29 – The ESP

The ESP LTD EC1000 Deluxe

This one came in bad shape! It hadn’t been played in a couple of years. When I tried to play it it was choking out all over the fretboard and had a cracked nut. Thestrings were so brittle that I was able to snap the 1st string just by lifting it up. 

So we tried to save the nut by cleaning up the guitar, polishing the frets, new strings and a decent set up but sadly, it didn’t stick and I needed to cut a new bone nut. 

Not the easiest thing to get your hands on at the start of a global pandemic… the shipping took forever! 

But anyway… lets get to some photos.
