Hello This is Johnny from the AXN Guitar Boutique. I am the most renown collector of ESP and 1980s guitars in the United States of America. The only people that know more about the vintage ESP brand and its history live in Japan and i know them!

This is a verifiable ESP Navigator with matching serial numbers in the neck pocket and on the neck heel that slips inside the neck pocket. Perfect fit neck to body also I might mention! That’s a two piece center-joined swamp ash guitar body! Premium custom made ESP Navigator

That means the guitar was manufactured at the ESP Shop in Tokyo in 1984. Its handmade. Ive kept this one for myself over the years and it’s part of the guitars that had intended t keep for myself. So get this and keep it ! Truly is a keeper!

You can see the stickers on the back. They come off but the finish is not perfectly mint but it is in great condition. There clear coat blemishes from other stickers i removed when i acquired it on the front. Additionally there are dings dents and scratches on the guitar. I mention this but that said, the guitar in 100% perfect working order and ready to be gigged. There are Zero, None and NO issues mechanical structural or otherwise. It’s a perfect vintage guitar!

I can offer you a letter of Authentication at purchase ( please request that at purchase ) that will verify its authenticity as a made in Japan ESP Navigator Hardtail manufactured in 1984. The volume and tone pots are factory original and they are all date coded and matching indicating 1984. The photos show the serial number of the luthier that manufactured the guitar. It was manufactured the Tokyo custom order shop at the time in 1984. That ESP shop is still there in Japan

You can see the pickups that are in it in the photos. Those pickups are vintage Fender noiseless and a Bill Lawrence vintage rail that sounds great. The original pickups are gone and they would have been ESP factory singles. Also the second tone pot has been removed from the wiring chain. The pots are are dated to 1984 and original to the guitar. It a collectors item. and there are zero Hardtails that I have ever seen in my years of collecting that are verifiable from this ESP heyday and legendary period for ESP!
