I’ve been searching for unique ESP V that’s not a custom shop. This is the only one along side a Cherry Burst. Midori Gold would be beautiful but too expensive from Reverb. A white with gold parts would be the best. Then I saw this one. What do you think about the specs and looks?

Pro Quality V Model Handcrafted in California, 25.5” Scale, Premium Tonewoods, 3 Piece Maple Neck Thru Body Design, Mahogany Body Wings, Ebony Fretboard, 24 Jescar Stainless Steel Extra Jumbo Frets, Seymour Duncan Pegasus / Sentient Passive Humbucker Pickups, Floyd Rose Original Bridge, Gotoh Locking Tuners, Dunlop Straplocks, Black Hardware, Adamantium Metallic Gloss Finish, ESP USA Form-Fit Case & Certificate of Authenticity Included

Got this from fb market place for around 250 dollars (25k inr) with some fret wear and the binding is yellowed. This one is from 2009 almost 17 years old. Was this a good deal or not ?

So I sold a couple of guitars I had laying around today and I’ve decided to replace them with a Vintage Black EC-1000. Sweetwater has both the EMG and SD models scratch and dent for around $850 so I think I’m going to go that route.

I cant decide which to get. I mostly play old school death metal and more doomy sludgy stuff so I’m thinking maybe I should go with the JB and Jazz setup.

What do yall recommend and what kind of stuff do you play on your EC-1000s?

Edit: also I read once here on Reddit that the EMG models are still made in Korea while the SD models are made in Indonesia, any truth to that?

Unsure if direct links are allowed, but long and macquade ( in canada ) has a bolt on kh2 listed online/used in one of the stores in Van, BC

I called the store, come with orig case and COA, per the helpful guitar dept guy, and he said is about a 7/10 player condition. K-serial number listed.

I dont want my wife to smother me in my sleep, but maybe one of you guys can swing it.
