Details are:

LTD (ESP) MH400NT electric guitar AS NEW in gig bag

Construction: Set-thru

Scale: 25.5"

Body: Mahogany w/quilted maple top

Neck/Fretboard: 3-pc. maple/rosewood

Inlays: Offset blocks w/name at 12th fret

Pickups: EMG-81/85 set

Electronics: Volume, tone, 3-way slotted toggle

Hardware: Black + Earvana compensated nut & Grover tuners

Bridge: Tune-o-matic w/string-thru-body

Binding: White (body), white (neck, headstock)

Frets: 24 XJ

Colors: See-thru Black (actually looks like marbled blue in real life, depends on the light).

It was $1400RRP new less than a year ago. Would be happy with $950ish or near offer. It's basically new because it gets less playtime than the others (not enough room to keep them all out). I used to sell guitars for a job, so it's setup nicely and well cared for.

I'm in the ACT but will ship it interstate if someone is happy to use a courier or similar. I know how to pack it properly for shipping, I just refuse to send something like this without insurance, and would prefer a courier or find a local buyer. Happy if someone wants to pick it up though.

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask. I've got/played a fair few guitars so I can tell you how it goes compared to others if I know them.

Here are some pics. They don't do it justice....

The little 'marks' on the edge closest the camera in the first shot are reflections from the light. You can see the same area is perfectly fine in the other photos.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
