About this listing
This is a true ESP Japan Custom Shop Skulls & Snakes (serial number 61167), built in the mid‑1990s during ESP’s golden era. This is not the mass‑produced George Lynch signature model. This is a Custom Shop one-off run hand‑airbrushed, with period‑correct premium hardware and ESP‑branded tuners. These Custom Shop builds are significantly rarer and often more desirable to collectors than the mass produced signature production models. The artwork is original, vibrant, and in excellent condition. The guitar features a Schaller Germany Floyd Rose, ESP tuners, a locking nut, and the classic Skulls & Snakes graphic. Serial number 61167 is stamped on the ESP neck plate, consistent with mid‑90s Custom Shop production. This is a serious collector’s piece - extremely hard to find in this condition.

Why this guitar is specialTrue Custom Shop buildHand‑airbrushed artworkRare non‑signature versionESP Japan golden‑era craftsmanshipSchaller Floyd RoseCollector‑grade condition As a George Lynch collector fan then I purchased the guitar in High-Wycombe UK around 1995-1996 and it is still in its original form. Nothing has been changed and it spend most of its life in a hard-case. Some visible minor wear and tear per the photographs due to ageing which is just visual / cosmetic. No functional issues.
