I like the major blotch but looks like some one had bloody diarrhea on the rest of it.


I emailed him, and he was pitching me like he is getting emails from all over the world for it...abroad. I was like ok cool....ummm...then why is it still for sale with no bids?:confused::confused:

I think it is an ltd truckster because some graphic on ltd's are bit differnt....maybe wrong but....

oh for sure it is an LTD. They are the ones that have a variety in the finish. The ESP versions are all the same (I think)

Na not quite the same, but at least they dont vary from a fairly decent blotch to a fuckin playboy bunny :lol

Yea, something about that guitar doesn't look right, from that pickup ring to the funky finish, I'd be willing to bet it is fake.

Seems like it would cost more to fake it then just buy an original.

well just check it out on shop and you'll see that there are different finishes for ltd version!

That's the same guitar as James os playing at live. The ESP and the LTD are only replicas. That's the oroginal! ;)

This is true.... I had one of the first production Trucksters, and remember the large fore arm wear. I sold it like a dumbass. But regretted it. So thanks to the good people at the guitar place I get my stuff from I got a newer one. This time I recieved the COA, and it has the Signature Series stamp on the back of the headstock!. It plays better than the first one I had. But the fore arm wear shows a little bit more of a greyish tint. Never the less, this one is a keeper!!!

the ugly ass truckster definately looks fake. i dont think regular trucksters had a ring around the dummy switch.

Looks like he just did some extra sanding and added the washer around the top toggle.

No matter, it's still ugly as sin. Some of the finishes on the Ltd.'s are down right horrible and not even close to looking anything like James's original or the ESP's.

I guess that's the difference from the ESP's being finished in the ESP Custom Shop and the Ltd.'s being sanded on by someone who doesn't give a shit.

Still looks legit but he fucked with it.


The newer LTD's of the Truckster coming out are closer to the ESP version in terms of the blotch and other marks. The Sam Ass near me has one, that looks real cool.
