No longer available So Rare: ESP Craft House Jaco Replica Jazz Bass PRICE DROP

This is not one that you see everyday. It is a 1987 build, made in the ESP Craft House in Japan. I am not sure if the relic-ing was done at the factory when it was born, or if it is in fact the natural relic-ing that comes from 30 years of traveling the world. Either way, it looks great. The build quality is fantastic. The Craft House is ESP's equivalent to Fender's Custom Shop master builds. There just aren't many CH basses floating around out there. The couple that I have seen are pretty dated to the 80's, with Horizon style bodies covered in snakeskin. This one, on the other hand, is as timeless as they get.

It is a pretty dead-on Jaco replica. It was obviously fretted, then de-fretted to get the authentic look. The Schaller is likely a replacement that happened somewhere along it's journey. I don't know if anything else is original or a replacement. There is so little information on the old ESP stuff that it is difficult to establish.

The bottom line though is that this bass is cool, rare, very well built, and about half the price of a custom shop.
