here is an extremely rare Kamikaze Star from the ESP custom shop.
This is the signature model of a Japanese artist in collaboration with George Lynch. It is the popular Random Star shape with Kamikaze graphics and inlays from his 'Skull n Snakes' model. Other upgrades are Sperzel Trim-Lok tuners, and a Seymour Duncan Invader in neck position. Otherwise the basic spec is pure Lynch Kamikaze, hard maple body, 3-pc maple neck,
What's different about this though, is that it is a true Custom Shop model as denoted by the single 'S' in the serial number (meaning the ESP custom shop in Sado which specializes in bolt-on builds) vs the regular 'SS' production line models which stand for Standard or Signature series.
The standard series Kamikaze Star, which are no slouch either, retail for roughly US$4000 street, with a list price of about US$5500, if you can find one. It stands to reason these one-off custom builds cost even more than that, new, due to selection of premium tonewoods, the work of the best skilled luthiers, and the highest attention to detail. I'd owned a Lynch Kamikaze II, and the difference is perceptible.
For example, notice the beautiful grain of the 3P maple neck, and significantly, the 'kanji' lettering, the bombs, and the pilot portrait frame are in fact inlaid mother-of-pearl, as opposed to simply a flat white part of the graphic on the Standard series.
It has very minor signs of being played, light pick swirls in the light. No chips, dings, or dents.
It is in 95% mint collector condition. Original form-fitting ESP hardcase is also in excellent condition.
Mostly it has been kept in case in a climate-controlled environment.
Here is your chance to score a unique ESP custom shop instrument at less than half the price new.
Reasonable offers considered, but please do not send lowball offers, as i do not sell gear for a living, and it would be a waste of both our time.
