Found a well worn, but very functional early ESP strat at a local used music store. Appears to be an old Esparto. Those are selling for pretty good money it seems. Has a pickguard held on with large head phillips, and the headstock has the name removed and looks like it was sanded a bit to look more like a Fender. However, it plays wonderfully, and sounds really good too. Pickups are very yellowed. Grover tuners. I only had a 20 on me, so I gave him that and will get it tomorrow or so. He had a 100 bucks on it. Well worth that IMHO. Kind of an off Lake Placid Blue with rosewood neck. I still can't believe how well that thing plays. Good score on my birthday.
