Akira Takasaki Random Star 1985?

Hi fellow ESP members. I've duplicated this post in the 'Signature Series' thread as well, so if this is not allowed, feel free to delete it.

So, here's my story. I just picked up this beautiful vintage Akira Takasaki Random Star from supposedly 1985 or around this time frame. I bought it from a guy why used to be a big fan of Akira (like me) and he bought it from a Japanese collector. Obviously it probably never left its case, because it's still in mint condition! 

Anyway, there are a few things that I can't confirm, like the exact year and the bridge used on here. You see, Akira used to play this guitar with a Flicker II bridge. I've never seen him play with this type of (vintage/80s ESP/Floyd) bridge. Also, I can't find anything with the provided serial number either. I'd like to have confirmed to me that it's indeed a vintage custom shop and from what year. As the serial number is quite low (03372) it might indeed be a very unique configuration/model. If anyone can provide me with some more info about this guitar I'd be very happy! Cheers!

I can't help you, but I figured I'd share my story since I'm in a similar situation.  Here's my post from a couple years ago:
