ESP M-I Reverse
ESP M-I Reverse
Posting some pictures of my ESP M-I Reverse. I got this guitar around 1990 and it is still in a very good condition. It sounds great and has one of the smoothest maple necks I ever played. Think the pickups are a pair of Duncans, but not sure if they are original to the guitar.
Not much additional information to be found on this guitar, so if anybody have something to add, it would be much appreciated, e.g. similar models made, approx. value, exact year, etc. As you can see on the photos the plate on the back has JAF BOX 2125, New York, NY 10116 engraved in it, so I assume it was assembled in the ESP shop on 48th street NYC?
Awesome axe! I see it has the Synclair bridge too! I love that bridge, just as good as an OFR, at least all the ones I have played have been.
As for the 48th, if it has the plate chances are it was assembled in the 48th shop completely. If they guitar was a 48th custom made guitar, it had some form of 48th street written on the headstock instead of ESP. The 48th-plated ESPs were all ESP parts stock, just assembled in the shop, while the customs were ESP hardware, but completely crafted here in that shop.
wow, that's an awesome looking guitar!
