Is my explorer genuine

Updated

Hi there I am new to these posts.

I recently picked up 2nd hand a black explorer with the banana shaped headstock (pre lawsuit) with the ESP logo on it.  How do I tell if it is genuine?

 

Thanks

The headstock and the logo seem a bit wonky to me.  The body and neck plate are good.  It's almost like you have an MX-220 headstock (the older style) on an EXP body.

It might be the angle/shadow, but it's not quite sitting right with me.

For reference, here's the headstock of my MX-II:

and when compared to my old bolt-on LTD EXP:

The body shape not convince me... I think is a fake...

Everything looks good except the headstock and logo. They both look a little funky to me. Its a FAKE.
