Own a truly one-of-a-kind player's axe with this custom-finished ESP LTD F-50. Originally leaving the factory in 2004, this guitar was transformed in 2005 when it was completely hand-painted by an artist named Dave. You will never see another F-50 that looks quite like this one.
This guitar has been heavily played and loved, carrying a genuine, heavily roughed-in "relic" condition that cannot be faked in a factory. If you are looking for a pristine, pristine instrument, this isn't it—but if you want an aggressive rock/metal machine packed with raw character, a unique backstory, and a broken-in feel, this guitar is ready to roll.
Based on the serial number (IR0423193), the underlying instrument is a 2004 model built at the reputable Indonesian Rarities/Samick factory, offering a structurally solid foundation underneath its rugged exterior.
