Estimated value of this ESP KH-2 Bolt-On (from 1998, Custom Guitars)

Updated February 10, 2019 06:15

I got this ESP KH-2 with a bolt-on neck, made in Japan from 1998. It looks like it was played only a few times and left in the case since years. It has the old combination of EMG's 81's in neck and bridge as far as I can say (old EMG logo). There is nearly no damage at all, except for the splitted paint at the headstock. Only hairlines on the body and no real bumps. What do you think? What value does it have at the moment?

And I have some more questions:
- Are those marks for the each fret normal? Can someone confirm?

- This part looks a bit weird at the neck. Normal?

I think it's worth around US $1700. US $2000 on a good day. Smile

Your ridiculous watermark aside, this photo shows the nut resting on the shelf cut into the fingerboard wood. The other shows the wood filler used to cover the fret tang. Both are completely normal.

I suspect ESP 348's price range is pretty generous. I'd say $1200 USD for a run-of-the-mill, bolt-on KH-2.
