My Metal ESP Mirage
That is the first "expensive" guitar I bought (1993). I took the money that was supposed to be invested in my driver's licence. I did that while my father was in Italy and then I informed him about my deed *lol*
He was "excited" to come back as soon as possible as you can imagine.
I saw this guitar in the ESP Custom Shop in Duesseldorf/Germany and fell in love with her. The next day I had to come back and buy her!
The painting was made in the custom shop in Tokio. Although this baby looks metal it is a wonderful instrument that has been built with lots of passion. It's funny 'cause everytime I have a musical down, I take this one out and smile...great to play, great tone (just listen to my heavy clips in the members clips section)
