We got a few of these from ESP, they are what they refer to as artist stock. They are brand new MINT unplayed. These are not part of the original Limited 300 units, these serial numbers are marked differently than the regular production guitars. The normal SN are SLR13 for the year 2013 then 001 through 300, So SN #1 would have been SLR13001, these are 301P through 312P

They are not Sample/Prototype Guitars, they are what Jeff would have used for promotion or whatever. As far as I know everything else is the same on these as the production guitars except they do not have a COA and no case.

From its opening track “War Ensemble”, Slayer’s Seasons in the Abyss is a relentless album that epitomizes the sound and fury that is Slayer. ESP is proud to once again offer a limited-edition guitar that commemorates one of Slayer’s landmark albums.
