Up for sale, a 1984 ESP Craft House TE Series model in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This Tele-style guitar features an ash body and a one-piece birdseye maple neck, weighing 7lbs 14oz and yielding a lively, resonant acoustic response with great articulation and a certain midrange heft inherent to ash. These pickups are quite punchy and full-sounding, particularly the neck pickup, which meters 6.4k ohms and has full midrange and great clarity. The bridge pickup is spanky and twangy, metering 7k ohms, with tight, snappy low-mids. This ESP has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The satin finish has an open pore feel, highlighting the extremely dynamic grain of the ash body. Cosmetic wear is limited to just a scant few tiny nicks and scratches on the body as a whole. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is immaculate and highlights the birdseye figuring, particularly prominent along the treble shoulder.

The original ESP-branded faux leather gigbag is included.
