ESP detectives needed! ESP strat?
ESP detectives needed! ESP strat?
these old 80's strats had vintage fret wire, its small, and I have seen a lot of them that are worn and no longer playable without a refrett. It very possible
that its an esp body, that had a worn out neck, or based on the pickups in it the previous owner may have just wanted bigger frets. Its not that much money for a
decent quality USA made replacement neck so if you don't have acess to a good luthier to replace the frets then it eaiser just to replace the neck. So thats my guess.
nope, the headstock is subtly wrong, the tuners are wrong, so are the decals on the headstock. looks like it might be a decent neck from the picture, maybe warmouth or something, made to look like an esp headstock. pickguard and pickups are not stock esp. it could maybe be a 400 series body with a replacement neck.
heres mine
heres what a custom shop headstock logo should look like from my custom tele
