Series 400?

I recently played on old ESP strat-type guitar, and was really impressed. It was an 400 series, very beat up, I'm told from the 80's. It has EMG pickups with no pole pieces showing. It felt really good, but also had great harmonics. I didn't get the serial number, or any other markings, but will likely have access again soon. Can anyone tell me something about the pickups? I read that the EMGs are "active". I didn't see it with the backplate off to notice if it had batteries. Any other info about these would be interesting. I've found some stuff by googling that seems to say that these are thought by many to be great and underappreciated.

you didnt specify if it had a pickguard or not. if it did, the battery could be attached there. What's the price on it?

It's not really for sale - I'd have to convince him to sell (also to convince myself to buy, since I already have too many guitars :-)

Will try to take some next week and post. It's a beautiful light blue, perhaps it's seafoam green.
