A very nice all-around tool of self-expression, as you'd expect from a Tele made by a by-now-legendary quality guitar maker, ESP. Nicely worn with some battle scars, this baby knows how to play her part on stage and in the bedroom. ESP used to modify the headstock of their traditional style guitars for the U.S. market. However, ESP Japan used the Fender-style headstocks, of which this guitar is a good example.
