| ESP ESPARTO Stratocaster model ESP was established in 1975 as a guitar repair and builder for targeting the profeesional musicians. For me, I don't have a strong impression about ESP that time. Almost same time, we could see the Moon, Shector, PACO anf other part MFG. However, ESP become the worlwide company now. I think the owner of ESP have a very good marketing and management sense. They didn't become the public company yet. I'm guessing they will be one day. This is eary date ESP start model. The mame is "ESPARTO". I don't know why they named it for Strat. But they named ES-335 replica as Torroco, Telecaster as TELESPO and PB as ESPIONAGE... This guitar should be very early time Esparto Start, maybe made in late 70's. The neck is straight. frets are a bit worn, but still O.K. for playing. Electric circuits are fine. I'm not sure whether somebody modified the wiring or not. It is good JV guitar. This is actually first ESP start for me. So, I could not compare with other ESP strat. It should be 80,000-90,000 JYE list price in 70's. Please try Japanese Vintage guitar! |
