1996 ESP Mirage Superstrat SSH Trans Red w/ Floyd Rose, Hangtags

Up for sale, a 1996 ESP Mirage in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with original factory paperwork. The Mirage is one of ESP’s most lauded and highly malleable Superstrat platforms, and this particular example features an ash body, maple neck with a reverse headstock and 22 fret slab rosewood board, genuine Floyd Rose tremolo and an SSH pickup complement.

Pickups include an ESP LH-150 humbucker in the bridge position, dishing out plenty of output, heat and fluid cut, while the ESP SS-RI-120 stacked single coils at the middle and neck positions deliver hum-free performance that’s ideally suited for bold, spanky cut. This Mirage weighs 8lbs 4oz and benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
