This is a rare version of the AX-2E in Walnut, not the ebony top. The tuners could use a polish. I think it is from about 2009. It is a sample/prototype. I took the specs from the 2009 ESP Website, as this is a sample/prototype the specs might be different. ESP makes the samples to test out various colors, finishes and to show to dealers prior to the actual model being built. They take them to shows like NAMM and start taking preorders for the new years model. Some Samples are never make it into production models.
