For sale is an ESP made, top of the line Killer KG-Prime.
This guitar is best known as the Akira Takasaki (Loudness) guitar.
As this guitar is not available outside of Japan (at least officially), let me first clarify the different versions of this guitar.
The entry level model is referred to as the Pirates MK-II, the mid-range model is known as the Exploder/Stallion, and the high-end is known as the KG-Prime.
Here is the way to identify - Pirates MK-II has a neck plate, the Exploder/Stallion does not, and the KG-Prime has no neck plate, and is the only guitar that has the deep insert neck joint (see the little part beneath the neck humbucker - that is part of the neck).
Only the KG-Prime is made in the ESP factory by ESP luthiers. The others are imports.
There are a few versions of the KG-Prime - what you are seeing here is one of the early production type models the one with the Tone control knob, and birdseye maple neck, just like Akira's in the "You Shook Me" music video.
This guitar is in exceptional condition - all original parts (Killer Dynabyte Pickups, Floyd Rose Original, no chips, dents, only light picking scratches that can be buffed out with polish.
Due to Covid-19, I cannot ship to some parts of the world - please send me a message if you are interested in the guitar, and we will work together to figure out the best shipping method.
Comes in Killer hardshell case.
