lol, look what i stole off craigslist!

[DevilJaw]

features,
set neck construction; 24.75” scale; mahogany body; 3-piece mahogany neck; ebony fingerboard; anniversary inlay; EMG 81/85 active pickups; volume & tone controls w/3-way toggle; black hardware; Grover tuners; Earvana compensated nut; tune-o-matic bridge w/string-thru-body; 24 XJ frets

swapped the 81 with the 85, clean it up and put some new strings on and i was in love.

the price was nuts, $350 US, this is my 2nd time getting an 30th anniversary model from craigslist, the first one was a b-2005 bass, for $500.

sonds kool?

Damn yous!

I always wanted a 30th anniversary LTD guitar... i really wanted the les paul model, but this one looks pretty damn cool as well.

 

[RockGuitarX]

Looks pretty evil!

Some black electric tape over the horrible logo on the headstock and it's one of the coolest metal axes ever. I had a hard time deciding between a 30th anniversary EC or the EC400. Got the 400 instead, but the anniversary models are cool as fuck.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, sweetness dude - however, a word of warning: my housemate/co-guitarist has an LTD Viper Baritone with the same satin black finish, and HOLY GOD does that shit dent/ding easily, you gotta be so freakin' careful with it! Good find though dude!

 

[DevilJaw]

im still having a hard time believing i got it for that price, the guy who sold was such a noob, he did not know what he had in his hands.

but i got a ec500 already, so the viper just completes the set.

i got this ltd b-2005 anniversary bass too a few months back for $500, the thing was brand new, never used, came with a case, the guy said he won it in a gameshow and he was going to learn how to play it but decided to sell it.

so the way things are going its likely in a few months a ec anniversary should pop, lol.

your a pile of doo doo!

 

[jrt12]

nice! you even got a better deal than me. I stole one off ebay a year ago for $400 (case included) in excellent condition. want to change out the pups to 81/85, but havent gotten around to it yet moneywise... too many toys in the queue first.

anyways, someone mentioned putting black tape over the logo... and i agree with that. but wondered if there was a better way to remove the logo on the headstock. one thats not destructive or completely obvious that a big piece of original finish was removed. anyone?

Got my ESP Horizon Custom from the bay years ago for $450.

Best.
Deal.
Ever.

 

[abyssofdreams]

what's wrong with the logo, I like it on mine

 

[jrt12]

the logo is def not a deal breaker for me, i just love the dark, understated look of the rest of the guitar, and i feel the logo on the headstock throws it off.

i mean come on, if you took the logo off, nigel would be asking you how much more black can you get? none... none more black

 

[cobrahead1030]

nice guitar

ya know oddly enough, i had one of those for months that i couldn't give away for $375 shipped!!! great guitar really, i just needed to fund some other gear

 

[jrt12]

i'm an idiot, i just realized youre talking about the viper anniversary model... sorry, i've got the f series anniversary guitar. thats what i get for trying to sneak onto the site while at work does that model come with 81's in both slots? i wondered why esp did that on the f series, instead of the standard 81/85. just trying to be different or something?

 

[wishtheend]

Nice score. I actually had a B2005 stolen from me a few months back. I absolutely loved that guitar, and the ebony fretboard gave such an awesome tone. I've tried to find one used but have had no luck.
