1980's ESP 400 Series Strat

Nice mid 80’s ESP 400 Series Strat-style. Alder body with a pretty teal, blue-green poly finish with a few small scuffs & nicks but no serious dings. Really nice medium C maple neck with medium frets and beautiful rosewood fingerboard. Great sounding pickups, a bit in the Texas Special style. Excellent workmanship and high quality components throughout.

Guitar is in very good overall condition. Does not include the tremolo arm. Hard case, possibly original, is included.

Would be a lot better with a maple board, but it looks OK....


I like the color.

 

[CBHScott]

Ya know, I think I may have seen this sort of guitar before...

 

[Punchy]

I like it.

 

[Chad]

i'm going hot because the local guitar shop when I was in college had one and it was the best playing strat I have ever played. I would rather have a maple board though and a tort guard wouldn't hurt.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Pretty nice guitar, right there.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

It's a Strat. Looks good. Most likely plays good. Therefore ok in a pinch.

 

[Stratguy]

I love that color, and if the pickups were good, I'd consider it.

 

[Tig]

I like it. They are supposed to be excellent guitars but $875 is a little high.

Ah, but I love this one for $700:

I suppose it's nothing special, but I like it

 

[Modern Saint]

That be a strat. Pass on this one.

A nice Strat copy that they want too much cash for. And I'm not a Strat guy....and I have tried.

In general, I'm not a Strat guy. I like the color. Very sharp.

...strat...

 

[Muppet]

Oh look, a Strat.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

That's a great looking Strat and those were great guitars. I wouldn't want to pay that price either, but I'm sure it's quite nice.

It looks nice, but with the exception of certain 7 & 8-string super-strats, I'm not into Strats, so I'll pass on this. The local Music Go Round had an ESP Tele copy that also (like this Strat) very nicely made.
