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.

Description taken from the 2006 ESP Website. As this is a Sample/Preproduction guitar some of the specs may vary from the production model that was made in by the hundreds. This also may not have been made in 2006.

I am not positive but I dont think the 407 was ever released in Black only in Black Satin. (could be wrong)
