Need Help Identifing ESP Guitars

[badbach66]

I tried looking up the serial numbers on the net, didn't have any luck at all. Here's the first one..it's a black ESP explorer, it says "ESP Custom" on the headstock & "ESP Custom Guitars" & "made in japan" at the back.Don't have any idea what the pickups are, it says esp on the pup covers.

Here's the second one; it's a George Lynch Skull n' Bones guitar. But it doesn't look like the one in production right now, the graphic has a greenish tint to it while the current ones available are more colorful. The bridge is a licensed floyd while the current models have the original floyd.

Any help would be appreciated..I'm really interested in determining the exact models for these guitars & their current value as I will be putting these up for sale soon. Thanks in advance!

Both are ESP's from the late 80's-early 90's.

I've registered at the esp boards; for some reason my account hasn't been activated yet. :=(

Be that as it may, I'd do dirty things to that Lynch. Om nom nom.

looks like normal gigging wear and tear to me.

still a shame though.

do you see the rust on those strings? it may be a gigging guitar, but you can wipe your sweat off and at least attempt to keep the pickups from going rusty too

that's impossible man, I'd do it if it worked. unfortunately my Horizon's Floyd hardware is going rusty

90's stock ESP's. The use of the Schaller trem on the Lynch is typical of this time. Weird about the explorer, they came with EMG's. THey both look Legit though. I'd kill for that Lynch, I have a collection of old Japanese ESP's. Let me know how much you are putting these up for sale when you come up with something.

the first one is an EX, EXP or MX not sure bc I never really payed attention, the other one is just an old model snakes.

Looks like some lemon oil would be in order, but apart from that I agree. Gigging wear and tear, but at least some mileage is on that guit.
