Unexpected new ESP KH2 day

[RaceU4her]

scored this today on craigslist for less than what some used LTD versions are going for. the strings dont look like theyve been played in 20 years and the fret board looks a little dry but overall its in great shape, after a good douching and a setup im sure it will be great. it sounded glorious, the emgs seem a little smoother and fatter than my other 81's. this is actually my first floyd equipped guitar, hoping i can get that vibrato down like CC with the bar

Missing the KH Wah?

Congrats and enjoy!

I want to see everyone else’s ESP’s now that I’m in the club, post them up!

Buz Mcrgrath sig model. A lowly LTD though :-(

Nice score. I used to have a '96 and regretted selling it because I reeeally like the extra thin flat neck profile. Hey I'll trade ya for this Helix!

 

[tpruitt]

I’m jealous. Hopefully you bond with it.
If not I’m sure it won’t last long here.

Nice score, I've always wanted one of those. I was in high school, a year or two into playing, when I first started seeing those in MF catalogs.

Ha, seeing them in the MF catalog was the first thing I thought of when I saw the ad, I still have some of those catalogs buried somewhere in my closet I’ll have to dig out. I used to want the Jackson’s in there

Nice! Cool that you got a deal on it.

Congrats. I love the KH-2’s. Here’s mine

I have a couple, including one for sale locally, but this one is my favorite - 2011 MII painted by Mike Learn.

And that's a beautiful score.. I wouldn't mind a KH2 at some point... especially if it's cheaper than most LTD's.

Looks great! Congrats man, I've loved those guitars since they came out.

Since they came out? You must be old!

I sure do miss the days of affordable pricing on ESPs and super great finds on craigslist.

I’ve had a few “too good to be true” finds lately, I am in an nyc suburb which I guess is a good spot. This apparently came from a wealthy persons estate who just wanted everything out and I happened to get lucky and see the ad first, sometimes the constant refreshing of the Craigslist tab pays off

I don't have any ESP guitars, but I have a 500 series Lynch Kami from '03, and my kid has an LTD EX-401 that we picked up for a killer price a month or so ago

I probably have one or two of them stashed somewhere as well.

I'm sure it's best if I don't look and see what a USA soloist or RR1 cost back then.

I’d guess the imports have caught them by now
