Do you do work directly for ESP or is that various customers just wanting paint work done? Or both (given the Kramer). I ask because the Dracula guitar looks to be a Kirk Hammet sig model and those guitars are $$ right out of the hole, let alone custom paint that could potentially devalue the collect-ability of it in the long run. The white one also looks to be a very George Lynch-ish Kamikaze theme as well.
They are all various customers guitars. We have done 1 guitar for ESP Last year.



The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, and Ouija are all replicas of Kirk Hammett From Metallica's guitars. The Mummy and Franky are real ESPs (about $1500.00 new) the Dracula is on a cheaper LTD KH sig. and the Ouija is just a random body. As for devaluing, Actually because of the popularity of Metallica, It makes the guitars worth quite alot more.
The Kamikaze 1 is a slight variant of the George Lynch's Kamikaze, that is a real ESP body with a custom neck.

Here's mine!

A Suhr Standard and a Paul Reed Smith Swamp Ash Special. I used to have a couple other PRS's, but the Suhr's have won me over. Both are fantastic guitars...way nicer than my meager talent deserves.

Nice paint work on the ESP's!

Jason

Beautiful paint work.

I'm old school. I have a Jerry Jones Silvertone guitar and a '82 Gibson Les Paul standard.

Here's a pic of my pool cue & my Ibanez bass guitar. The guitar was painted with a black base, with a purple flip flop skull & flames added. The pool cue has a black base with blue flip flop & black & white check with flames, cheers....Nige


prior to flatting & polishing

VERY COOL PETE!!
Someone like ESP's!!! I think I may have spied a George Lynch model ESP in there??
I have a black Gibson Explorer that I ordered from Gibson back in like '86/'87?? I also have an Ibanez RX 7-string guitar. I'm actually thinking about selling the Ibanez guitar.
