🔥 2001 ESP Navigator N-LP-320 CTM Les Paul Custom – Thick, Mean, and Ready to Roar! 🔥

If you crave that fat, vintage-inspired tone with modern reliability and serious attitude, this 2001 ESP Navigator N-LP-320 CTM (Les Paul Custom) is a absolute tone monster that hits hard and sustains forever.

Premium Build & Tonewoods

•  Body: Rich Honduran mahogany with a rare hard rock maple top — the holy grail combination for thick, singing mids, tight bass, and endless sustain.

•  Finish: Beautifully aged nitro lacquer that has developed a warm, checked patina over 25 years.

•  Neck: Mahogany set-neck with a super fat, meaty profile — exactly what Les Paul lovers dream about. It fills the hand perfectly for effortless chording and lightning-fast leads.

•  Fretboard: Smooth ebony with flawless frets and that dark, luxurious feel that enhances note clarity and definition.

Killer Electronics

•  Seymour Duncan pickups — delivering everything from juicy, articulate cleans to searing, harmonically rich overdrive with outstanding dynamics.

•  Full-size CTS pots and paper-in-oil tone caps — premium wiring that gives you smooth, musical roll-off and that coveted vintage-style responsiveness.

This guitar does it all: crank it up for crushing classic rock or metal, roll back the volume for buttery blues, or push the mids for that singing sustain that cuts through the mix.

Honest, Lightly Road-Worn Condition

This is a real player’s guitar with moderate playwear that proves it’s been loved and gigged:

•  A noticeable ding on the top (right in the strumming zone)

•  A bunch of smaller dings and marks on the back

•  Natural nitro checking and patina throughout including some finish /finish cracks on the back of the neck from one side of the nut to the other. There is no crack or break and it is rock solid. (see pics)

The wear gives it authentic rock-and-roll character while everything functions perfectly — neck is straight, action is great, and it stays in tune.

Built in 2001 during ESP’s golden era for these Navigator models, this N-LP-320 CTM combines top-tier Japanese craftsmanship with killer upgrades and that addictive fat-neck feel. It’s loud, proud, and begging to be played loud.

Serious players only — this one has serious soul and will not last long. Message for more photos, videos, or to set up a time to try it. Priced fairly for a guitar this special.

Don’t miss your chance at this fat-necked, Seymour Duncan-powered beast. Grab it before it’s gone! 🎸💥​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Consignment Services

Like what you see? Let us go to work for you. We offer the best and most fair priced consignment service on the planet! Look for me online. @TheGuitarDude


Our Guarantee  

We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.  


Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)

- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues. 

- Intonation is spot-on.  

- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.  

- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.  


Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy 

We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:  

- You must 

notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.  

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.  

- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.  


We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, if something very small can be overseen, if tiny marks, dings or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.


We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.  


Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.  


We are a small family owned and run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling, returns without restocking fees or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.  


Payment, Shipping & International Duties  

- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.  

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.  

- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.  


International Shipping Note 

International shipping prices shown are for most countries. Certain countries have higher costs. We try and avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier in certain situations. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can’t under value merchandise as it can not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different avenues, contact us by phone for a personalized quote.  


Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
