This is an ESP LTD ST-203 Stratocaster-style electric guitar featuring a factory-distressed 3-Color Sunburst relic finish.

Powered by its factory original triple single-coil pickup set, it delivers articulate Fender-style chime, glassy intermediate positions, and broad tonal versatility across all genres.

The guitar features an authentic factory relic finish—meaning the wear, aging, and finish distressing were intentionally applied by LTD at the factory to mimic decades of natural stage wear. All hardware remains in excellent condition, functioning reliably with solid tuning stability.

Neck, Frets & Electronics: The neck is straight, the rosewood fingerboard is clean and hydrated, and the frets show minimal wear with plenty of life left for smooth bends. All original factory electronics operate flawlessly—all three single-coils yield bright, clear, noise-free signal output, and all potentiometers turn smoothly.

With its fresh set of D'Addario extra-light strings, medium-low action, and vintage aesthetic, this ST-203 plays great, stays in tune, and is completely ready to be used right out of the box.
