The desciption of guitar is this,

ESP Vintage Plus Custom Lynch

This is an ESP Vintage Plus,Has Seymour Duncan Single Stack pickups, Gotoh bridge, Sperzel locking tuners, Like New maple fretboard/neck (frets have almost no wear). The middle tone knob has been replaced with a toggle switch that splits the Single Stacks. The tone knob is a push/pull (pulling up turns on the Bridge pick up which allows 7 positions instead of 5)

Back then the Circle ESP custom guitars logo did not always mean it was custom made. BUT...with all the hardware on it, I would guess it is a custom shop guitar. IMO

Looks like a modified Vintage Plus. Replaced the pickguard, the middle tone knob with a switch, and the knobs. I don't believe they came with Sperzels either.

I've seen those models go for around $600 on Ebay. I got an ESP Vintage Plus Telecaster off Ebay for $250 bucks about 5 years ago. Dunno what they went for new.

I agree.



I believe most Vintage Plus models did come with Sperzels though. At least mine did.

Lynch would pretty sure have the back of the neck joint narowed from behind.


Nice guitar though

I agree.

Hrm, maybe so. My Tele model came with vintage style tuners.

But in the back of the shovel is not the serial number as in the Vintage Plus Standard.

The serial number is on the board of the body.

Could be a custom shop with the specifications of a standard?

Or you could be a Standard with modifications, but if is a standard the serial number should be in the shovel.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks for the answers.

Its Lynch's custom since it has good stuff like sperzel + duncan + Bolt on which idk why he gets bolt-on.

Whah? Only Lynch can do those mods?



:lol









Its appears to be a modified Standard Vintage Plus.

I agree, looks like a modded Vintage Plus S. They came stock with Sperzels.

Vintage Plus T's came with vintage tuners.

but if is a standard the serial number should be in the shovel.

The SN wasn't on the headstock (shovel) in the Mid 90's as it is now. Only on the neck plate. The "Custom Guitars" logo was standard on all or most production guitars back then.

Well i never seen bolted on customs except Lynch's

[espguitars]

Showed the guitar to a guy at ESP and he said it could either be a modded production model, or a custom order. No real way to tell for sure.

:confused:



Have a look at the custom galleries on the main page. There are many custom boltos that are not Mr. Scary models.

If it were a custom order, would it have "Vintage Plus" on the headstock? I guess the customer could specifically request it, but I dunno. Seeems like a modified production model to me.



:\

[espguitars]

I agree, Funky, it is most likely a modded production model, but I cannot 100% rule out the fact that it could be a custom order...

[Mister Guitar Himself]

your M-II looks like it's slashed by some kind of creature, looks sick...good idea for a custom
