Hello! Up for sale is an awesome Horizon I am saddened to list. This is a big favorite of mine. It has HUGE sound and fantastic playability. It's a 1989 Horizon Custom in what I believe is gun metal blue, maybe another blue, either way, it's a beautiful blue that photos don't do justice.

To get it out of the way, the tip of the headstock broke off and was professionally glued back on. I wouldn't horribly knock the guitar because of this since nothing about the tip is structural but I understand how it would bug someone that such a thing happened. It does seem somewhat a common break on these from what I've seen. Aside from that, for a 36 year old guitar it has some other knicks and dings that are all shown in photos. Everything is purely cosmetic.

This 24 fret, ebony fretboard, neckthru, beast is true to the legend that is the ESP Horizon. When I first plugged it in I was blown away by its sound. I believe its bridge pickup is the original LH-200 while the neck seems to be a Seymour Duncan JB Jr. The pots and solder in the cavity look original to me but I don't think the JB Jr. was a stock neck pickup in these. I just want to be as descriptive as I can.

This also has the Sinclair Tremolo with the hard to find accompanying bar! No need to go seek one of those unicorns out, this one has it! I had to replace the trem pivot studs with a Wilkinson set that seemed to do the trick. I will also provide the Wilkinson studs if you ever feel like fully replacing those pieces.

I have it setup currently with 10s in D standard. Please do keep in mind I am a home player, collector, and hobbyist, so you'll need to tweak to your preferences of play with your preferred gauges, string height, etc.

It ships with its original hardshell case, comes with strap locks, truss rod tool, allen wrenches, case key.It will be packed excellently for safe travel.


Thank you for looking and please reach out with any questions!!
