    I just got this ESP Eclipse and was not aware that counterfeits were a thing on these, till I hit these forums and saw the many posts from concerned owners from all over. Mine has a logo on the headstock that I cannot find on other Eclipses and I am worried that it is NOT a "Other than U.S.Market" release, but fingers crossed, right? Maybe it is a Japanese market release, and I just have not found a pic yet, or something like that, I'm hoping. Soon as I figure out how to post pics, I will. Till then, maybe someone knows if the model ever came with the "E.S.P". BLOCK LETTER LOGO, ever?
    Says on back of headstock:
    (Serial # is): SS0703641  (in white horizontally ot top of back)
    "Made in Japan" (in white bar-block above 1-inch circle)
    and in that 1-inch circle on the volute, says "ESP STANDARD SERIES" one word above the other w/"ESP" in block form font
    Color of finish (matte black) and hardware (black)
    Fully bound (thick blk & wht-6 layers)incl. fingerboard (just thin white)
    Odd shaped truss-rod cvr 2 ply, B&W, w/1 screw at top
    GROVER tuners and DUNCAN p-ups (Jazz & Pearly Gates)
    ANY HELP is greatly appreciated. Pics to follow, I hope.
    Thanks!!

        So the ESP is not a genuine, and so, about the EC-1000? Is it a fake, too?

          The LTD is legit, the "wear" on the back of the neck was added by a previous owner. It's a 2008 model.
