$225 (partial trades accepted, I'm always looking for Duncans, Gold humbuckers, and Gold Trems)
Used ESP LTD M-155 6-string electric guitar made in Korea. Lightweight Basswood body with maple neck, tilt-back headstock, rosewood fretboard with abalone pearl dot inlays, 24 medium-jumbo frets (tarnished, but good shape). Seymour Duncan SH-13 Dimebucker bridge pickup and Seymour Duncan SH-1N '59 Neck Humbucker with nickel cover (factory-installed). That's about $150 in pickups if you bought them new!
Both are 4-wire pickups with plenty of wire left. Master Volume and Tone with 3-way blade switch. These controls work really well. With the Dimebucker, you can go from screaming metal down to snappy clean sounds by simply rolling down the volume knob. The '59 Neck is fat and smooth sounding. The Dimebucker is clear and sharp with tight bass, lots of highs, and effortless harmonics. I just restrung and set it up with a new set of 10's. The Licensed Floyd Rose is set even with the body and can be pulled up or down. It holds tune very well.
This guitar has had a rough previous owner. There are many scratches and scuffs primarily on the body, as well as some chips (one pictured on the upper horn and there's one on the end of the body and on the back. The screws are all tarnished (cheap replacement or use flat black paint) and the tremolo bar is a little loose (maybe $10-15 part) and the frets could use a good polishing (maybe a scotch-brite pad, eraser, 0000 steel wool, or just play it!). Allen wrenches included. No case included. Packed will with nice big box with lots of bubble wrap.
Buyer pays shipping: within the US, that could range from $17 to $35.
