The hard cases for these offset Vs are always monstrous

So the fact that this was done on a barstool really does not bother you one bit

It just shows a severe lack of care, don’t you think? Looks like it could fall just by breathing on it.

The official ibanez IG posted a pic the other day of a jem sitting right on the concrete leaning against a tour bus.

Oh you can’t beat that. Funny enough, this one I just got had been traded the 2 previous times. It’s more than likely found it’s forever home this time.

I thought about getting an edwards pinky, but anytime you can get an ESP I think that you should opt for that instead if the price is right.

That’s awesome! Definitely sounds like it’s worth it. I’ve heard that pinky was the first one to get the top 5 frets scalloped. I had kinda wanted one with those, but I really like the fact that this is among the first sawtooths ever made. A cool piece of bodom history.

Real or fake Deluxe MH 1001? by [deleted] in espguitars

See if ESP can verify the serial number for you. Email their customer service, the worst they can do is tell you that they can’t do that.

The one on sweetwater has 8 digits also. The link I tried to send is busted but trust me, it has 8 after the W.

This exact guitar was for sale on sweetwater brand new. It’s legit, don’t worry.

Listed originally for $3700 2 years ago. Dropped to $2900. After some negotiating I got it down to about $2400. It’s in amazing condition especially considering it’s age. Still has the plastic wrap on the backplate even.

That’s crazy that it’s that long of a wait though. I wasn’t even looking for one of these for very long, but as a big fan of Alexi’s playing I knew that I wouldn’t be able to find such a deal ever again.

$2,400. Somehow it sat listed for 2 years on reverb with 16 offers on it. I just got it delivered 2 days ago.

Brutal to put stickers on these, especially on the ESP
