NGD! ESP Custom Shop

[Crash Dandicoot]

I used to own one of these when I was younger. Unfortunately, like all stupid young men, I sold it. After tracking down the exact one I sold to somewhere in Milwaukee, the trail went cold. While I would absolutely love to have the original back, low and behold Shimamura comes to the rescue! This is an ESP N-HH-460 Japanese signature model, by order only. I've always loved its twist on the Forest shape and I'm very pleased to have one again. It's got some nicks and dings but nothing extreme - I actually kind of like it, it's got that legit used vibe about it.

Anyways, here she is:

Please excuse the cell phone photos, I'm without a decent camera / natural light at the moment.

It feels great to be playing this particular guitar again - the feel of quality from the ESP Custom Shop is mind blowing. Still wish I could find my exact guitar, but this will have to do!

I find the body is on the small side, personally. I'll get some better photos this weekend and contribute!

Dude that guitar is so awesome. I've never seen one and at first I thought wtf.

But after looking a bit and mulling it over, everything about it is so interesting and I love it.

Congrats, never have played a custom shop but I can only imagine how it plays and sounds.

Congratulations man! Here's hoping you get the original back one day too.

nice! I was close to ordering one but the price tag saved my wallet. Hope to get an old Reindeer model though

How does it hang on your body? The body shape looks like it would balance really well from a strap.

It sits pretty naturally for me, no diving or anything. Super comfy sitting down, as well.
