I've seen this band a couple of times and I've been quite interested in finding out more about the guitar in the photo below.
 via Flickr. It's a Les Paul style body but it has a sound hole in it like it's a hollowbody (or more likely a semi-hollowbody). It sounds like one too....kinda odd through a Mesa Rectifier setup. The headstock (photo) says ESP LTD but I haven't been able to find it on the ESP site. Could it just be a straight-up custom job or am I not looking for it in the right place? Its condition looks to good to be some kind of discontinued vintage model. I'm not in the market for a new guitar anytime soon, but I like to be ready with options in case I become ready. I'm not normally up for Les Paul style guitars, but this one's interesting enough that I could easily make an exception if it's not hideously expensive. (updated to fix the link that shows the headstock) This post has been edited by Scott Gentzen: Nov 16 2007, 11:12 PM -------------------- Guitars: ESP Semi-Hollow Eclipse, 1984 Ibanez Roadstar RS440, Peavey T-60, Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom

I don't think it's a custom build, wouldn't say ESP LTD in that case and if someone would put a sticker on I'm confident they would just have it say ESP, not LTD (budget model)
I've never seen it before EDIT: What's the name of the band, that may help? It's called ESP Eclipse Semi Hollow Now let's see if I can find proof to back it up.

Oh it was not easy, I had to turn back time and run some intergalactic tricks but I made it I don't think it's a common guitar sice we both had the same page almost QUOTE (Scott Gentzen @ Nov 16 2007, 11:53 PM) That's it! Different bridge, but close enough. You're the man. Seems kinda hard to find. Maybe probably under US$1000 though. No problem! Don't seem to be very common guitar. -------------------- My bands homepage
