Serial Number Check?
Serial Number Check?
K1249304
Hello all; would someone please let me know if this serial number is legitimate?
Do all signature series have the ESP logo on the back of the headstock? This one does not, and I feel like I got the deal of a lifetime on it.
It feels great, has the certificate of authenticity, came in what appeared to be original packaging, has the logo on the case, and appears to have come from a legitimate dealer. Am I just being paranoid, or am I in good shape?
Thanks to all; Happy Holidays
Ltd Ec-401FM - Serial number: IS090205989. Tried getting some photos, but itunes is driving me crazy. The bridge and saddle chrome color has faded completely. This started just after I bought the guitar in the summer of 2011. The binding on the tip of the cutaway, where the binding meets, is slightly uneven.
Looking for verification and when it was made. Thanks
Any chance we could get a better photo of the LTD logo?
I have an MH-301 from around 02-03 with a 6 digit code, made in Korea with a U prefix. I didn't think the 100 level guitars were Korean even then, but I might be wrong. It seems an odd guitar to fake, considering the price range. I suspect you're good, but the LTD logo in the full shot looks odd (probably refection of the flash.) The headstock shape and tuners look right.
Cool thanks. I didn't think it made sense to fake a 100, but I've seen weirder things. Any idea how old it might be? Feels much heavier than other M-100's I've touched in the recent few years. When did ESP switch production from the Korean factory to the Chinese factory? I'd really like to know more about this fine ax, it's the first LTD I've owned and it plays really nice for an "entry level" guitar.
It's legit.
