ESP is one of Japan's most famous guitar brands, along with Fender and Gibson.
It is supported by many professional artists, and IKUO, Hidekazu Hinata, and Kazuhiko Nakamura are known to use the company's basses.
This is the classic AP series.
The body is made of ash and the fingerboard is made of maple, which is a classic wood composition.
The scale is 35 inches, and the sound image is tight.
The pickups are Saymor Duncan SMB-4D, and the preamp is Seymour Duncan STC-3M4.
The hardware is unified by GOTOH, and you can see the high quality.
Both pickups can be switched between series/tap/parallel, and output various tones such as JB, PB, and MM.
By pulling the master volume knob, you can instantly change to a deep slap tone, and the NYC sound can also be reproduced.
The powerful and neat sound will match any ensemble.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is stiff, but can be confirmed to move about 90 degrees.
The neck is in a high-rise condition, but the string height has been adjusted to 3.0-2.2mm, and it is currently in playable condition without any problems.
The body and painted surface show signs of use, such as scratches and dents, but there is no fatal damage and the overall condition is satisfactory for practical use.
The condition of the electrical system is good.
A recess has been added between the neck PU and bridge PU through post-processing, and a screw-on finger lamp has been installed. The end of the fingerboard has also been shaved, and the finish is somewhat rough. A pickguard has been installed.
