What year was my ESP made, etc?
I'm trying to find out more about my ESP 'the eclipse', dark blue telecaster body, numbered 11538. Any info appreciated. Love this guitar!
The closest answer I can find is mid 80s. The 83 catalog is the only one where a painted/finished neck face (on a bass) and the 87 catalog was the only one that showed the Tele body labeled Eclipse.

Pushead Would you know whether this might be a Custom ESP Mirage 1 from Japan (one internet search suggested this)? Does anyone have any ESP contacts in Japan that might know?
Another pic of New York Dolls & solo guitarist the late great Johnny Thunders.The last one is from the 85 catalog and the top one is from the 87 catalog but as you can tell its from the same photo shoot probably in NYC.The one he's holding doesn't look like it has dot inlay.Not much info on these jewels great guitars with perfect ebony board & mine stays in tune like a champ.Hope this helps
If you cant find out check under the neck. Theres a code there that helps
