1980s ESP Custom Shop Mirage SSH Superstrat Black w/ Case

1980s ESP Custom Shop Mirage SSH Superstrat Black w/ Case

Up for sale, a 1980s ESP Custom Shop Mirage in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. ESP's Japanese Custom Shop is famous for producing unique handmade instruments for their clientele, built to nearly any specification and catering to all idiosyncratic needs. This iteration of the Mirage platform features an SSH pickup complement and gloss Black finish with reverse headstock.

The pickup complement includes an ESP Custom Humbucker in the bridge position, warm and powerful while retaining strong fundamental punch and clarity, and the ESP SS-RI-120 stacked single coils at the middle and neck positions deliver hum-free performance that’s ideally suited for fluid, sweet-sounding neo-classical metal. This Custom Shop Mirage weighs 7lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Slender D, measuring .805” 1st fret, .875” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, dot inlays (“ESP” inlay at octave)
-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear
