2018.1.6: I got this in an equipment exchange.
As a Lark lover, K.A.Z. of VAMPS was of course interested in this one.
The difference from ESP is the bolt-on neck, rear VOL plate & kill switch & no blue line on the back of the neck.
According to the catalog, the original PU is Duncan SH-PG and Edwards has EH-1G, which is the original PU.
The previous owner had replaced the electrical system with Chinese parts.
2018.4.15: The PU was replaced with a Duncan Distortion set, the electrical system was replaced with a decent one, and a high-pass capacitor was added.
Changed from 2vol,1tone to 1vol,1tone,Coil tap SW to make it easier to handle.
2019: The Duncan Distortion set was not balanced well because the guitar does not have much body resonance, so I replaced it with the APH-1 set.
I think the balance is better now that the power has been reduced.
2020:The frets had been rubbed together in the past, but the fret shaping had not been done at all, so I had them reshaped at the workshop.
2021.6.23:I wanted a Zebra APH-1N and had a set of unused SH-1s, so I replaced both the front and back.
The wiring at the time was messy, so I rewired it and also reassembled it to 2Vol/1Tone, the same wiring method as the original, since it is a 2-core design without a tap.
The high pass was also removed to make it more like the original.
2021.10: I sold this guitar because I have the original one and it was just for my collection and also to organize the storage space.
The neck is mahogany in the catalog, but it looks like a 3P from the way the paint on the back of the head is wavy, so it might be a maple 3P, which is common in ESP.
I am not sure though, as there was no place where the grain could be seen when the neck was removed.
