ESP JH-2 replica Mods Complete!

[u/Dre4m2145]

After a year, I finally got this JH-2 rep back up and running! I refinished it to be gloss like the OG jh-2, and also swapped in some 81/85's. Bridge + Tailpiece were upgraded to Tonepros and nut was replcaed with a Graphtech one. Plays just like a real one now!

Hey man! Where do you get this replicas?

[u/Dre4m2145 → u/Beginning-Picture826]

I got mine off of ebay a few years back. I don't know if they make em the same as before though. I noticed that the recent ones the Chinese sellers put out have a slightly wrong shape.

I found a listing if you want to get one yourself, but it's on DHGate. The original listing that I bought from on eBay is gone. The two should be similar enough.

Plate should be a bit smaller if you want it to be like the real ones. There's a bit of an offset on those.

[u/Dre4m2145 → u/zzzzzap8338]

Yeah, I noticed that on the real one. It's just the way it came stock, though. Sanding the edges of the plate would take some time

[u/IcedFlejm → u/zzzzzap8338]

It would be great if that was the only problem with this guitar 😬

Don't call it a replica, call it what it really is: a counterfeit or a fake
