    Yeah mate, I dunno. Could be a DREAMER trying to sell them all off for that price. :p:p

    Then again, could be some Rock history in there. ;);)

    How does it play? A friend had a knock-off, but his was junk and almost unplayable.

    The guitar is amazing to play. The neck is perfectly broken in and the fretboard is amazing. It is a very expressive guitar and you have to basically learn how to play it. Between all the switches and learing how to control feedback when on high gain channels the guitar is wonderful to play as well as exciting. As for the fretboad, it has the original frets on on and they are quite worn down, but I love it, its so comfortable. I will post a few more pics when I get the time.

    And to Pap, thank you.

    Hi, Although I have owned over 500 guitars I have no idea what company made these pickups. I have searched the internet but can't find anything out. Anyone have an idea?

    I have a Gibson which my great grandmother bought in 1927 and it is virtually mint condition. I know everybody say mint, but this one you really have to see to believe. When I lived in Kalamazoo in the 70's, I took it in to the factory and was told it was an L-0, but the pictures of L-0s I have seen do not seem to match up quite.

    Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what this is worth?

    Just bought another ESP Kirk Hammett guitar. :):)

    This one is the Kirk Hammet "relic" guitar. This guitar is brand new, but has the distressed finish on it :eek::eek:

    It is a replica of his main stage guitar. This one is from 2005. Every year they update the distressed finish, I am sure this year it would be pretty beat up compared to this 05 model. :D:D

    This model is also a neck through body. (NTB) I plugged it in and it has to be one of the BEST sounding guitars I have ever played. I have never played a NTB before and my god this one sounds AWESOME! :D:D

    The sustain from all my other bolt-on neck ESP's is fantastic, but this one takes the cake!! ****en amazing and I love it!! I didnt realise NTB sounded so much better. I should have bought one years ago. :eek::eek:

    This one now makes ESP number 4. I have something in the pipe works to get ESP number 5. ;);)

    **I peeled the "caution hot" sticker off my old bolt neck on ESP. I got the real deal NTB now, dont need the sticker on it anymore. :eek::eek:**

    This is my vintage slide guitar. It was given to me by my grandfather before he passed away. He handmade this guitar some time during the forties. It originally had a single coil pickup, then later, during the 70's, he modified it with a humbucker :)
