Absolutely awesome guitar and my favorite LTD that I've owned. Neck is straight as an arrow and the playability is fantastic, especially with the smooth satin feel on the neck. Fretwork is particularly stellar on this one. This guitar is very rare at this point, especially in this condition. No longer in production after Andy James made the switch to Kiesel, then BC Rich. Probably will regret selling it due to this fact, but my collection is one-in one-out at this point. Guitar is in excellent shape with no chips, dents, deep scratches, buckle rash, etc. Just shows slight wear near the bridge where my hand was sitting. Maybe a few superficial marks typical with a satin finish that's seen mild use, but it looks and feels close to new. Bedroom guitar, never gigged with. All stock, never modified with the exception of the upgraded Schaller strap lock buttons that are included (see added photo). I can include the original buttons as well. Comes with brand new ESP padded gig bag. Just performed a fresh setup/cleaning/oiling on it with 9-46. Just let me know if there are any questions.

I have a few other active listings as well if you feel like checking out some other high-quality gear.


Manufacturer's Description:


The ESP LTD Andy James AJ-1 Signature Electric Guitar puts all the sustain and punch of the monumental guitarist within reach. This signature guitar, by the man behind the great guitar work of Sacred Mother Tongue, has features geared towards modern heavy metal. It starts with neck-thru construction that combines maple and mahogany for endless sustain and continues with playability that's maxed out with a thin U neck contour, rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets. 2 active EMG pickups with brushed steel covers are powerful and versatile enough to require just a single Master Volume and 3-way Toggle to get the right sound. LTD locking tuners and a tune-o-matic bridge keep intonation tight.
