Entry Gear

(Sold)ESP/BOTTOM LINE GT

owner: Shin

2021.8.25: BOTTOM LINE guitar models are still popular and can still be seen today, but this one is rarely seen anymore.
The back of the body is dark and the grain is almost invisible, but the maple neck is see-through blue.
There are some pick scratches and buckle scratches, but there is no major damage to the metal parts or the body that reaches the wood.
Unfortunately, there are a few fret ends that are floating, which is common on ebony fretboards, so it would be better to replace them.
There is no model number sticker on the rear PU, but there is no evidence that it has been replaced, so I assume it is a genuine catalog TB-4.
2021.10.9: I had the frets replaced with Jescar 55090 nickel at the workshop.
The reason why quite a few frets were floating with the same symptom was that they were not bent and driven to match the fingerboard radius.
I have seen many guitars in this maker's family made in this era with the same symptoms, so I think I've convinced myself.
2021.11: I sold it because the role was fulfilled by a refretted FOREST-GT.
