Up for sale, a circa 1990s ESP Custom Shop Arrow in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced by ESP’s highly lauded Takada Custom Shop team (T-prefix serial), this sleek ESP offset V is loaded with a pair of Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers wound by Maricela Juarez, current Seymour Duncan Custom Shop manager and pickup winding legend.
Weighing 7lbs 4oz, this guitar features a bolt-on maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fretboard. The early JB pickups offer a rich range of powerful tones, with full bass response, crisp and detailed highs, and an upper-midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords but translates to a singing, vocal-like quality when you play single notes or solos. This ESP benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .815” 1st fret, .910” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 22-fret, 16” radius
-Frets: Jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, locking
-Tuners: Gotoh
-Serialization: T-prefix (neck plate, Takada)
-Factory Markings: Maker’s marks in neck pocket
Body Specs:
-Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB humbucker x2 (JBJ, JBM stickers)
-Controls: Volume, three-way pickup selector
-Harness: Japanese 500K pot
-Hardware: Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo
-Plastics: Speed knob, switch tip
There are chips at the two body points (common on Vs), with some pick scuffing on top, shallow buckle wear on the back, and a few small dings and marks on the body as a whole consistent with use. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean, with a few shallow nicks along the spine that have been palm-buffed smooth.
A padded gigbag is included.
