A one-owner instrument purchased new at Matt Umanov Guitars in Greenwich Village, NYC, the ESP 400 series guitars feature top-notch fit and finish work, faithfully capturing the look and sound of their American counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTonewoods align with vintage Fender spec, and this ESP features an alder body and a maple neck capped with a slab rosewood fretboard. The original trio of LH800 pickups deliver a bevy of classic Strat-style tonalities: the bridge is spanky and clear, the neck has a bell-like girth, and the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch have a hollow quack. This ST465 weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally dialed in here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Shape: Slender C, measuring .790” 1st fret, .875” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, 9 1\/2“ radius\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Frets: Slender, hint of wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Tuners: ESP Deluxe single line\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Serialization: Five-digit serial on neck plate, “Matt Umanov Guitars New York” decal on back of peghead\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Wood: Alder\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Pickups: LH800 single coil x3\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Harness: Untouched solder, full-size Japanese pots\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Hardware: Six-point vibrato\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Plastics: Three-ply pickguard, knobs\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCosmetic wear on the gloss Black finish is limited to very minor buckle worming on the back and just a scant few minor marks on the body as a whole.
