This ESP LTD EX-100 Left Hand 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.

It has some blemishes on it, one of the horns has a deep chip in it, down to the wood.
