LTD V-500 - $700 (Sacramento)
QR Code Link to This Post
ESP LTD V-500 in gloss black, made in Korea and equipped with a pair of EMG humbuckers. These Korean-made V-500s were produced during the transitional period after Dave Mustaine left ESP, and many players consider them to be very closely related to the earlier Mustaine signature V models in terms of design, feel, and overall vibe.
This guitar has been cleaned, restrung, and is ready to play. The EMGs deliver exactly what you’d expect: tight low end, aggressive mids, and plenty of output for metal, hard rock, and anything requiring a focused high-gain tone.
Condition is very good overall, but there are a few cosmetic issues worth noting:
* Small chip on one of the lower V wings (pictured)
* Small indentation on the back of the neck (pictured)
* Small indentation on the upper body (pictured)
* Light handling wear consistent with age
The neck plays well, the electronics function properly, and the guitar presents nicely overall. No case or gig bag is included.
Features:
* Made in Korea
* Gloss Black finish
* Neck-through construction
* EMG active humbuckers
* Rosewood fingerboard
* 24 frets
* Tune-o-matic bridge with string-through-body design
* Classic V body shape
A great opportunity to pick up one of the higher-end Korean LTD V models from an era that has developed a strong following among ESP and metal guitar enthusiasts.
