ESP Eet Fuk Custom Shop Explorer Possible?
ESP Eet Fuk Custom Shop Explorer Possible?
its simple how shamray and others do it. you place an order for a guitar however you want and they aren't explicitly stopped from selling those types of guitars by gibson, so they make it to whatever specs you desire. $ talks. if you're going for a total custom job, get one you design yourself instead of copying james. as much of a fanboy as i am, that kinda money you should at least get your own inlays
So do you actually have to live in Japan to get the mx design or do you just have to order it from the japan site or shop?
You have to find a shop in Japan willing to order the guitar to your specs, and then ship it to you in the US. ESP itself won't be much help, you'll have to find a dealer to work with directly. Your guitar will also essentially have no warranty so keep that in mind, especially with all the issues people have had in the custom shop lately. It would suck to lay down four or five thousand and get the wrong specs.
Well I have three ESPs with the 5 digit serials: 28XXX, 35XXX, 37XXX. The youngest is from 2001 and the oldest from 1997. Kind of hard to fit a 59003 in between, but I'm not exactly sure how they counted. On my ESPs the serial is stamped on the bottom of the neck plate, like in your first pictures.
Hope that helps.....
