Hi everyone :
I've got wonderful guitar for trade. It's one of a kind '89
48th Street New York City Custom Shop guitar, some name it
ESP, because it was done with ESP top parts and by ESP Custom Shop top luthiers. There's a little info about these guitars exept that the bridge is called Sinclair Bridge and is supposed to be better than OFR and that Robert Fripp had few guitars build there and was very pleased. The orginal owner of my guitar was one of best Polish guitarist so it was maintained very well. (I'm not giving names here because I don't know if he'd be pleased with it but can give details on PM).
The guitar is in excellent condition for its age, has great sustain - and frankly speaking it's the best sounding guitar I've ever played (better than my J-Custom!!!)
It has maple neck, ebony fretboard and (I'm not sure but from the look I think...) ash body, Seymour Duncan pickups (I have never minded about particular models, just the sound which is marvelous, but I could check that if someone is interested) the bridge humbucker can be coil tapped and phase shifted by 3 way switch (pic).
The only reason for trading is a need of decent axe with sustainer for new band project and the only one I'm thinking about is listed below. I bought FSK401 recently and I was to install it in her, but I'm a little sceptical about all routing and modding stuff and would prefer not to do this.
here are some pics:

As for what I'm interested in it's
only Jackson PC1 preferably earlier version with quilted maple fretboard and in one of these blue finishes.
I don't care about perfect visual condition, some scraches etc. I'm looking for great player as my ESP is.
The one like that would be perfect:

This photo was taken from ss.org classfields from march 2009, hope the owner don't mind.
I'm opened for any resonable offers from PC1 owners, I could do some cash depending on quilt quality and condition of the guitar.
If someone really wants to
buy this guitar shoot me with offers.
I can make worldwide transaction but EU+UK would be better because of shipping costs and taxes. I'm located in Poland so I could ship from here or we could arrange swap in London. I don't have references here, but I'm sure we can work out safe way to perform friendly, succesful transaction.
I will wait with this ad for about 2-3 weeks, and if I don't recive satisfactory offers I'll propably just mount sustainer and be happy with excellent guitar.
