An ESP?
I feel like some of them are a little offset-ty...

Not an ESP.

Hint: Not an extreme shape.

Here are the pics of a non popular guitar around here..

I have a soft spot for superstrats of 80s early 90s vintage. Something about the designs conote a forward looking futurism unencumbered by the ghosts of the vintage past. Not to mention how every spec is aimed at ease of playing and tuning stability. They're like a really cool looking sports car. They express optimism.

I love when they're used in non metal contexts. African music in particular.

This little hole in the wall shop I'd hit up growing up, they had this Italian made superstrat with big rainbow radians emanating from some point. Ugh. Such a dream machine. I'll never recall the name.

Anyway, cool find!
If it wasn't for disappointment, I wouldn't have any appointments.

I saw a Daphne blue Charvette recently that i missed out on...

Ive never had a guitar with that type of bridge, doesn't look much different than a regular one though, nor a neck with that crazy metal nut..

If it plays good enough, I might consider a crazy sparkle refin.. :ph34r:

That's a sweet guitar as is, and I bet it plays like a champ.

A high school friend of mine had that very guitar in that very color! He used it to play songs by the Cure…

I have always hoped to find an underpriced Charvel Holdsworth somewhere. That seems like my ultimate metal guitar.

I know there’s no such thing as an underpriced one, though.
