Product Overview
This 1991 built ESP Maverick Deluxe is one of the earliest emergences of ESPs nod to the shorter scale 24.75" Superstrats popularised only a few years earlier bu the likes of the Kramer Nightswan. Unsurprising ESP would produce their own, after all, they were the manufacturers of the necks and bodies of the American series Kramer Nightswans that inspired the Maverick.
ESPs transition from the Concorde headstock was afoot and this model help to herald in ESPs own iconic 6-in-line headstock, still in use more than three decades later.

NECK GRIP SHAPE:
There are a few minor scrapes and scratches to the guitar but the headstock is in great shape, not often seen in ESP 6-in-line headstocks that have been around for a while. Any damage is illustrated in the photos.
The neck grip is well played and the clear worn for the majority of the neck to the timber. Frets, however, have plenty of life left and are in great shape.
The instrument plays incredibly well, just as you'd expect from this custom shop level guitar ESP is synonymous for.
