USED ESP / Custom Rose Telecaster [05]

We've received a gorgeous used ESP TL.

Plate serial number: 21319; the body joint is marked with 010004 (the printing is quite faint). This is likely a model that was exhibited or unveiled at NAMM 2001.
The body and headstock feature a bird’s-eye maple top. The body back is made of ash, and the neck is a three-piece maple with an ebony fingerboard. But the standout feature of this instrument is undoubtedly the inlays: a white rosewood inlay at the 12th fret and mother-of-pearl inlays on the body. The neck and body purfling also feature herringbone decoration. It’s truly a luxurious instrument crafted with meticulous attention to detail.The nut—a three-piece design of abalone, brass, and abalone—is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship that only ESP can deliver.

The pickups include a Seymour Duncan APH-1b in the bridge position, and while the model name is unknown, the neck pickup is also a Seymour Duncan. As for its condition, while there are some signs of use, such as dents and scratches, it is in relatively good shape and plays well. The hard case is labeled “ESP Custom Proto Tele American Rose 1/3.” This likely refers to this specific instrument, though details are unclear.

This is a Custom Rose Telecaster of unparalleled, luxurious quality—please be sure to consider it while this opportunity lasts.
