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.

It is not in perfect condition but is still very nice. Take a look at the photos, it has some scratches that did not show but nothing bad. The crack on the neck joint is only in the paint and not in the wood.
