Model ESF-93

From the Howard Leese collection. This guitar was a NAMM Show prototype that Howard saw at the 1993 NAMM Show, when Nancy Wilson was Playing Takamine's. It was given to Howard by the Takamine rep, and Howard used it extensively on the road with Heart as his main accoustic on stage.

The ESF-93 was the first edition of the Santa Fe. Incredible Lacewood back and sides, spectacular real Turquoise inlay, and built in limited numbers.
