    Stef B7 serial number check

    Any ideas where this guitar was built? It's Signature Series 2012, serial SS12XXXXX.

    Inlay on the board, but no "Horizon" text on the stock.

    In Japan.  Not sure which factory built the Steph sigs.

      Yes I know it's Japan, it says that on the headstock.

      Just wondering if it was made in the custom shop or was it a parallel line with the Standards?

        I got confirmation from the local ESP distributor that it was made by the custom shop. Nice.

          Unfortunately, the distributor was wrong.  SS prefix means it's a signature series guitar.  Made in the same factory as some customs, but made on a production line rather than being overseen by a single luthier.

            Yes I know that.  It was made in the custom shop but as a production guitar.
