This is an LTD, it is pretty neat that it has an ESP Logo on the headstock but it is an LTD not made in Japan.

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.

*As this is a Sample some specs may not be the same as the production model but 99% of the time they are the same.

This also includes an Original ESP Case. The case is used and has some tare in the tolex with some stickers on it but does serve its purpose and the latches work.
