ESP KH-2 SE 'Greenburst' - Where were they built ?
ESP KH-2 SE 'Greenburst' - Where were they built ?
Hi guys,
After this post about the difference of hardware (Europe, US, RoHS, Black, Chrome, ...) I'm coming with a new question about this guitar :
- Where were they built ?
I saw some "Custom Shop" on Youtube, with the back plate recessed and a K serial, I've got a "Signature Series" with a SS serial.
Do the Custom Shop ones are extras from the original 100 produced ?
Do Kiso factory built guitars can leave the wharehouse with a SS serial ?
Cheers,
G.

both PUs are good old 81s’ and the inlays do not look “greenished”
I’m sure there’s no ashtray on the back also ...
You might be right there man. I had a look at the other pics and I can't see the inlays being greenish either or the ESP KH logo on the headstock either.
I am hoping to hear back from him, would be nice to know the history behind it and what it says on the COA.
I will be sure to let you know if I hear back from the owner.
If it has been refinished, someone did a VERY nice job replicating that paint job and colour.
Hoping to hear back from the seller, the COA should be able to tell us if it's an SE or not and which year.
I wonder if was one of the very first ones? Or perhaps a 'prototype'? They made this, then made the changes to the inlays, fretboard and pickups?
Dunno, but we will see what happens.
I am still waiting to hear back from old mate about this guitar. He has read another Facebook message I sent a few days ago, but has not replied.
I don't know why, I only asked to see a close up of the COA or the serial number so we can try work out which year it was built.
Some people are funny, why not just tell me or show me the COA lol.

Lol, yeah. Looks legit, of course.
Big Daddy is probably right on the money, but I am still curious.
I won't ask him again, but fuck him lol. Not hard to try and answer my question or show me the serial number.
I sent a very polite message to him, I wasn't rude or demanded anything.
Here is a 'players' KH2-SE for sale if anyone is keen.

No mention of the dent in the headstock? Not exactly "like new flawless mint awesome guitar" he says it is. Unless it's another K serial SE he bought? The one I'm thinking of is K1124512. He doesn't include a picture of the front or back of headstock to confirm if it's that one.
I'm amazed it goes from "used" when originally sold in Japan, to "New" in USA. Must have different interpretations of the words
Me thinks there are a few porky pies in that description haha.
Sounds like you are on the outer already mate.
Thanks, will send you an email shortly.
