A 2008 LTD ESP SA-2 Poker Prototype Electric Guitar, serial #SJ0800042, in black finish. Produced for, owned, and stage-played by Richie Sambora, guitarist for Bon Jovi. The guitar is a one-off made for Sambora and was used by him during the "Lost Highway" tour in 2008. The guitar includes 18 color photographs of Sambora playing the guitar as well as a Certificate of Authenticity by Sambora’s personal assistant from that year.

Richie Sambora affixed playing cards to the guitar, making it easily identifiable in photos from that year. He also signed the guitar on the front, dated ’08.

The SA-2 is a signature model for Richie Sambora which he designed along with his longtime guitar tech Chris Hofschneider, marked on the back with the logo of the company they formed together, Time Square Guitars. The SA-2 was an attempt at creating a touring-grade guitar that was also affordable, and it features a 25.5” scale length maple neck, a 22 fret rosewood fretboard, a black basswood body, a chrome Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo bridge, two humbuckers, a three way toggle switch, and volume and tone controls for each pickup.

The guitar includes a black ESP case, the arm for the Floyd Rose in the case compartment, 18 photos plus one signed poster of Sambora, and the COA from Sambora’s personal assistant.
