Check out the cool logo on the headstock, we have only ever seen one other with that logo.

It 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.

*As this is a Sample some specs may not be the same as the production model but 99% of the time they are the same. This one is obviously not the same as the production models. The specs below are an educated guess.
