ESP LTD PC-1V Paramount Blonde Sample/Prototype Electric Guitar

This X-Tone Paramount PC-1V was a nice find. It is a 2004 model and is in really nice condition. The gold hardware could use a quick shine. 

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.
