ESP M-III Deluxe. Info anyone?
Does anyone have information about ESP's M-III Deluxe guitars? There is one selling his gtr and I haven't been able to find much information on Google, which is weird considering there you mostly DO find enough information about things..
So anyone? I know there might have been posts about this before..
The gtr for sale:

Thanks in advance.
Well, there wasn't quite as much of a desigination of what was "Custom" and what was "Standard." The guitar was a regular production model guitar. It wasn't a special made guitar. I couldn't tell you if it had the extra attention that a Custom order would get now.
In those days (and through the 90s) every guitar that wasn't for the Japanese market, had a circle logo on the back that says ESP Custom Guitars. In the 2000s, they modified the circle to reflect the production style of the guitar (Custom Shop, Signature Series, Standard Series, etc.)
Here is a link to some photos:

I have checked it and I'm pretty sure it is a real one. wouldn't hastly buy a bolt-on neck, 'cos those can be switched, but this one seems legit enough. The serial is correct and so is the "Custom" on the headstock which was ESP's style back then.
Early to mid 90s. Alder body, maple neck.
