ESP LTD 5 String Bass, the Flamed Maple top was not choice as can be seen in the photos and the notes on the box. 

This is a sample/preproduction guitar. 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. Not all Sample/Prototype models actually make it to production.
