The ESP Guitar Company

I have had in my possession a George Lynch ESP M1 Tiger. I bought it from a local Guitar Store here in San Diego named Guitar Trader (closed down several years ago) back in 1989. It was signed by George Lynch and verified by Guitar Trader that the guitar came out of New York and was some how won in a contest. At the time didn't really care just thought it was cool. He was my Idol and I was a teenager. Anyway pulled it out recently and wanted to do a little research on it. The signature looks legit and is fading a little after 30 years. What I can't seem to track down is any like it with the Chrome Hardware and standard Fender style bridge. All the early examples I see are black hardware with Floyd Rose tremelo. Serial number is 10183 on back plate. Not sure if this is just a one off for a give away or what. Long Story short - Love the guitar just trying to figure out how many are out there like it.
