ESP Custom Shop Skulls & Snakes mid-90s (1993-1996) - excellent condition
Our users rate Reverb
This is a true ESP Japan Custom Shop Skulls & Snakes (Serial 61167) built in the mid‑1990s during ESP’s golden era. This is not the mass‑produced George Lynch signature model — it is a Custom Shop one‑off, hand‑airbrushed, with period‑correct hardware and ESP‑branded tuners.
These Custom Shop builds are significantly rarer and often more desirable to collectors than the signature production models. The artwork is original, vibrant, and in excellent condition.
The guitar features a Schaller Germany Floyd Rose, ESP tuners, a locking nut, and the classic Skulls & Snakes graphic.
Serial number 61167 is stamped on the ESP bolt-on neck plate, consistent with mid‑90s Custom Shop production. This is a serious collector’s piece — extremely hard to find in this condition.
