ESP The Mirage - 1995-1997 - Made in Japan

Fun, versatile guitar this, due to the neck pickup and bridge having individual coil tap toggles.  It also has a kill switch.  All are after-market mods and it has also had its body refinished.  Plays very well with super-low action.  Has had a very recent fret dress and the electronics fully rewired.

Bridge is a lovely high gain A8 handwound pickup by HJ Williams. Middle is I believe a Bareknuckle pickups Irish Tour. The neck is a DiMarzio rail humbucker., which splits.

It's a very fun guitar, setup with very low action and sounds very Jake E. Lee/80s rock, although coil splits very well, so is pretty versatile.

Happy to answer any/all questions and provide more pics, video or audio.

Model history here: https://www.axebition.com/electric-guitar/esp-mirage

This model has an original Floyd Rose tremolo.

£TRADED - no offers.  I am losing money on this at this price, which is a huge amount of guitar for the cash.

Fender HM 'Heavy Metal' Strat

I took this in trade out of curiosity - and I am very impressed.  It is set up very nicely, with super low action.  Pickups are all original, trem set floating, new nut fitted, strung with 9s.  Condition is generally very good, especially for its age, with the worst marks shown around the input jack.  Will include a padded gig bag.

Suhr Modern Carved Top in Trans Blue Denim/Slate

It's a Suhr.  It's great.  No dings or marks that I am aware of.  Really lovely guitar.  Spec shown in pics.

£3,000.

Jackson RR3 Made in Japan in Transparent Black with Genuine Jackson ABS case 

Lovely little guitar that is in very good condition (neck is clean) with only some minor marks on the back and the points a little dinged up, as per usual.  It's stock with SD pickups, etc.  I believe it's from 1998.

Some serious price drops. Utter bargains.
Ive seen the PRS Brazilians go for £3500. Wouldn’t be surprised if a bedroom dealer grabs it that low.

Bump.

Anybody for a brilliant, versatile Japanese-made shredder with that all-important old school ESP logo at an LTD price?

No lurkers want to offer on the ESP?

'By golly, it's a hard market' bump.

imalrightjack

ESP still for sale.

Silly low price for an MIJ ESP with OFR and high end pickups. What's going?

imalrightjack

@carlos - if it had no case, etc. i could understand. Meanwhile, people hoover up Mexican Charvels without cases… hmm.

Just wondering what the evidence is of its having been refinished?

I’m not sure when you mean by evidence and not sure what I can add. Why do you ask?

The link you posted says that see-thru red was an original finish option, so just wondering if there's anything that gives it away, cosmetically? At first I thought the solid headstock facing was the thing, but this one's the same:

Interesting, @nikolas7333 ;

Maybe I’m wrong. It’s just what I was told on an ESP group.
