ESP Yellow Tiger MIJ 1985+ Serial 05098 ESP made George Lynch Yellow Tiger Original Shape. It should be very rare model. The current Yellow Tiger has ESP original designed peg head. This guitar has the Fender Stratocaster type peg head. I have called ESP Japan to check this guitar. They said that Strat head type was made only for domestic market. Actually, George took 2-3 same guitar with him. However, he could not use this head in the States, because of Fender's patent. ESP Japan said the Strat head should be very small q'ty they made. I have also asked them about the serial number. It has serial on the neck plate. ESP Japan said they didn't control number yet in 1980-85 time. He just said it should be early Yellow Tiger. The specification of this Yellow tiger is Body : Hard Maple 2P Neck : Hard Maple 1P 22F Nut : Lock Nut Neck Joint : Bolt-on 4 Bridge : Floyd Rose Original Pick UP : Normally Seymour Duncan, but this one has ESP LH-200 Control : 1V Weight : 3.61Kg List price : Current model 273,000 yen (approx. US$ 2,480) The first one must be 180-190,000 yen (US$ 1,600-1,730) I have asked the guitar shop around our office. They said many players are looking for this guitar even in Japan specially Stratocaster head type. Well, please have a look many pictures of this guitar. This guitar is very nice condition. I have checked all parts are O.K. No serious dents and scratches. Floyd Rose Saddle were changed by myself. The screws were rusted. Now, Real great condition. The sound like, of course, George Lynch, no doubt. But I could not play like him anyhow. The starting price is music store offer me to purchase. I don't know who would purchase this guitar from me. This is good guitar but not my taste. Well ,just play with this guitar !!! Maybe, It is last chance to see this guitar, If I could not sell, I would keep this guitar as Not for Sales again. |
