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. Some Samples are never make it into production models.

I think this is a early 2003 Model.

As this is a preproduction sample some of the specs may not be the same but 99.9% of the time they are.

The back of one of the horns also has a scratch as seen in the photos.
