New KH4 Day!!!

[Crazyfrase]

Fedex just arrived and brought my new KH4 today. Such a nice looking guitar, and in perfect condition. Neck feels slightly thicker than my other KH2, but nice and solid feeling. The neck through looks great.

This one has 2 dots on the 12th fret. I believe some were made with the ESP logo? ANyone know how much. This guitar was made in '98 so must be from the original run i think.

Perfect addition to the collection :evil

Pics coming.........

Just my 2 cents, here is mine.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/ice7400/KH-4/IMG_0042.jpg

I believe after 2002, ESP has change the way they stamp on the back of the headstock. Before it's "Custom Guitar", which was built in Customshop. but after 2002 all KH-4 has been stamped only "Custom Shop", plus they change the serial number sequence. As far as I see, I have never seen any SS KH-4, only CS KH-4.


I don't have the pic of my COA, but it's smaller than yours (not regular ESP COA size)

Long time ago, some dude post the difference between T and K serial number, but I forgot about that.

Not sure, if my theory is right.

:hat:hat:hat

Oh BTW: I forgot to say " Congrat " dude..


Cheers

congas.. my fav KH!

[frantic77]

congrats!nice guitar

T and K just represent different custom shop locations.

In Japan, guitars dont come with CoA...and do not necessarily have the stamps...since all ESPs sold in Japan are custom shop produced.

[scottph]

really clever to bid more money for a guitar than the buy it now price was!

[Crazyfrase]

I dont get it

[scottph]

very easy:
final bid: US $1.925,00
starting price was $1600 and buy it now price $1800

[Crazyfrase]

well the final bidder never paid so i got it for less than 1925. Also, the auction didnt have a buy it now price. I dont get it

Are you trying to be funny?

[ProbablyMe]

I believe the buy it now price get removed when a bid is made, which is why some folks set the buy it now price the same as the starting price. So if someone placed a $1600 bid (the starting price) no one else would get a buy it now option or see it was there iirc which would explain why the bids would go above it.

[scottph]

you're right, but there was it buy it now price of $1800!
ask the seller!
did you get it?

[jibe]

I think the buy it now option is removed after the first bid.

Anyhow less than 2000 dollars for a perfect condition KH-4, that's a sweet deal !!! :evil
Congrats on the guitar, it's one that is still missing in my collection... :p

[ice6]

Any idea on where I could get a pickguard like that one. I have a MII with a pickguard that I don't like. Strat pickguards don't fit so I need one just like the kh-4. Any ideas?

Maybe order a pearloid or plastic sheet, then trace the template from your old one to your new one, cut it, and hand sand the edges out yourself???

Edit: Oh wait, I think you meant that you want to install one...

If so, someone on the boards probably has a template of it, ask them to send a copy of it, and then scale the diagram to size...
