Sonia, I’m pretty sure the people on this site are more interested in quality guitars than your hookers. How’s the fret wear on their genitals? Pretty worn, I’d reckon.
Why is some guy named Matt the CEO of a Japanese company
Anyone know if ESP made a Eclipse semi hollow body in the 90's with a bolt on neck with a sticker on the back head stock that say ESP custom .
I was looking to purchase one , but I wanted to make sure they were real.
Thanks Tom
Bad people out there
There's currently a Chinese counterfeit KH-2 Ouija for sale on eBay for $3k. Stay away if you value your money. Seller's name is tjspawnshop
I was burned by one of these scam f@$KS. They should be shot in front of their families.
there's a website called Rare Guitar Heaven selling some ESP/LTD guitars like the Snakebyte, Kirk Hammett Guitars and the old MX-250's
Can you send like the serial to ESP and find out if its a fake?
Ive seen some horrible fakes! And then ive seen some good looking fakes. Fact of the matter is is to try to stop it. With all these fakes being produced and being cycled into the system it will stress out guitarists that want ESP's. Especially when your trying to find older models on ebay. A GEM like an MX-250 is being faked alot. Now i have to contact multiple people to make sure the esp's im getting are legit. Damn these crap companies faking stuff.
You do realize thats exactly how ESP got started right? It was one of those "crap" companies who were faking stuff.
You're a complete idiot, Kas.
Why not help us help you help us? Give us a damn serial number database. Let us register guitars so duplicated serials can be uncovered. I have long loved ESP/LTD both, but why make this generalized announcement about you and us both getting scammed if you have no desire to help stop it? Mid 2013 you became aware there were fake ESP's out there? A little late to the game brother, aren't we? I am not sure if you can see how this statement is seen by the consumers or not, but it could be as damaging to your reputation as the fake guitars are. A decade into fakes hitting the market, the company announces they are aware of fakes, consumers need to be more vigilant, and good luck. The ESP/LTD name doesn't only exist on the windows of storefronts, it is more at home in the hearts, mouths, and ears of the fans and consumers. 1 crappy fake will most likely be sold or traded off in the used market multiple times. It isn't just one fake was sold, so one genuine article sale was lost. 1 fake sold could cause a dozen people, espesscially those new to guitars, to be put off by the brand, and never consider buying them again. No one will want it, so it will be resold many more times than a genuine ESP would be.
Even if your records of past serial numbers isn't immaculant, start now, and use what you have. Building the database is simple, but of course all the data entry of the models, years, serials is time consuming. Sounds like a job for interns.
I agree. Do something like send out a mass message on Facebook and Twitter to tell ESP owners to register their serial numbers. That will reach a large audience and after that anyone who didn't see it will know by word of mouth. It's never too late to start a database, and it's especially necessary for a brand as huge as ESP. I'm currently looking at a custom shop EX (local seller), but I can't find any info on the serial to decide weather it's real or fake.
Hi!
I'm about to buy a used ESP Horizon hrf nt. In the catauloge it says the guitar has Gotoh locking tuners but this one doesn't. The tuners are gotoh but no locking tuners, is it a fake or are som released without lokking tuners?
I know this is a problem and I've never bought a fake esp/ltd. What I think its funny is that esp started out copying gibson stuff haha. But whatever I think esp's guitars and basses are better than gibson's guitars and basses. Sucks that people are ruining great instruments with fake ones and selling them cheap.
I agree with what others are saying here. A database would help alot. The limited run models and sign really need it seeing how those are the most faked. I see so many fake iron crosses and mx guitars. I'm even seeing slot of fake jh-3 and jh-2 lately and the kh-ouijas. These need a serial database to check and dome sort of verification process. I seen a snake byte last week with fake coa and all. It's getting hard luckily for the ones that have played a lot of legit esp guitars we can just tell by playing it but alot don't know any better.
What I can't understand is why people have to lie to themselves and to the others that they have highest available model of known guitar company.
Shut down rareelectricguitar.com. They try to do all of the copies. They are even doing copies of the old ESP explorers (MX-220 and the MX-250) that ESP got sued for in the first place. I heard they are junk anyway.
ok so im buying this ESP LTD MH-100QM with floyde roes and the guys only wanting 120 for it and when i look up the serial number i dont get anything about the guitar is it a fake??
Maybe. Just look for things like how well it stays in tune, or if just feels like crap, and stuff like that. Even though it is a bottom end range LTD, it sould play pretty good if it is real. The serial number thing is kind of suspicious though...look into it. Good luck man
welp, imitation is the best form of flatery they say...
the copies are soooo bad, i saw alot of them. if your really into ESP's you can easily tell its a fake. counterfiets are made badly, they cant even put the screws in the correct place.
esp guitars are the best..........
Matt, the distributor of Peru contained in the website is wrong. That way you have put here is from Chile. I refer to the following address:
Audiomusica
Av. Chile-Espana 393, Nunoa
Santiago, SLP 777-0380
Peru
P: +56 2 3752953
That address and store are not of Peru!
I wonder if they have any official dealer here in Peru. Because yes I know a store that matter ESP and LTD, but this is not listed on their website.
