The Fake ESP Thread
The Fake ESP Thread
Pushead and I are here to help verify ESP and LTD guitars. If you have, or are looking to buy a guitar that you're unsure of, post pictures and questions in this thread. Please post clear pictures of the front and back of the headstock, the fretboard, and the front and back of the body. Preferably before you buy anything.
Anyone else is free to offer suggestions on authenticity. If you answer a post, please tell us why you think it's real or fake.
Hello everyone… A friend of mine recently bought this from Japan and as an ESP player asked me to check it out. It’s not in my hands yet but checked the serial number out online without success. Other numbers around that put it at late 1990’s but it has nothing else on the headstock front or rear which worries me a bit. It has scalloped frets above the 12th as well… any thoughts would be gladly welcomed.
Hello everyone, I wonder whether I should buy this guitar. This guy is selling it for less than $400. Looks like a George Lynch signature (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I don't see a serial number anywhere.
Do you guys think this is a legit US made ESP? It honestly seems too good to be true.
Thank you in advance.
Curious if this is a legit ESP LTD Grynch. #66, listed as a Japanese version with no case or CoA.
Thanks in advance!
Pics aren’t uploading so here’s a link!
Hello, Fist time poster! I found what they claim to be a one off custom shop over in Japan, but there's no serial number and the logo font looks pretty old school. It looks pretty modern so it's raising concerns that it's fake. I've talked to the shop owner and he says it's legit but what do you guys think?
