This ESP LTD FX-400 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.

This one has a blemish on the horn where if you were playing it the blem would be where your right elbow is. The blem is towards the back side if the guitar. It also has a few very small fisheyes in the finish here and there all around the guitar.
