells a lot of gear do who knows the true story. That would have been a good trade. The SS series the prices are pretty stagnant. I see guys having trouble moving them in the low 1s. You may be able to do better buying outright.

                          Another way to tell the difference  is the SS doesn't have a first fret inlay and the K does. Having both versions, I find the workmanship on the K a lot better but mine is from japan.

                            Hi Big D. 

                            Yeah my first link was a wrong one, I thought it was the one I was dealing ... This one was a very great deal but she disappeared quickly ... 

                            I was aware about the difference between the K and the SS 

                            I don't know what to do with my Truckster ... I really LOVE that guitar, it's a beast of power and versatility. But it has the value of a Hammett's guitar like a KH-3 or a DC ... I am waiting for the good opportunity... Or I can sell it now and keep money for my Holy black Ouija that I miss so much

                            Thank y'all for your answers,

                            See ya.

                              Even that first one, the K serial went thru a few auction cycles before it sold. It's not a very popular model. There was a guy on here recently selling a original black Ouija. Not sure if he did already.
