It 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. Some Samples are never make it into production models.

I do not recall ESP ever making the B-55 in Black Cherry, we have seen Black and TTM but dont think Black Cherry.
