ESP LTD TE-212 SS Rare Sample/Prototype Electric Guitar

This is what the UK Version of the LTD TE-212 was based on. The UK production model ended up having a black pickguard. The US model is a bit different than both of these with a humbucker in the Bridge. The US model in Candy Apple Red has a white pickguard but still has a humbucker in the bridge position.

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.
