    NOTE: Due to ongoing challenges in the global supply chain, instruments purchased from ShopESP that are not currently in stock may take an extended time frame to be delivered.

    While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was really toward the mid ‘80s when our guitars and basses grabbed the attention of players around the world. The LTD ’87 Series are faithful recreations of this set of instruments from ESP’s 1987 catalog. With the LTD Surveryor ’87, the coveted ESP Surveyor shape is making a well-deserved return to the spotlight. A classic bolt-on design at 34” scale, the Surveyor ’87 has an alder body with maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. It also features top-tier components including a Gotoh 201-B4 bridge and a Seymour Duncan Vintage P/ Vintage Jazz pickup set. Available in Black, Pearl White and Rainbow Crackle finishes.

    Hello guys, so after a bit more than a year, I can say that this instrument became a high end bass, with some mods. I changed the bridge to a Hipshot Kickass and I swapped the tuners to Hipshot HB7 ones (a luthier helped because of holes). I replaced the scratchplate too, to custom made 3 ply black/ white/ black one and a 4 ply black pearl one. Both looks to be stunning, the black is more hardcore. Fender style plates will not fit on these, they need modification.

              Hi Carl, I know this bass comes with D'Addario.045-.105. Will Rotosound 045-105 longscale fit without any problem?

                  Is it possible to get an overall weight of this 87 model? I play a 2012 ebony model which I absolutely love but it's a backbreaker! Wondering if this version is lighter?
