    "A.J." It's obviously Andy James' first ESP haha JK

      It looks to me like a cheaper made version of that George lynch carved skull guitar. Ltd makes a model kind of like this one has the skull painted instead of carved. So I'm thinking this may be a mid grade model someone had custom built in the mid 90's. All I know is it used to belong to the son of a movie exec. In hollywood. It was sold in an estate sale along with about 4 really nice strats one being an autographed hendrix strat. So I'm pretty sure it's a high dollar guitar based off what the rest of the lot looks like. But would like to know for sure.

        I've definately have seen this guitar before but like the cheaper version! I'm looking in the old catalogs to see if it's in a custom shop picture but I haven't found anything... 

        This is just what I've found on the Internet. This is in a Kirk Hammett forum... That the stamp on the back that says "ESP CUSTOM GUITARS" like our KH2's started in 1993 and ended in 2003 so maybe it was made somewhere in that time frame.... Sorry I couldn't help much bro :( so there's no serial numbers? Not on head stock? Or on the fret board at the bottom? Anything like that? Under a pickup?....

          I haven't looked under the pickups yet from what I've read it was really common for early and mid 90's custom esp to not have any serials

            wish I could help,  I have no idea, never seen one exactly like this. I like the graphic better than the carved ones i have seen. Hard to date since it appears to actually be a custom ordered guitar.  If its an older one it could be an eddie meeks paint job.
