EDIT: WILL SHIP IN AN IBANEZ GIG BAG!
An extremely rare guitar made between 1997 - early 1998, when LTD's were briefly made in ESP's Japan factory. A very beastly sounding guitar with stripped-down specs to keep the price down but the quality high.
Swamp ash body, maple neck (with some very nice figuring), 22 frets, Tune-o-matic stop-tail bridge, H-S pickup configuration, and black hardware.
There are some flaws, such as a sizable chunk of the paint being chipped off on the lower horn, your usual road wear (dents, scuffs, dings, etc). There's also a visible finish crack going down the body going down the front and back of the guitar, but from what I can tell, this has to do with the guitar being a multi-piece body. The guitar feels extremely stable.
The guitar has several upgrades:
The stock nut was low, so it was replaced with a Tone Ninja self lubricating nut. While the height and string spacing is perfect, the width is a bit too wide, so you'll feel it stick out a bit. Still perfectly playable.
The stock pickup was replaced with an EMG 81 in the bridge and H in the neck. A huge improvement over the generic stock pickups.
The shitty stock tuners were replaced with locking tuners that do the job perfectly. Makes string changes a breeze.
