Cool ax. I always liked these Jake ESPs but never got a chance to try one. I had a number of kit builds I had slapped together in sort of a Jake style. Strats with hard tails, one volume, a bucker and a slanted single coil or two buckers, or just one. I like the simplicity of it. You get a tone, resonance and sustain with hard tails that you don't get with trems.
I have a similar guitar, an inexpensive Strat-style unit at 24.75 inches. It is a lot of fun, a bit easier to play than than my 25.5 inch versions of the same thing.
Super cool guitar! I owned one in the mid 90's and used it for over 10 years until I ultimately sold it. If it was all original and had the original hard shell case I would be interested.
@@jamesraymondsmithI would put it to better use than you would I'd atleast keep it in tune I checked out your channel ya you ain't much to be laughing at anyone
@@wickedbishop i was laughing because i thought it was only one old guitar theythought was rare thinking it would cost someone an unfair fortune. i see now they are mass producing them. i dont really give a ferret shit what you think about my humble youtube channel. i see the price now at the bottom. so i looked at your site and marvel you not only have a hole in your shoe but in your head also. lol
@@jamesraymondsmithjust as I thought just a idiot you make no sense at all just so happens I've been looking for a jake e lee signature model go freaking practice
Any reasons why they used a 24 3/4 scale length neck? I'm not sure if Jake E lee Charvel neck was what scale length? or the Fernandes Jake E Lee signature model scale length?
@@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95 So the Charvel neck, Fernandes neck, ESP neck all were 24.75"? I guess the neck gives a darker tone also like gibson not snappy or twangy like a fender
@@waynegram8907the Charvels have been 25.5” scale with 21 frets, this is 24.75” with 22. Jake was apparently really into SGs and Juniors so he got a 24.75” on this model.
@@CarolineGuitarCo When did Jake E Lee start using the ESP Jake E Lee Signature models? because Badlands he is still using the Charvels guitars with the 25.5 scale length. It must have been after Badlands he started using the ESP guitars?
@@waynegram8907he’s using an ESP in this Badlands video - ua-cam.com/video/wyNDyW6wGVM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared - and I remember a guitar mag interview where he was showing techniques and tricks on a ESP Strat style guitar.
He’s using an ESP in this video - ua-cam.com/video/wyNDyW6wGVM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared - and I’m old and gray enough to remember him doing a guitar mag interview where he’s photographed with an ESP Strat style guitar.

Jake E. Lee is an awesome player
Absolutely he's been one of my favorite guitarist from the first time I heard him play
Awesome 👏
I didn’t know you could have different frets down the board there must be some sort of advantage
Man I'm really interested in buying that is it still available and what's the price please?
LOL
@@jamesraymondsmithwhat's so funny is this some kind of joke?

Im guessing its because he wanted a gibson feel. Theyre 24.75" as well I think. Also humbucker bridge with flatter radius is gibsonlike

This made my day. A reverse headstock would look really nice.
A signature guitar he never used.

@@CarolineGuitarCo He may have used it for a photo-op but I never saw him play one with Ozzy or Badlands.
all Friedman strats have that scale, nothing new.
Correct! This is from the 1990s. Not new.
