FS or FT:My ESP US custom shop

[Paramedic006]

Ok guys, I love this guitar but I miss my Fender American Strat a lot. I know I shouldn't but I like the feel of a Fender better. If anyone wants to entertain offers for either buying the ESP or trading a Fender Strat(must be USA made) I will be open to anything. The pics can be found under the southpaw showroom. Help me out guys.

I have a USA Strat, Montego I thinks it's called w/ maple fretboard. It was previously owned by Elliot Easton of the Cars...I have a letter from him and he signed the back of the headstock for me. I'm not certain if I want to part with this one but I'm might.

Hi there godwentpunk(BTW I like your screen name). It's funny you mention the color. I had an American Deluxe in montego black, maple fretboard, gold vinyl pickguard and I miss it terribly. Can you send me pics of it. I can send you better pics of the ESP.

Bill,

I can get you some pictures but it's going to take me some time. All of my guitars are stored in my kids closet so I need to unpack everything to find it. To be honest, I got it from Elliot, played it for a couple of shows and then cycled it out for a different guitar. I actually play all of the guitars I collect....just not at once.

I am really interested in your fender. I only own the ESP, I am strictly an amateur. Being a paramedic firefighter keeps me busy. I was a drummer most of my life. I look forward to dealing with you. I look forward to the pics.

[Paramedic006]

Come on, someone make me an offer-I really want a Strat. Trade it, buy it.

[GodWentPunk]

I also have a MIM strat w/vintage noiseless pickups...It's purple in color with rosewood fretboard. I actually gigged with the MIM strat more than I did with my USA one. I've decided that I'm going to keep my Elliot Easton guitar but I am will to do my MIM + cash. Does this sound like something you'd be interested in. The guitar does come with a new hardshell case.

Thanks for the offer Joe but I'm gonna pass. I would really like an American Strat and a maple board. I already have an MIM with EMG SA set. If you ever decide to part with your Strat let me know. That one sounds what I'm looking for, but I know the tie to Elliot means something to you and that's great.

[GodWentPunk]

I appreciate your understanding. About a year ago he was selling a lot of his collection, most of what were $2+ guitars...which I could not afford. I am a big Cars fan so yeah, I have an emotional tie to this one.

The best of luck with that ESP. I wished I could have helped you out.

[Paramedic006]

Thanks for getting back to me Joe. I know you can't argue an emotional attachment. If you know anyone looking for an ESP this thing is sweet and I know its a one off. I am basically wanting to trade for an American Strat or maybe an SG or LP studio.

[Paramedic006]

Come on guys offer me something. This ESP is a one off, you know you want it.
