ESP is one of Japan's most renowned guitar brands, renowned worldwide alongside Fender and Gibson.
George Lynch, Alexi Laiho, Toshihiko Takamizawa, and Takayoshi Ohmura are known to be fans of the brand's guitars.
This model is the signature model of world-famous guitarist Char.
According to the previous owner, it was custom-made at ESP in Osaka approximately 40 years ago.
Based on the specs, it appears to be based on a minor change to the Char I.
It has a stylish body shape with a compact design reminiscent of a Mustang.
The wood grain at the joints suggests it is likely ash, and the fingerboard is rosewood.
The neck pickup is a Bill Lawrence USA L-500 Rhythm, and the bridge pickup is a numbered PAF with a Pat APPL For sticker.
The bolt-on humbucker pickups and long scale pickups produce an appealing sound that is fat yet has a good attack.
The bridge is an ESP FLICKER-I.
It is fixed to the body with four screws and has a unique design with hinges on both ends, allowing for smooth arm movements.
A masterpiece packed with the ideas of one of Japan's world-renowned guitarists.
