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.

Please note, ESP wrote on the box "Loose Frets" I did not find any but would prefer this guitar goes to a US customer not Canada incase there is a problem it will be a lot cheaper on the shipping incase it does need to come back. Or if you have a good luthier that can replace the fret real quick for you.
