ESP Standard V - fake or not?

Updated July 30, 2017 17:02

Never seen this model on any site whatsoever ,can't figure out whether it is real or not.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251850123616

The details of the guitar :

neck through mahogany body
maple neck
ebony board
thin u neck contour
24 extra jumbo frets
black nickel gotoh hardware
EMG 81 in neck and bridge
esp standard series made in japan

is that legit?

looking at the guitar's picture in the link it looks like they took the LTD version , changed the fingerboard and just wrote down ESP instead of LTD...since he has no proof of the buy , no ID for the guitar , besides the Serial number which i can't do a thing with on my own.. i dont know how to tell whether it is real or not. any help would be appreciated.

It's legit. They made an ESP V-II for a while. The serial number dates to 2012, and if you look in the 2012 catalog, you'll see one that looks just like the one in the auction.
